According to "Autobiography of William Seymour Tyler" 1912, "Rev. John Whiting son of Major William and Susanna, was born about 1635, graduated at Harvard 1653, joined the church in Cambridge, and in 1657 became assistant to Rev. Edward Norris at Salem. In 1660 he removed to Hartford, was ordained pastor of the First Church (Mr. Hooker's). His rigid views of church discipline led (1669) to a division, and he formed (Feb. 12, 1670), a new church called the South Church at Harford, where he labored twenty years, until his death, September 8, 1689. Cotton Mather speaks of him in his Magnalia as among those who 'will never be forgotten. till Connecticut Colony do forget itself and all religion.' He was chaplain of the Harford forces in King Philip's War."
His first wife, Sybil, gave birth to seven children. After she died, John Whiting married Phoebe and had seven more children.
 

John was probably born in England. Although Goodwin (p. 330) said he was born in 1635, Savage doubted it, because on 30 September 1654, when he should have been of years of legal discretion, an agreement relating to the distribution of the estate of his father was signed by him as well as his elder brother, and Mr. Fitch who had married his mother, and the great friends, Webster and Stone, in whom his father had confidence. Torrey gives his birth as ?1633.
