122. John1 Whitmore; born 1589 at England; died Oct 1648 at Connecticut.77
He "He was Deputy1 to New Haven in 1642 and 1643; possibly in 1647 (records missing). Selectman of Stamford in 1641, and probably until his death.
He left his house one morning to look after his cattle, in the common grounds to the west of the village, and never returned. His disappearance caused much excitement in that settlement, and a feeling of alarm quickly spread through the whole colony. The matter was brought up in the General Court in Hartford, on the 13th of Sept., 1649, and Deputy Gov. Edward Hopkins, Roger Ludlow, Magistrate, and John Talcott, Deputy, were sent at once to confer with Gov. Eaton and the New Haven magistrates, about sending an expedition against the Indians, who were universally believed to be responsible for his disappearance. Five days later, forty-five men, well equipped, were sent to the aid of the New Haven Colony.
Sept. 24, 1649, the New Haven General Court took ample measures to raise men, stores and equipment, to quell any Indian outbreak, and the Stamford Indiaus, who had been very insolent, were overawed and soon became peaceable again. "78
