Webster's 1828 Dictionary

WHEN

adv. [G., L.] 1. At the time. We were present when General LaFayette embarked at Havre for New York.
2. At what time, interrogatively.
When shall these things be? Matthew 24:3.
3. Which time.
I was adopted heir by his consent; since when, his oath is broke.
4. After the time that. When the act is passed, the public will be satisfied.
5. At what time.
Kings may take their advantage, when and how they list.
When as, at the time when; what time.
When as sacred light began to dawn.

 

WHENCE

adv. 1. From what place.
Whence and what art thou?
2. From what source. Whence shall we derive hope? Whence comes this honor?
Whence hath this man this wisdom? Matthew 13:54.
3. From which premises, principles or facts. These facts or principles are admitted, whence it follows, that judgment must be entered for the plaintiff.
4. How; by what way or means. Mark 12:37.
5. In general, from which person, cause, place, principle or circumstance.
From whence may be considered as tautological, from being implied in whence; but the use is well authorized, and in some cases the use of it seems to give force or beauty to the phrase. We ascended the mountain, from whence we took a view of the beautiful plains below.
Of whence is not now used.
