     John Whittle, son of Thomas and father of our subject, was born in Colchester township, and was four years of age when brought by his parents to Mersea township.

After attaining his majority, he removed to Gosfield township, bought 300 acres of land, and became one of the substantial men of that section...
     After settling in Gosfield township, John Whittle married Anne Thornton, a native of Pennsylvania, daughter of Richard Thornton, who came from England. The following children were born to the parents of our subject: ... Andrew is mentioned below...
     Andrew Whittle ... came to Mersea township, and settled upon 100 acres of bush land, owned by his father. There were no buildings upon it, and he immediately built a small frame house in which he remained until 1881, when he replaced it with a comfortable modern brick home. After clearing off his original farm, Mr. Whittle added 100 acres, and made many improvements, being extensively engaged in stock and tobacco raising. A portion of this farm is now operated by his son, Ezra... By his honorable methods Mr. Whittle has won the respect of his neighbours, and few men stand higher in the community. For many years he has been a leading member of the Universalist Church, of which his wife and children are also members, and he holds the offices of secretary and treasurer in that body...
     In 1870 Andrew Whittle married Mahala Batchall, and six children have been born to this marriage: ... (6) Gordon is at home. All the children have grown into men and women of whom any parents might well be proud.
