    • "Records of the WHITTLESEY family have been traced to 664 A.D. in Whittlesey Mere, County of Cambridge, England. William Whittlesey (1300-1374) was the 57th Lord Archbishop of Canterbury (1368-1374). John Whittlesey came to America in 1623, and is a direct ancestor of Joseph Adolphus Whittesley b 1820. He was in Texas before 1840. In 1841, he was co-editor of the REDLANDER in San Augustine. He taught school, served in the Mexican War, was County Judge of Sabine County, and Postmaster of Sabinetown." (White and Toole, p 82).

      The death certificate of his eldest son, Oscar, instead showed that Joseph was born in Virginia.
