| Born in England; came to USA in 1641 with his mother; lived in Bridgewater, Mass. in 1662 Made freeman in 1653 at Boston. Sold his Weymouth farm in 1662 and moved to Bridgewater with his father-in-law Nicholas Byram (who probably came over with John Whitman from England) . The place he settled has since been called "Whitman's Neck", which was about 200 acres between the Sautucket and Matfield Rivers, coming to a point at their junction. He stayed there for 50 years. His first house, a log cabin, was burnt by the Indians. The second, also a log cabin, was only lived in a few years. The third was built in 1680 and was occupied for four generations.
