Thomas Whitewood

Thomas Whitewood was a stationer in Portsmouth. He was probably the son of either Thomas Whitewood (d. 1767)—one of the trustees when the Baptist Church at Meeting-house Alley, Portsea, was purchased in 1755, and who later served as minister to the Baptist church in Reading (1749-66)—or Daniel Whitewood (Thomas’s brother), who served as a deacon and assistant minister at Meeting-house Alley from 1732 until shortly before his death in 1765.
