7. John Whitman, born about 1602 in Holt, Norfolk Co., England, died 13 November 1692 in Weymouth, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts; married Ruth in 1625, who died in 1662.  John was one of the earliest settlers of Weymouth, Massachusetts, and was made a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony on 13 March 1638-39, and a town officer of Weymouth in 1643. In 1645 he was appointed an Ensign by the Governor and was probably the first military officerin Weymouth.  On 14 May 1645 he was made magistrate of the town, or commissioner to end small causes, as the office was termed. He was also deacon of the church probably from its foundation until his death 13 November 1692. He was likely near 90 yrs old when he died, as the youngest of his 9 children was born in 1646, the eldest in 1629, while some of his daughters may have been older. It is thought he was married in England about 1625. The family did not follow him to Weymouth until 1641. The fact that Zachariah and Robert came in 1635 makes it probable that John came also in that year.  John owned and lived upon a farm adjoining the north side of the highway near the town center, the farm until 1830 was owned by a descendant. He had many grants of land and by this and purchase became one of the largest land owners in the town. He held the office of Ensign until 16 March 1680. On 15 May 1664 he was appointed a messenger to the Indians and held other positions of trust in the colony.
