Biography

From Page 356 - 357 of The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 18
edited by Philip Alexander Bruce, William Glover Stanard. “THE RANDOLPH MANUSCRIPT. Virginia Seventeenth Century Records.”

At " Highgate," in Gloucester, is the tomb of Catherine, wife of Major John Washington and daughter of Col. Henry Whiting, and Elizabeth his wife. She was born May 22d, 1694. It is not known whether this was the same as Henry Whiting of the Council. The tomb bears Arms: On a Chevron, between three wolves 'heads erased, three trefoils. Crest: A wolf's head (?) erased. These arms must be intended for Whiting; but there is no coat like this ascribed to Whiting in the ordinary books of heraldry.
About the date of the birth of Catherine Whiting must have occurred the marriage between one of the family and one of the co-heiresses of Peter Beverley, Esq., of Gloucester. There is on record in Middlesex county a deed dated October, 1744, from Ann, widow of Henry Whiting of Gloucester, and eldest daughter and co-heiress of Peter Beverley, Esq.; Dame Susanna Randolph, widow of Sir John Randolph, and Peter Randolph, of Henrico, eldest son of Elizabeth, late wife of William Randolph, of Henrico, said Elizabeth being second daughter of said Peter Beverley, of the 1st part; Thomas Whiting the elder, and Bayly Seaton, of Petsworth parish, Gloucester, of the ad part, and Henry Whiting, of Middlesex, gent, and Joyce his wife, of the 3d part. It is probable that Thomas Whiting, the elder, was eldest son of Henry and Ann Whiting.
