Biography

The first wife of Daniel Whitehead of Long Island was an unnamed daughter of Thomas Armitage and Susan Mitchell^{[1] [2] [3]}, and their children included:

1. David^[4], born circa 1647, who may have married Sarah Opdyke, daughter of Gilbert Opdyke and Catherine Smith, and had a daughter Catherine. He was shot in the thigh and disabled^[5]
2. Daniel, who became a Major and Patentee^[6]. He was born 1646, died 1704, and married Abigail Stephenson^{[5] [4] [7] [2]}
3. jonathan^[4]
4. Adam^[2], who died in 1681, and left an estate to three minors, Thomas, Jemima and Elizabeth, who may have been his siblings or his children^[4]

It is not clear if she died circa 1659 before Daniel remarried, or if there were two Daniel Whiteheads^{[2] [4]}.

Notes

It seems next to certain that in 1658 Whitehead was married to a daughter of Thomas Armitage of Hempstead. Whether she was the mother of his three eldest children is unknown, but it is a workable hypothesis.
