Genealogies - Whiting's, Wight's, Wight Family Tree
It is the sole purpose of each genealogy page is to share the information I have with others. I have only included my direct lines, though I do have additional information on other branches. Some of my personal lines are rather extensive. Should you see a name that fills in a 'leaf' on your tree, please feel free to contact me.
My maternal grandmother, Dorothy Ann (nee Wight) Kendall, is the leadoff for these branches of my family tree.
The Wight family tree has many branches, but the main lines are the Wight's, the Avery's, and the Whiting's. These branches are the ones in which I have the most information. Below you will find details of the Whiting's genealogy.
The Whiting's belong to the Wight genealogy by Mary Whiting's (4th generation) marriage to Thomas Wight (7th generation).
It is to be noted that the Whiting's, along with both the Wight's and the Avery's, were founding families of the town of Dedham, Massachusetts.
