| | History of Whitton Lincolnshire |
 | | Note: Alice Hobson was born in Frodingham in 1795 and was married in Winterton, in 1818, to Whitton farmer Joseph Dinsdale. |
 | | Opposite Whitton, there, is in the Humber, a bed of silt, called Whitton sands, more than a mile broad, and two miles in length, which is left bare at low water, and upon which steamers and other vessels are often left aground until the return of the tide, and in stormy weather sometimes wrecked. |
 | | In Whitton much of the wheat and barley in the fields could not be harvested, because, in the damp, the grain sprouted on the stalk, and was ruined. |
