He was born at Rosette (later Round Hill, Nova Scotia), the son of Elizabeth (Rice) and John Whitman, and, after completing his education, engaged in agriculture and fruit-growing. Whitman's first wife was Eleanor Spurr; he later married Charlotte Tupper. He died at Round Hill at the age of 83.
His son George and his brother Alfred also served in the provincial assembly.
