 | | In addition to John Whitman of Weymouth, Mass., Farnam also points to Joseph Whitman of Huntington, Long Island from whom Walt Whitman, the poet, is descended, as well as are the Long Island Whitmans, some of whom settled in Central New York and Canada. |

 | | The Scranton Whitmans are descended from Stephen Whitman (1799-1866), a farmer, who traveled from his native Warwick, Rhode Island to Bailey Hollow (present-day Dalton), Abington Twp, Pennsylvania sometime after 1810 with his widowed mother, Roby Colvin, her father Peter Colvin, and two brothers, George (1802) and David (1806). |
