| | ZoomInfo Web Summary: William Whittingham |
 | | In 1855 William Rollinson Whittingham, Bishop of Maryland, called for preservation of long-accumulating diocesan papers, and in 1860 a Records Committee was created to care for them. |
 | | William R. Whittingham (1805-79): More than 30,000 papers including private family correspondence, 1808-86; Whittingham's official correspondence and journals as Bishop of Maryland, 1840-1879; his minutes and notes on proceedings of the General Convention, 1832-77; sermons, clippings, pastoral letters, circulars, private diaries, and many other documents. |
 | | Bishop Whittingham brought one of his priests to trial in a liturgical dispute (something perhaps tempting to latter day bishops!), and a few years later, a group tried to return the favor, seeking to memorialize General Convention to protest some of the Bishop,s actions. |
