She was the daughter of J. and Mary Whitman. She married Nicholas D. Wagner on 13 June 1847 in Woolwich, Canada. Nicholas D. Wagner emigrated from Germany with his father, Caspar and mother, unknown when he was 10 years old in 1833 to Woolwich, Ontario, Canada. Nicholas became a citizen of Canada on 11 Jan 1848. They and their first five children emigrated to Fillmore County, MN in 1857. Nicholas died 28 Sept 1896 and Sarah died 13 July 1897; they are buried in the Crown Hill Cemetery, Preston, MN. The county death records Sarah's parents as only J. and Mary Whitman. Census and other information records her place of birth as Vermont or Waterloo, Canada but most of the time it lists Vermont. I have visited the Vermont birth/deaths/marriage card index in Montpelier twice and was unable to find a record of her birth or her parents marriage. I tried every variation of the spelling of the Whitman last name without success. I have no idea what an English descendant named Whitman from VT would be doing in Waterloo, Canada any way. I've looked at the census for Whitmans in Waterloo without success (not many people of English ancestry). She married at the age of 18. Nicholas Wagner was a successful shoemaker of modest means but well enough to have ten children. Sarah is my great great grandmother and I'm hoping someone can share information on whom Sarah Whitman's parents were and where they were from. Thanks for your help!

My name is Cliff Williams, and you can see an example of what I mean by visiting my historical website [ www.towpathers.com ]and checking out the webpage I built for a Mr. Thomas Doganieri. He grew up in Ft. Plain, NY and was delighted to share his wonderful old photos of Lock-32 and finally get them on the Internet for other interested visitors to see. I hope that you will seriously consider allowing me the honor to do the same for you. Your page will be of similar design, and can contain a little or allot of information. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me. Respectfully, Cliff Williams - Rochester, NY Cliff Williams <bumpa@bluefrognet.net> 2008-02-17T03:20:58-06:00 Re: [WHITMAN] WHITMAN Digest, Vol 1, Issue 6 http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/WHITMAN/2008-02/1201899510 Mary Jo and Donald: I will certainly keep your information of all your names handy while I am doing my research just in case I come across something. The oldest Whitman ancester that we have is Joseph B. Whitman, he came to the US at an early age from England, we estimated that he was probably born Abt. 1790's. Not sure where he grew up or who his parents were, but he settled in Oak Hill, NY with his wife, they later moved to Poughkeepsie, NY, where he died in 1870. Currently, all of our research is centered around the the Delaware, Greene, Dutchess, and Kings counties of New York.

In the last few years, I have become somewhat involved in the Sprague ancestry, and have run across some interesting stories about the Whitman-Sprague family relationship possibilities.

This is the correct family, Charles was the youngest born to this family in 1853: Francis B. Whitman, age 31, shoemaker, was in Walton, Delaware Co., New York in 1850. Others in the household were Dolly, age 26; Alfred E., age 7; Laurent D., age 4; and William S., age 1. All had been born in New York. They were the only Whitmans in Walton. Not sure where Charles was married, we do know that his wife was named Elizabeth and they had a son, Charles, b. 1877 in Prattsville, NY. His son settled in Brooklyn, NY and married in 1903 to Grace Boggs. The name remained the same throughout the years, we discovered a digital book, "Bouton-Boughton Family" written in 1809 that shows several pages of Whitmans. I'll look into subscribing to the county lists.

We have Charles Whitman, b.1853 in Hancock, Delaware County, NY. His parents are Francis B. Whitman and Dolly Twedell of Hunter, NY. We believe that Charles is my husband's great great grandfather, can someone point me in the right direction in locating Charles' marriage information.

The Whitman list is not very active at the moment. I'm not sure how many other people are subscribed who can help you. My best advice is to join the Rootsweb mailing list for Delaware Co., New York. I believe it would take an email to this address: NYDELAWA-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the message subject and body. People on that list would be more familiar with the local marriage regulations/documents in Delaware Co. and where to obtain them. Success, of course, is contingent upon Charles being in Delaware Co. for his marriage. Where did he end up? Are you subscribed to Ancestry.com? I had a little look on your behalf, and I found: Francis B. Whitman, age 31, shoemaker, was in Walton, Delaware Co., New York in 1850. Others in the household were Dolly, age 26; Alfred E., age 7; Laurent D., age 4; and William S., age 1. All had been born in New York. They were the only Whitmans in Walton. The only Charles Whitmans born c1853 in NY in the 1880 census are one in Brooklyn without family, a second in Dubuque, Iowa with a wife named Catherine, and a third in Wells, Hamilton Co., NY with a wife named Emma J. Also, I googled Whitman+Twedell and came up with this Rootsweb page by Richard A. Rice in November 2001: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=rice13&id=I1373 He doesn't have a wife listed for Charles Whitman, but perhaps you could contact him and ask for any updates that he may have. Good luck with your search. Regards, Mary Jo C.

Where was your husband borne, NY or elseware? The whitman list is not too ative, but ... I s there any chance that a spelling change is possible? Witt, or Wit?
