• Notes

  On 22 Aug 1851, a tornado struck the towns of Medford, West cambridge and Waltham in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. In the list of damages is found Fessenden and Whittemore, $1000, the largest loss listed, the total for all being $23,606. Philip was a member of the Unitarian (?) Church of Arlington, Massachusetts. He helped his father run the mill in West Cambridge and he eventually ran it on his own, probably with the help of his brother, Ichabod. Philip's wife, Rebecca, was the daughter of Rebecca Cutler of Lexington. Rebecca was previously married to Tufts. She was a grinder of spices, medicines and dye stuffs. Ref: "Lexington, Mass.
