By the death of William WHITLOCK, Esq., at St. Andrews (Charlotte Co.) on 3rd inst., one of the links that connects the present with the early history of the Province is broken. Mr. W. was descended from a good old loyalist family. His grandfather, Capt. Thomas WHITLOCK came with the loyalists from Pennsylvania and settled in St. John. He, with General COFFIN, gave the lot of land upon which the first church was erected. In the female line he is descended from Lt. HALLET who during the Revolutionary war, held a commission in the Royal Navy and was owner of a farm on Long Island near New York, near the celebrated Hurl gate, and known to this day as Hallet's Point. His father, William Whitlock, built and owned one of the first two story frame buildings erected in St. John and was situated on Water St. near the South wharf, which he occupied as a dwelling and store, where he carried on for years a general business. In 1812, Mrs. WHITLOCK, with her children, moved to St. Andrews, where her eldest daughter then lived, being married to the late Hon. Harris HATCH. She opened a store in which her son William was her clerk and right hand man. He sometimes went to St. John to purchase stock. During the year 1822, William commenced business on his own account in a store situated on Water St., St. Andrews upon the site now occupied by the Morrison's Hotel. After a few years he retired, to accept the position of manager of Messrs. Allenshaw and McMaster's lumber business at St. George, where he made hosts of friends. Resigning that position he returned to St. Andrews and recommenced business on his own account in a store upon the Market wharf, from which he afterwards removed to the store in the house owned and occupied by his mother in the Church Block on Water St., and in which he successfully carried on a general grocery and hardware business up to the hour of his death. The house has been in the possession of the Whitlock family for over fifty years. In addition to his store business he engaged to a considerable extentin shipping, at various times owning shares in, or the whole of, vessels, some of which he got built. He held the agencies for several fire insurance firms, was agent for steamer "Belle Brown", Lloyd's Agent and secretary for the St. Andrews Steamboat Wharf Co. Previous to Confederation he was for some time Commissioner of buoys and beacons. He took a leading part in the promotion of the company formed for building the St. Andrews & Quebec Railway and was director of the company. He held the commission of Peace for twenty years. He was a loyal adherent to the Church of England. He was for years a vestryman of All Saints Church. While sitting in his office, talking with an old acquaintance from St. John, he passed away without a murmer. Of the four brothers and three sisters, one of each (the youngest) only are left. Samuel H. WHITLOCK, now residing in St. Andrews and Emma WATSON w/o Robert WATSON, Esq., St. Stephen. Wm Whitlock was unmarried.
