Son of Philip & Thankful (Pond) Withington of Dorchester, MA. Married Elizabeth Russell at Cambridge, MA, May 4, 1710. He died at age 89. They had 4 children, all born in Dorchester.
"John Withington, who originally belonged to Milton, appears in Canton as a member of the church in 1717. He was the son of Philip and Thankful (Pond) Withington, and was born Dec. 30, 1682. He sold his house and farm to Rev. Mr. Dunbar in 1728 and in 1733 removed to Stoughton, having purchased from Edward Esty the saw-mill on the site now occupied by French & Ward. In his later life he returned to Canton, where he lived a good old age, with his son, and died Dec 31, 1772. He was one of our earliest school teachers, and his penmanship was elegant." [2]
