187	James Whidden was among the first settlers of Truro. He was a Grantee of the township.	WHIDDEN, James * (I202482666948)
188	James Whidden, b. about 1710 in Canterbury, NH (baptized in 1713 at Greenland, NH). By the mid-1740s he was living in nearby Nottingham, NH. He and his family lived there for about 15 years and then in 1761, at the age of about 48, he decided to move to Nova Scotia. Jane Wile (5) speculates that for the sake of his children he wanted to take advantage of the new lands that were opening up in NS and there was also the fact that one of the agents organizing emigration to NS was Jacob Longfellow, the brother-in-law of his son John. After the expulsion of the Acadians, the British government wanted the vacated lands to be colonized by British protestants and strongly promoted immigration from New England. According to Wile (5), the family traveled to Nova Scotia on a ship belonging to the famous John Hancock of Boston, an American founding father, who was a friend of James. A grandson of James (a son of David) would later be named John Hancock Whidden in his honour. James and his son David received land grants at Truro, James receiving a full share of 500 acres. His son John (and Jacob Longfellow) settled at Cornwallis. In Truro, James was a farmer and miller (both sawmill and grist mill). As a farmer, he principally grew flax, for the production of linen. James was the founder of the Whidden line of Colchester County, NS. James married three times. The Miller book had indicated that Mary Lyons [sic] was the mother of his children but this is not the case; Mary Lynds was in fact his third wife. He first married Abigail Sanborn on March 26 1734 in Greenland, NH; she was the mother of his seven children (see following section). She was born October 24, 1715 in Hampton, Rockinham, NH, daughter of Samuel Sanborn and Sarah Philbrick. She died in the late 1750s, possibly in Nottingham, NH, leaving a family of young children. James then married Abigail Tilton before January 30 1759 (date of a legal document in which she delegated to her husband James Whidden of Nottingham the administration of the estate of her late son Jonathan Prescott). She thus must have been previously married to a Prescott. She was born May 20 1706 in Hampton, NH, daughter of Samuel Tilton and Meribah Page. She died before 1774 (date of James's third marriage); it is not clear whether or not she emigrated to NS with her husband in 1761.
