Notes

Patricia Williams, a researcher on the Internet, suggests:" The name of the father to your Mathias was Isaac Whiteman, b 1764 in Washington County, PA. He was married to Eleanor Maughman born March 7, 1766 and had children: Mathias, Esther, Susan, John, Isaac and Andrew. I descend through Andrew, who was my maternal gggrandfather."(13)

Descendants of Isaac Whiteman
Generation No. 1
1. ISAAC WHITEMAN was born 1764 in Washington Co., PA, and died 1823. He married ELEANOR MAUGHAMAN Abt. 1793. She was born March 07, 1766 Children of ISAAC WHITEMAN and ELEANOR MAUGHAMAN are:
i. ESTHER WHITEMAN.
ii. SUSAN WHITEMAN.
2. iii. ANDREW WHITEMAN, b. April 19, 1795, Washington Co. , PA; d. July 02, 1882, Donegal Twp., Washington Co., PA.
3. iv. MATHIAS WHITEMAN, b. Greene Co., PA; d. September 10, 1880, Hamilton Co., IA. (We show a birth date of 1814 for our Mathias.) We know that our Mathias Whiteman was born about 1814 because the 1880 census gives an approximate year of 1815 for him, which should have been accurate information from Mathias himself.. It also says his father was born in Maryland, and his mother in New York. So mistakes can be made, either from the census informant, or family historians.

Important note: One researcher showed Isaac as having two Mathias Whiteman sons. This is most likely a mistake, but it can send researchers traveling down the wrong road. Maybe he did, since one of the two Mathiases was shown born about 1797. Andrew Whiteman was born in 1795, so this is a sensible date. However, Isaac Whiteman II is shown as being born in 1820, so it would also make sense for this Mathias to have been born in 1814. Research continues on this issue.
