Biographical History
William Rollinson Whittingham was born in New York City, N.Y., and graduated from the General Theological Seminary in 1825. He was ordained as an Episcopal priest in 1829 and became rector of Saint Mark's Church in Orange, N.J. Whittingham later served as rector of Saint Luke's Church in New York City, and in 1835 became a professor of ecclesiastical history at the General Theological Seminary. In 1840, he was elected Episcopal bishop of Maryland, the youngest American bishop to date, and served in that capacity until his death. During the Civil War, Whittingham supported the Union cause, which lost him the sympathies of many. At the time of his death in 1879, Whittingham was the second oldest American bishop, having served 39 years in office.
