He was survived by his widow Anne who continued to live in Gilford, New Hampshire.

It is reported in the community where I live that Andrew Whittier died at the age of 124 years and was a soldier of the Revolutionary War. If this be true, the members of the Grand Army of the Republic and other citizens are interested in establishing that fact, and I will appreciate it if you will advise me if there is anyone on the rolls of your office by that name who served in the Revolutionary War.
The information that I have indicates that he came from Pennsylvania to Ohio.
