JOHN G WHITTEN, perhaps the son of Amaziah and Nancy Whitten [liv in their
hh in 1860 census], was born about 1837 in Alfred, Maine [Descriptive Roll]. He
died on 30 July 1864 in Petersburg, Virginia, his burial place is currently
unknown.
He married, 9 Mar 1864 in Kennebunk [Kennebunk VR], to ANN MARIA STOVER. An IGI record has her birth as 15 Feb 1838, though I haven't seen source of this date yet.
During the 1850 Alfred, Maine census, John G was living in the household of Issachar and Abigail Kimball, age 13. In 1860 Sanford, he was with Amaziah Whitten and his second wife Catherine (first wife Nancy died in 1850), John working as a house carpenter.
Following his time with the 27th Maine Volunteers, he enlisted as a 2nd Lieut. with the 32nd Maine Infantry in March '64. He was later promoted to 1st LT of Company F. During the Battle of Burnside's Mine at Petersburg on 30 July 1864, he was killed at Cemetery Hill. His widow Annie filed for a pension on 29 Jan 1866 (app #120,080 cert #77,895).
