== Albert Russell Whitney family ==
I have finished updating Albert's family page that you started. It doesnt appear when you do a search from the main page but does show a link to an article for him. Do I have to create another page for him for it to show up or can it just be copy and pasted?
Thanks, Jim

==Operator Error==
Okay, You can ignore this one Tim, operator error. I wasnt using the search bar properly. Thanks, Jim

== Missing Photos ==
Tim,

Check out [[Archive:A Family Sketch]]. There are several missing images there. I cannot find these files in my computer and backups. Do you have copies?

== Carlos Whitney ==
Thank you for starting a page for Carlos Whitney. I contacted
the author who had mentioned him in his book and while he
didn't have any new info., he did suggest a couple resources
re: Adirondack Guide History. I will certainly add any info.
I find to the page.

Thanks again,
Sherry.

== My William ==
Dear Tim,

That's him! (Feels silly think of him as 'mine', though I guess he is my 3rd great grandfather!) What we know from history is that the Neil House burnt to the ground in 1860. We find William and his wife & daughters at this time still in Ohio, and William is working as a RR conductor. In 1870 the family lives in Indianapolis, as well as a new addition, little William, age 8 (who was born in Ohio, so we can deduce that the family moved sometime around/after 1862). William (now a 'Sr' of sorts) is employed as a RR Clerk.
We know from "Selected Counties of Ohio 1789-1850, Marriages" that William's daughter Harriet married Frank Bird, and I do have a newspaper clipping from March 14, 1900 detailing the marriage of Harriet's daughter Jessie Holiday Bird to Harry William Griffith (son of Elnora Libby & William Chenowith Griffith). My grandmother's notes declare that Harriet passed away 13 July, 1924. Her daughter Jessie would go on to give birth to Richard Gordon Griffith (1902)and Nancy Bird Griffith (1907). Jessie died in 1957 in Battle Creek, MI. Her daughter Nancy, mother of Jane Griffith Peirce Wood, is my grandmother.

I have correspondence from a genealogical hunt that Nancy and a friend of a friend endeavored back in the late seventies, and they where totally stumped as to Harriet's parentage. It feels good to know that I am at least one step closer to solving the mystery! (And to think - they had to do all the research by hand! Oy! Thank Goodness for computers!)

Thanks you so much for your help and your resources!

== My Whitney Family ==

Tim,

Thank you for the welcome, and for looking over what I'd done. I couldn't work out how to link the pages myself, so thank you for doing that. I do have a couple more generations to add on, before we get too close to the present.

I did wonder if mine might connect somehow to the John Whitney of Stoke-Goldington - however, at the moment that almost 300 year gap isn't bridgeable. I have a lot of ideas on how to go further, mostly involving parish registers, but living in outback Australia makes some research quite difficult.

My most recent Whitney ancestor was my great-great-grandmother, Salome, so I don't have any contact with any male Whitney relatives, although there are many in Australia - the family took literally the urge to "go forth and multiply"! There has been a research book published on this Whitney line in Australia - is there somewhere on the site I could add this, as well? I didn't write it, but I do have a copy.

Fascinating site, I'm still finding new things.

Regards,
Fiona

== Chicheley Records ==

Yes, they are on my list of things I want to do, but when I say I live in the Australian outback, I mean outback. The nearest FHC is approximately 7 hours drive away from here. I am hoping for a trip to Sydney in the near future, and will see if I can order films in advance then, but I don't get to the city very often.

This is probably one of the worst places in the world to live for a genealogist, much as I love it for everything else!

Fiona

== Thank you ==
Thank you Tim, for the welcome and the edit on my lineage. The information that I had retrieved of my Whitney lineage, I was unassure of it, however it just seem to continue from the family trees I had seen. However I do hope to discover the parenatge of Thomas Whitney from that point. This research group has been a great help.

Blessings and Thank you,

==Patrick Whitney==
Thank you for the welcome. I was just looking at that Patrick yesterday. I'd like to find more documentation between John and Patrick if I could. It's a place to start anyway. LOL

Hi Tim,

Thank you for making the page for me, I'm lost, I messed it up, but I think I managed to resave it as it was. Not sure what I did wrong.

Anyway you make a comment about my ancestor John H., his mother being Nancy, this is right. Nancy would before/later ( forget the order) marry a man with the last name Sickles. They had a daughter Margaret Sickles who married an Anderson. I don't have my stuff in front of me, and I don't have a credit card to get back on ancestry.com to get this all straightened out again in my mind.

Having said, I feel that John H. Whitney's father was Richard.

If you look here: At the 1850 Izard county Arkansas census (Izard is a neighboring county to Independence), and close to the
Missouri line (does anyone know what the real boundries were back then? What info can one trust...)

Anyway Nancy gets from northern Arkansas to southwestern Arkansas over the next ten years.

Just remembered she married the Sickles man first, then (must be) Richard Whitney.

Anyway get back to me if you want, I am exicted about this all again!

My Email is GradyWhitney@windstream.net should you want to contact me that way.

== Help needed in sending you information ==

Hi Tim,
I'm not good at high tech, Do you have an E-Mail address that I could use to send you
a two page letter about Stephen and Ruth (Boody)Whitney descendants, namely the children
of Stephen and their locations. I also am developing a large file on Family Tree Maker
of them, and am wondering how to send it to you.

== Asa Whitney of Dutchess Co., NY ==

Hi Tim

I just went into the connection for Asa Whitney. Yes it is assumed he is the son of Ebenezer and Martha Sherwood. In the 1800 census for Litchfield, Conn Ebenezer is listed and below him is a John Sherwood. Helps to confirm maybe.

Asa's date of birth is August 14, 1804 and he died April 24, 1863. Asa was married to Julia Ann Quick ( this name comes from Sarah Jane's death certificate) b July 4, 1807 in England and died June 7, 1849. He later married Martha Bennett Wilson ( my grandmother who was married to Charles Wilson The Whiteys and the Wislon were next door neighbors.

There are 3 gravestones in the South Amenia Cemetery for Asa, Martha and Charles Wilson.

Marthann was the daughter bor May 5, 1825
Eliza was the daughter born Oct 11, 1827

Idid not see how I could make these corrections

Thank you for you help. We have lots more info on Sarah Jane including death cert.

Hi agaim Tim

The Dna testing is being done on a male descendant of Stephen Morey Whitney. They hae some of the results which leans to John and Elinor in 1635. The rest of the testing should be finished soon and then I will let you know for sure.

== Maryland John J. & Mary Turner Whitney ==

Hi Tim,

I wrote to St. Mary's Church in Hagerstown Maryland looking for the marriage record for John & Mary Turner Whitney. http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney%2C_John_J._%28c1828-b1880%29

They didn't have a record for them, but they sent me one for: Michel Whitney marriage to Mary Ellen Payne from Four Locks on 14 Oct. 1858. Witness: Patrick Ryan & John Whitney

I can scan and send the record to you if you want. One page is a typed index and the other is the actual record. If you want me to scan it to this site, you'll have to walk me through it. I'm still learning to navagate :)

== Wikipedia Books ==

Tim,

There are several questions to which I don't know the answers. For example, if you implemented this, would there be a capability to import pages from other wikis, such as Wikipedia itself, in addition to pages from the WRG wiki? If so, or even if not, this could, indeed, have some benefit for our members, in my opinion. I can envision creating a book entitled, "Our Whitney Lineage", or "Our Whitney Cousins".

Hi Tim,

I have no problem with the edits, I've yet to get the hang of it yet. Do whatever needs to be done to make it right.

Hi Tim,

I would take the test, but I have no idea what that "kit" would cost.

I take random drug tests at work. The test is oral. You keep the test surface between the cheek and gum for 3 minutes,
then insert it into a plastic vial, break off the perforated handle then cap the vial.

Call me anyway. 903-853-0609

== John Whitney ==

Hi Tim,
Would you please move John Whitney married to Adaline Mosher to the unconnected section. He is not the son of Nathaniel and Clarissa Hoar Whitney. He could be related to them but not as a son. We have not connected John at this point time. Thankyou Terr

== Nathaniel Whitney (1800-1838) ==

Tim

I have just sent a ton of family information, plus two Federal Census extracts, please delete as much as you want...the information was copied from my Coombs family data base. You said you wanted information...

Do we know anything about the Whitney's who lived in the Standish/Scarbourough/Portland area of Cumberland County, ME in the late 1700s-early 1800s? I have been trying to link my Nathaniel to this group for years with no success. I think that my Nathaniel may have been the son of the Nathaniel listed in the 1840 Federal Census living in Standish, Cumberland County, ME (page 16) as being 70 to 80 years of age and living with 1f 20-30, 1f 30-40 and 1f 60-70.

== Andrew Whitney ==
Hi Tim;

Thank you for your assistance. I admit that I don't have any other resources than Memoirs of Worcester County Vol. II. The author notes that there is no birth record found for Silas Whitney, yet the account seems pretty sure of the lineage. I'm curious what information leads you to dispute the record as given in this account--though in any case my lineage still seems to trace back to John Whitney of Watertown.

I'm happy to have my Whitney lineage confirmed. I've always been told that we were descended from the Whitneys, and that they made their fortune in Chicago manufacturing. This turns out to be Charles Andrew Whitney, and the Memoirs record was actually written as his biographical sketch. There is some census data available on Charles Andrew, and he may be worthy of his own page on this site, if there isn't one already.

I'm curious why you removed Charles Andrew's wife, Martha Waters, from my lineage--as written in the Memoirs book.

Brendan

== Andrew Whitney ==

Tim,

Thanks for the note about Crane's identification. There are several reasons why I disbelieve what is written there. First, it is one of those mug books, which are notoriously inaccurate. Secondly, the list of Silas's children is very incomplete, as is data about Silas himself, not even including his wife's maiden name or their marriage record. Thirdly, Andrew was born in 1754 (according to his age at death from the church records in Princeton), four years before the marriage of Silas and Jane in 1758.

Onomastics isn't much help here. Andrew did not name a child Silas, Jane, Andrew, or Tabitha. He did name a son Elisha Dana Whitney, and Abraham had a son Elisha who probably married Abigail Dana.

So if Andrew wasn't son of Silas, who was he? There is an otherwise unaccounted-for Andrew, son of Abraham, who was, indeed, born in 1754. Thus the connection to Abraham. Abraham's family is very interesting. The children seem to have all left home and scattered.

I hope this is convincing.

== Nathaniel Whitney 1800-1830 ==

Tim

The only source that I have for the date of marriage for Nathaniel Whitney & Charlotte Cook is that it is contained in a hand-written family genealogy chart prepared by my grandfather, Frederick A. Coombs, prior to 1904. Since Nathaniel was his grandfather, the presumption is that it came from family papers. Sorry.

During my search this past weekend, I came up with the following two pieces of Whitney information:

1. -- The Evergreen Cemetery, City of Portland, ME contains two numbered lots in Section G (#24 & 25) in the name of David Averill with the following interments:
[Name; Age; Date of Death]:
Caroline W. Coombs 83 Feb. 24, 1915;
L. Augustine Coombs 43 1871;
Charles W. Coombs 80 Jan. 24, 1940;
Charles H. Whitney 57 Sep. 16, 1885;
Hannah P. Whitney 1854;
J. Frederick Whitney 1870;
Nattie Whitney 1854;
Charlotte Whitney 1850;
Nathaniel Whitney 1838

I'm not sure who all these people are or what David Averill's connection is.

2. -- I found four small undated hand-written pages of family information written by Alonzo Cook MD of Los Angeles, Calif:

"Sally Whitney mother of Charlotte Cook was a daughter of a Gary, who was sister of Ellbridge Gary, signer of Declaration of In, Vice Pres. when he died. This sister was m. in Marblehead to Grandpa Whitney a merchant of that place. He failed in business but was a very proud man so took his family & 2 slaves & moved to the wilds of Casco Maine and they 2 children -- our grandmother (Rosa's) and one more little girl we children called her big Aunt Jane.

== Thanks for the greeting ==

Thanks for the greeting. So I'll do the data entry but slowly. Today I'm augmenting my John Smith Whitney family group with your information. Had quite an eventful day yesterday with the descendants of George Washington Whitney. Because one grandchild was named Rinaldo I was able to string together some events that read like a plot proposal for a soap opera. I posted the story on my Ancestry.com entry.

What do you make of this record Tim?

It's the only record I find of Whitney's with Moriss'es... This Richard Whitney surely must fit in the Wade Whitney connection somehow...

== Thanks for the welcome ==

Tim, thanks very much for the welcome and for adding in the links to my Whitney lineage. I admit I haven't researched them as extensively as other branches in my family, but am now motivated to do more in hopes of contributing back to this resource. Best,
Sara.

I have created 4 or 5 pages now the first of which have shown up as links in my ancestral line. I'm proud to be able to contribute. I notice that many older pages have each fact documented in footnotes. I would be glad to do that for my pages but don't know how. Do you have instructions for that and a style sheet for various types of entries?
Also, I'm guessing you add the census data that appears at the bottom of some pages. If not, how would I add that?
About to start on John Franklin Whitney after I get a bit of breakfast.

== thankyou and see below ==

Did you receive my message about dna for your families and robert L Whitney?
Terry

== Elijah Whitneys ==

Tim,

Your connection of the two Elijah Whitney family groups makes a lot of sense. Of course, if there is confusion in Phoenix, it is because his informants provided that information, and they were living many years after the events in question. Actually, it is surprising to me that we haven't found more inaccuracies in what is presented there. Compare to Pierce's accuracy record!

I would suggest going ahead with the merging of the two pages, with appropriate discussion in a Notes section.

Now that creates another issue: Hannah (Whitney)(Bass) Whitney now is a person a generation older than we previously thought. Can we tentatively identify her and/or her Bass husband with that new age information?

== Elijah Whitneys, pt. 2 ==

Tim,

See [[Family:Whitney, Elijah (1710-b1741)]] for Rebecca (Seymour)(Whitney) Boughton. I suggest that the Seth whose administration was granted in 1760 was another child of this couple, who died unmarried and without issue, and after whom the younger Seth was named. That would make Seth's administrator his brother, an entirely reasonable situation.

== Change of name, Reuben to Stephen Whitney ==

Because of the latest information of Ruth Boody as wife of Stephen Whitney as found in the "Early families of Limington, Maine" and the incomplete findings of Mrs Frank S. Healey )Eleanor Katherine Whitney, Filed in the Detroit Society of Genealogical Research, a descendant of Remington Hobby Whitney and his first wife Eliza Weaver, daughter of Daniel Wing and Amy (Underhill) Weaver. It is my belief, that Stephen and wife Ruth Boody are the parents of
Crosby Whitney, Remington Hobby Whitney, Robert B. Whitney, Nathan W. Whitney, Peter Whitney, above born in Maine,
Jane Whitney,b in Conn. Henry Whitney b unk. , Mary Whitney b. New York, Sally Ann Whitney b. New York.
From the book "Early Families of Limington, Maine" by Robert L. Taylor under the name of
Boody Rev. Robert then child viii is Ruth b. 13 June 1779 at New Durham, NH and married 26 Jan 1800 to Stephen Whitney both of Limington " They moved to Painted Post, Stuben Co., New York.
Painted Post is 40 miles south of my to be 3rd great grandmother, Mary Carman. Mary Carman is also related to Amy Underhill, Mary Carman marries Crosby Whitney abt. 1821. Remington Hobby Whitney is found in 1830 Census at Sodius, Wayne Co., New York.
I believe that the printing of Hardin Co., Iowa History book printed 1911 has many mistakes
and that when my 2nd great grandfather George Whitney b. 12 Sept 1822 in New York, told his story, there was a clerical error, when the name was listed as Reuben and Ruth it should have been Stephen . This stands to reason as others beside myself have never been able to find a Reuben in or from Maine that fit the time factors.

== Change of (DNA) #37765 of Reuben to Stephen Whitney ==

Because of recent findings I am asking you to change my family line to
living, Earl E., Herman G., Crosby, George, Crosby, Stephen, Phineas, Isaac, Nathaniel, Benjamin, John, Thomas Whitney.

For those interested in Remington Whitney: He is Remington Hobby Whitney b. 26 Dec 1801 Maine.
Died 29 Jun 1890 at Burr Oak, Saint Joseph, Michigan.
He was married twice: first marriage was to Eliza Weaver, parents being Daniel Wing and Amy (Underhill) Weaver. They married about 1830 and Eliza died three days after giving birth to Daniel Wing Whitney b. 28 Apr 1834 near Avon, Livingston, New York. Amy Underhill b. abt 1784 prob. Duthchess Co., NY listed #1117 in "The Underhill Genealogy" died 26 Jan 1853 Burr Oak, St. Joseph, Michigan. Amy is my 3rd great aunt. Amy was a member of the Society of Friends (Quakers)
and records show her travel from the area of Dutchess Co. and ending in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Remington married secondly (1835): Rhoda Content Chapman b. 31 Mar 1817 Perry Twp., Genesee, NY. died 23 Mar 1901 in Quincy, Branch, Michigan. Remington and Rhoda Whitney had the following children Warren b. Nov 1842, Crosby C. b. 12 Jul 1843 at Burr Oak, St. Joe., MI, Louisa, Julia b. 8 Dec 1848, Marion A. b. Feb 1851 and Edwin George Whitney b. abt 1853.
My family has many using the name Crosby, the two most confused are Crosby b. abt 1803, and Crosby b. 16 Oct 1846 then the son of Remington is Crosby C. b. 12 Jul 1843.. You can see in the
1870 Federal Census of Iowa that the two Crosby's lived in seperate counties but have the same Post Office of Union, Hardin, Iowa.

Hi Whitney Keene,
I would like to call your attention to new evidence being found at the Detroit Society for Genealogical Research: of the children of Stephen and Ruth (Brody) Whitney, namely: Nathan,
Benjamin,Crosby,Remington Hobby, Peter, Jane, Mary, Sally Ann. The WRG records show Peter b.
12 Nov 1811 in Maine as a son of Stephen and Ruth. I have of recent, sent my speculation, to
Tim Doyle about this family for his observing. The DNA marker test for David Alan Whitney
#136195 is being updated from 12 to 37, results by late May this is a descendant of Remington
Hobby Whitney. The Crosby in the above family is most likely my 3rd great grandfather Crosby b.
1803. My DNA #37765 shows to be Eleazer3, Thomas2, John1 while the above Stephen Whitney records show Nathaniel3, Benjamin2, John1. Thank You for your good work,

== Census Progress ==

Tim:

I have finished extracting the censuses from 1790 through 1820. Heritage Quest Online doesn't yet have 1830 through 1850, nor 1930, on-line. I am '''not''' planning on starting 1860 through 1920, which they do have on-line, although I am willing to look up individual items.

I think I'll try to analyze the ones I've posted, creating links to and from family group records where they exist. Perhaps I'll create some family group records for families in the census which I can't identify.

The link is to Nathaniel Whitney's page for Nathaniel's unmarried son Amos, who doesn't have a page of his own.

== 1790 Census Images ==

Tim:

I am noticing that even the 1790 census images I am reading have confused Whitney with Whiting in several places. The handwriting in the images is clearly Whitney, but the individuals are surely Whiting men. For an example, consider "John Lake Whitney", Shrewsbury, MA, page 544. The image is crystal clear, and the reading is unmistakable. I can't find anyone by that name, but there was definitely a John Lake Whiting in the Shrewsbury VRs, who m. 27 Aug 1782, Olive Wyman, and recorded two children there.

I can only conclude that the pages of which we are seeing images are copies of some originals, now lost, and that the unknown copyists made the errors. The fact that some townships have their entries alphabetized by last name initial supports the hypothesis of a copying (and rearranging) at some point. I confess that I was not aware of this.

Additionally, there could be indexing errors. I found one example where the index showed Whittne, one of our variant spellings, but the image showed Whitten, a different family. There were other kinds of errors, too.

This means that even the images we are using are not primary sources. That has some unfortunate consequences. One is that we may have to go through the indices and images again for the Whiting surname, looking for stray Whitney individuals! Sorting them out from the real Whitings is a task I wouldn't look forward to! It could involve compiling a family tree of the three Whiting families (descendants of Samuel, Nathaniel, and William Whiting, immigrants) down to 1790. This is not to mention the Whiton or Whitten families.

I know you have encountered the same phenomenon with one of your own Whitney ancestors, listed in the census as Whiting.

== 1790 Heads ==

Tim:

Thanks for creating the list you did. It should be very helpful, however, it must be incomplete, because the Henry descendants have only been carried down to the fifth generation. There will be some sixth generation ones who would qualify but don't yet have family group records. I have already had to create such a page for [[Family:Whitney, Sherwood (1767-1848)|Sherwood6 Whitney]] to accommodate one census entry from Vermont, no doubt there will be more from New York, and I may have missed some from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont.

I could go through the sixth generation from Phoenix and create pages I think would qualify, and then add them to your list. Probably I should do that next before continuing with the 1790 links.

If you'd like to check off the ones on your list we have identified, that would be good. You could add the place we found them, with a link to the appropriate 1790/91 census extract. I think this would be a great addition to our suite of census pages, with similar ones for each census year. For the time being, I don't see doing more that just 1790/91, but certainly we would want to have a similar thing for 1800 through 1820, at least. With Heritage Quest Online, I can do searches for those years by first name only, which could turn up some missing folks hiding under Whiting or other (mis-)spellings.

What do you think about creating a Research: namespace for this and other pages we are using for that kind of purpose?

By the way, do you have any idea who [[Family:Whitney, Joshua (c1746-1816)]] could be? All of the Joshua Whitney men I have born in the 1740s seem to be otherwise accounted for. Do we have any DNA evidence from descendants of Calvin or Haynes to point us anywhere?

Agreed that the Localities page should be as you suggest. That makes a good deal of work making sure that all pages are properly categorized, but worth it in the long run.

== Census Volunteers ==

Tim:

I see that we have a new volunteer to help with census work, Carol Whitney Cook. I'll be glad to ask her if she has access to Ancestry.com, to make the new indexes and extractions from the 1830, 1840, and 1850 censuses, with your approval. Somehow we should split that work up between her and Andaleen Whitney. If you prefer, you can organize the two of them and yourself to do that. I'm plenty busy identifying the census entries with family groups, and then reformatting the family group pages encountered in the process.

== Locality Categories ==

Tim:

It sounds like you're doing a good thing. I approve. I hope that, when you find a misspelling, you either manually correct it on the appropriate page(s), or set the robot to do that, too. Also be on the look-out for erroneous county assignments. It could be, for example, that Charlestown would be listed under both Suffolk and Middlesex Counties, MA, when only Middlesex is correct.

== Killlingly 1790 Census ==

Tim:

If you give me the page number, I can look at Heritage Quest Online to see if they have the image of that page for Cornelius Whiting. FamilySearch.org lists only one Cornelius Whiting, of Wrentham, MA, who died as an infant, and the birth of the Cornelius Whitney in question, erroneously listed under Whiting:<div id="Plaintext90">
CORNEULIUS WHITING
Male

Event(s):
Birth: 05 JUL 1749 Killingly Twp, Windham, Connecticut
Christening:
Death:
Burial:

Parents:
Father: MATETHYAS WHITING
Mother: ALLIS
</div>I conclude that any records for a Cornelius Whiting at this time period, and especially in this place, must refer to this Cornelius Whitney instead.

I am still learning how to use the wiki so may not have replied to your message about someone of Joshua's lineage contributing. I have since then completed a DNA test and the results are posted.

I also have some information about my lineage beyond what is in Pierce. How do I post it on the appropriate page?

== MA Tax Lists ==

Tim:

Those look very interesting. It would be even better if the microfilms were available locally, and/or were indexed. They could answer some of our questions about when heads of households died or moved from one location to another. They could be especially valuable for Maine, where many vital records are missing.

- [[User:Rlward|Robert]] - [[User_talk:Rlward|Talk to me]] 12:24, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

== Potentials for 1800 ==

Tim:

I used TMG to create a list of possible heads of household for 1800 from my databases. I found a much longer list than the one on the web page. Most of them would be under the category "Probably dead". Many of them would also be on a similar list for 1790. As you have no doubt noticed, I have been creating family group records for some families that didn't already have one. My new list includes those and quite a few others. Obviously, I have a lot of work to do! Do you want me to add names to the web page for potentials in 1790/1800, and create their pages, even if they are probably dead?

- [[User:Rlward|Robert L. Ward]] - [[User_talk:Rlward|Talk to me]] 21:05, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

I have added to the web page the names beginning with A from my list. You see that there are several, and may extrapolate to the other letters of the alphabet.

== Census Identification Project ==

Tim:

Yes, it's worthwhile. If nothing else, we are finding and correcting lots of errors in the indexes and in the "original" images which might baffle other researchers. It might be hard for someone to find Darling Whitney hiding among the Whiteman entries, Elnathan Whitney filed under Elenor, or Isaiah listed as Israel.

We are also tracing migrations of families from place to place. On this point, the more years we do this for, the more benefits to the web site and the users of it.

How shall we get transcriptions of the 1830 census?

== 1771 Tax List ==

Tim:

I found on-line [http://www.memorialhall.mass.edu/collection/itempage.jsp?itemid=5849 the preface] to ''The Massachusetts Tax Valuation List of 1771''. Among other things, it reveals that roughly half of the list is lost. Apparently Watertown was among the lost part. Obviously any people who "should" appear and don't may have been on other parts no longer extant.

I tried hard to capture alternate spellings of the surname, except I didn't mess with the Whitings. This was a computer typeface, so I didn't have to read the handwriting, but the transcribers did. Furthermore, if the "originals" were actually copies, as we found with the census, there is a further chance for error.

I was gratified to find my Gershom4 Whitney in Ware, MA, and learned much about his household. His father Joshua3 must have died just before the list was made, but his widow doesn't appear. Apparently he disposed of his estate earlier, and she was living with relatives, possibly Gershom himself.

== Doctor John ==

Tim:

It is obvious that [[Family:Whitney, John (1716-a1757)|Dr. John4 Whitney]] moved around a lot. All is as I believe to be correct, with the exception of his son Nathaniel5. See [[Archive:NEHGR, Volume 79]] for him. The date of marriage and the dates of birth and baptism of the other children make it hard to place him among them. I suppose it's possible that Dr. John either had two wives at the same time, one in Eastham and one in Nantucket/York, or else he fathered a child out of wedlock by Margaret, and then married her later. Another possibility is that Seth, of whom we have no further record beyond his birth, was renamed Nathaniel. Another possibility is that the guardianship record is faulty, and got the name of the younger son wrong.

I don't know how to reconcile the records. I tried to fit Nathaniel in in 1744, but that's obviously a problem.

== 1771 Tax List, II ==

Tim:

Good job on the tax list! I did try to identify the missing 1771 men:

* "Two men named Charles." Got them.
* "Three men named John." Got the one in Gorham, ME. The two nonresidents could be anyone from, say, Watertown. I actually have five different candidates for these two, and no way to tell which they might be.
* "Three men named Moses. Note that the Moses in Gorham could be either of two men." Got the one in New Salem. The one in Gorham I believe I have right. The other was probably in Falmouth in 1771. The Chesterfield man seems to be young, but I can't place him, although I have a few candidates.
* "Three men named Samuel." Got them.
* "Two individuals with no name (-----)." I really can't figure out how to identify these. Probably there's a better chance with the widow from Boston, but still not good.

As for me, I have finished the 1800 Census Potential Heads list, and am also faced with many unidentified entries in that census. I am still working on them, but there will be quite a few that I won't know.

== Page Moves ==

Tim:

Your idea of using a bot to do this kind of work is excellent. Recall that sometimes more than one link to the same page can be found on one page, so your bot should take that into account.

- [[User:Rlward|Robert]] - [[User_talk:Rlward|Talk to me]] 09:07, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

It should also remove the line from the renamed page which calls the rename template.

== Jabez Whitney of Orange ==

Tim:

My guess is that the "Ly" Whitney from the Jones Cemetery is a reading of "[SAL]LY" Whitney on a broken or eroded gravestone. That doesn't explain the census records, but there are many alternative explanations of those.

- [[User:Rlward|Robert]] - [[User_talk:Rlward|Talk to me]] 10:34, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

== Sally versus Ly ==

Tim:

The fact that the town record of death and the cemetery record from her stone differ by exactly 1 year and 1 day makes me believe that the two refer to the same event, with recording variations. I oppose splitting the two. You could add a section under "Notes" explaining the alternate theories. I would not oppose that.

== Pierce Conversion Project ==

Tim:

I see that there are two files with that as part of the title which have a huge number of links each. I have had to patrol many edits made on them by the Rename Bot, to no apparent benefit. Since the project is over, and the only other pages that link to this group are your and my User_talk pages, it seems we could delete them. Alternatively, we could edit them severely, cutting down drastically on the links to Family pages. Thoughts?

== Hello Cousin ==

So far I have been able to trace my Whitney lineage to Zachariah, but not sure how he ties in exactly to John Whitney. I don't have a lot of information on my Whitney side as of yet, although I am sure I'll find more. I've been doing my family tree for almost a year now and still on the Gove side...which is on my mother's father's side. Have done almost nothing on my father's side, or my mother's mother's side of the family yet! It's quite a long, exhaustive, but utterly fascinating and fun process! I'm hoping to learn all I can. Rick

Very cool....I just noticed that about the same time that your second message came in. That is so very fascinating! Every time I find out something new I get even more excited. Thanks for pointing it out to me!

== Descendant List ==

Tim:

The idea is interesting, but I foresee a problem. On what pages would you put (for example) your name? You put it only on Erastus's page, but you could have put it on all the pages for your direct ancestors.

If you did that, John1 Whitney's page would have a very long list. That would be bad, in my opinion.

If you didn't do that, you'd have to make an executive decision on which pages to put your name and which not. I don't think that that's something a bot could do, so a person would have to be involved in every such decision. That makes the work prohibitive.

== Samuel of Woodbury ==

Tim:

[[Archive:The Whitney Family of Connecticut, page 84#279|Phoenix, p. 84]], places Samuel Whitney of Woodbury, who m. Sarah -----, as a child of Elijah and Rebecca (Seymour) Whitney, and a descendant of Henry1. [[Archive:Some More Descendants of John and Elinor Whitney|Sandiford]] places him as a child of Enoch and Thankful (Parke) Whitney, and a descendant of John1. I have no information which corroborates or contradicts either theory. How should we handle this?

Hi Tim - I've changed my state to Ohio. Glad I got the message as I'm on my way to the library, WVU has ancestry.library edition, I'm going to use that to generate my list and will then use Heritage Quest to retrieve info. You can zap Iowa. Thanks much.

== Disambiguation Pages ==

Tim:

I notice on Wikipedia they make use of "disambiguation pages", especially for various people with the same name. That could be a good idea for us, I think, because we have so many groups of people with the same name. Suppose I'm looking for a Samuel Whitney, but I don't know his birth and death years. If I could go to a disambiguation page named "Samuel Whitney", and there find a list of all the ones we know, with links to the appropriate family group records, this could be very useful. Each entry on that page could give a little more information on the individual to help the selection process. We could cross-reference nicknames, e.g., the page for "Mary Whitney" could say "See also Molly Whitney and Polly Whitney," and vice versa. Thoughts?

- [[User:Rlward|Robert]] - [[User_talk:Rlward|Talk to me]] 08:19, 15 September 2007 (CDT)

== Children Without Their Own Pages ==

Tim:

It seems to me, that if you can generate the disambiguation pages automatically, you could also program a bot to do the following:

# Go through the whole Family: namespace, picking out pages of Whitney males.
# On each page, look for a table immediately following a line beginning with "Child of " or "Children of ".
# Collect the names of children from the table, ignoring those whose names are links.
# Collect the name of the child and the name of the page on which it appears.
# Create a line of the form <nowiki>"* Whitney, XXXXX, child of [[Family:Whitney, XXXXX (XXXX-XXXX)|Whitney, XXXXX (XXXX-XXXX)]]"</nowiki>.
# Sort the list by given name, then by birth year of the father.
# Append the names to the disambiguation pages.

Perhaps you don't want to do this. Perhaps some variant of the above would be better.

Thoughts?

== Two Asa Whitneys ==

Tim:

I have been trying to place the Asa Whitney who appears in the 1800 Census at Lisle, Tioga Co., NY. His age is over 45, so he must have been born before 1755. There are three such persons of which I am aware who are reasonable candidates, all of the fifth generation from John1:
# [[Family:Whitney, Asa (1743-1803)]]
# [[Family:Whitney, Asa (1745-a1810)]]
# Asa, son of [[Family:Whitney, Enoch (s1708-a1756)|Enoch Whitney]], b. 10 Jul 1742, Preston, CT.
I concur with the identification of the first. It is the second who I believe is confused with the third.

Number 2 was born in Killingly, and we find him in the censuses of 1790, 1800, and 1810 in Killingly. The fact that his children were allegedly born in Cornwall seems anomalous. I think Number 2 remained in Killingly, married, and had children born there, but not recorded.

Number 3 was born in Preston, but when he was young, his father moved to Kent. His brothers lived in Washington and Warren, CT. All these places are in Litchfield Co., as is Cornwall. I think it was Number 3 who married Abigail Brownson and had the two children in Cornwall.

Furthermore, it must have been Number 3 who appears in Lisle in 1800, since Number 2 and Number 1 are both accounted for.

Do you concur?

== Pierce Errors Continuing ==

Tim:

I add to the Pierce Errors page whenever I find an error that I can document. Of the two confused Asa Whitney individuals, Enoch's son was completely missed by Pierce. Matthias's son already has a correction attached to his name, but I need to fix that since it really applies to Enoch's son.

I was aware of my former e-mail message, which applies, but is not helpful in straightening out the lineages. Thanks for mentioning it, however. I also found on-line a [http://history.rays-place.com//ny/triangle-ny.htm history of Triangle, NY], which says that Asa Whitney was one of the early settlers there. This must be the one in Lisle in 1800. He's there in 1820, but I can't find him in 1810. It may be that Lisle is missing from the 1810 schedules, since I can't find anyone in that Town.

On checking for this possibility, I found the following book: [http://persi.heritagequestonline.com/hqoweb/library/help/censusbook/Section%201.pdf ''The Census Book'', by William Dollarhide]. It explains about the copying, recopying, and loss of various census record groups. I found it enlightening.

By the way, this is an example of something we discovered because of the Census Identification Project.

== Josiah Corrections? ==

Tim:

I was looking at the [[Archive:Lancaster, Massachusetts, Vital Records#Marriages|Lancaster Vital Records]], and found the marriage of Elisabeth Whetney and [[Family:Whitney, Josiah (1698-1748)|Josiah Whetney]] on 24 Apr 1733. Very soon thereafter, I visited the page of [[Family:Whitney, Isaiah (1700-1737)|Isaiah Whitney]], and saw that he married one Elizabeth Whitney "about 1733", and had first child born 23 Jan 1733/4, almost exactly nine months later.

Is there any reason to doubt that the marriage record is in error, and the groom wasn't Josiah, but Isaiah?

There is also a problem with Josiah Whitney "late of Dedham" marrying Elizabeth Grant. It seems that this is another error, this time in the Weston vital records. The groom was actually Josiah3 ''Whiting'', born 30 May 1701, Dedham, MA, son of Samuel2 and Sarah (Metcalf) Whiting [Nathaniel1]. They had seven children recorded in Weston, including two recorded as "Whitney" and five as "Whiting".

Do you agree, and should I go ahead with making appropriate changes?

I can't identify any of the Whitneys you list in Dublin. The only Bascom Whitney I know of was only 11 years old at the time of this warning-out. It could be an otherwise unknown uncle of him, but otherwise I'm clueless.

Are you going to add the extracts from the history book to our Extracts?

Yes, Isaac of Stamford could well be who you suggest, but I have nothing to add to the discussion.

my Dad who is 93 in Oct. submitted his DNA to a group that has a data pool. The results : we are related to the John & Elenor Whitney from Mass. It still leaves about 100 years to get to them........our broken link is Ky.

I phoned Patricia Whitney Gravois today in the hope that she has the missing marraige certificate information for William Whitney and Sara Compton, but from what I understand William's parents weren't listed anyway.

If I were to take the time to put all of the South Lousiana Records by Father Hebert, as well as the family information that I have "from family", would you like me to send it to you? That way you can enter it into this website much more quickly, and much more professionally than I. If no, no biggie, I'll get around to doing it in an effort to lend a hand to others, but I feel fairly certain you'll be traipsing along behind me, cleaning up my messes.

Thank you for assisting in the creation of this site. While it didn't help me, as others apparently haven't gotten past the same brick wall, it certainly "will" help when, if ever, we figure out that missing century.

How do you go in and add to the 1830 Census Indexes? I have added data, but is there a template to make the data look uniform? Thanks.

Tara

== "Missing" Templates ==

Tim:

I think your templates such as "Missing1790" could all be combined into a one template called, say, "Missing", and make it such that you pass the year YYYY as a parameter, and it creates the string
: "* YYYY: not found."
Then you would just call <nowiki>{{Missing|1790}}</nowiki> for example.

I had to smile. The page you directed me to with '''William John''' & '''Sarah Ellen''' (Yazel) '''Whitney'''. Yep. I've seen it many many times. William went by the name John and they were my GG Grandparents and my Grandmother was a Whitney. The web site is my own :) Thanks for the try though. I appreciate that people are checking it out and hopefully gaining some insight to their own research. I spend a large percentage of my time in census records and that was one of the reasons i dropped by here today.
Thanks again. and Happy Hunting.

== Martha/Matilda ==

Tim,

Jeanne and I have been discussing this issue. All census records that we are able to find show Matilda to be Martha. We have not been able to locate Martha Red, but it may be possible that Martha Red and Martha Buckhalter are the same Martha. I am still working on it. I will re-check the sources and let you know. Thank you for reminding me to check on it.

Tara_767

== Martha/Matilda ==

Tim,

I have checked census records with Wyley Buckhalter, note spelling, of Barnwell 1850 and she is listed as Martha. They do have a daughter named Matilda and it is very likely that the census taker could have been confused and noted her as Martha instead of Matilda. It could also be possible that both Marthas exist and one is the daughter of Macon and the other may be the daughter of Malcolm. At this point I will really need to check other documentation to be sure. Thanks.

Tim:

I can't identify him. The vital records of Boston 1810-1840 are no longer extant, which makes it difficult, and he's not in Pierce, nor in FamilySearch.org. My best guess is that, since his second son was named Henry, he might be one of the three sons under 10 of Henry Whitney in the 1820 Census of Boston, 9th ward. Of course, I don't know who that Henry was, either!

Hi Tim:

I'm new to this Whitney clan and just signed on. I have a question about DNA testing as there appear to be many different firms performing this...

I have been working a bit with the organizer of this page: http://www.foskett-genealogy.co.uk/ and she arranged for my Foskett cousin to submit DNA to dnaheritage.com

I'm wondering if you have surveyed the various companies. Who are the leaders. If dnaheritage is a bit player I suspect it's possible that DNA submitted with one firm might not match up with dna that appears in a larger firm's database.

Thanks.

Hi Tim - Looked at some of the 1830 census project states that have been completed, I see there is some inconsistency. I am making mine three lines long, because I have found some variations in the names, I am using the second line to clarify those differences. I see someone numbered the Kentucky folks and there is a header in one of the states I did. Because I am doing my lists in a word document and then copying to WRG I can make changes, if necessary, to previous records. I just posted New Hampshire, would you mind taking a peek to see if it looks okay? Thanks much.

== Total Whitneys ==

Tim:

One should be able to combine the data from [[How many Whitneys?]] with fertility and life expectancy data, and come up with a figure for total number of Whitneys in a given window of time (say 1600-1900). I don't know where to obtain such data. I call to your attention to this interesting web site: [http://www.math.hawaii.edu/~ramsey/People.html How many people have ever lived? Keyfitz's calculation updated]. The assumptions there are quite wrong, partly because life spans have increased during the time frame in question, but such a technique could be the start of such an investigation.

I think the access issue had to do with trying to patrol the changes you made to [[User:Tdoyle/Sandbox18]]. Attempting to do that seems to have hung my browser, due to its large size.

Thank you very much. This is incredibly helpful. I printed everything up so I can enjoy it at home tonight after work. (I don't have a computer at home). My ancestors are definitely Henry and Fanny Miller Whitney and Charles Whitney and Malvina Orr. I have information from the Whitney Bible at home and they are all mentioned in it. Do you think anyone would be interested in knowing about our line from Ada Whitney to present? I have a lot of that information. Thanks again for your help. Everything about these people--who they were and what they did is fascinating to me. Liz

That would be fine. I can bring my information to work next week and transcribe it. I am not very computer literate. Is there a special format or is it ok to just send it to you via this route? I also got to meet my mom's cousin, Ralph Whitney in September and he sent me additional information about the descendants of Dora Wurst Whitney and and Ora Ralph Whitney. Thanks again! Liz

== Census Index ==

Tim:

There are two ways to organize the census pages: by year, and by location. We could actually do both.
* On the main page, list the years, with links to year pages, and the locations, with links to location pages.
* On each year page, list the locations for that year (and the potential heads, where appropriate), with links. There should be links to the next and the previous years.
* On each location page, list the years for that location, with links. There could be links to neighboring locations.
* Have a page for each year and each location, with links to the index and the extracts. There could be links to next and previous years for that location, and neighboring locations for that year.
* As now, the index pages are linked to the extract pages, the extract pages to the family group records and vice versa.

Thoughts?

We could get rid of the grid, or we could keep it if you like it. If we kept it, each grid entry should be a link not to the census index page, but to the location/year page.

Hepzibah Moore was said to have settled in New York (see [[Family:Whitney, James (1755-1800)]]), but I haven't been able to pinpoint his location there.

I've attempted to merge Family Group Page Format Standards into [[Family Group Record Format]]. Please review my attempt carefully, and make any changes you think appropriate. When you are satisfied, please delete the former, redirecting links from it to the latter.

Thanks for your info and speedy reply. I'm new at this so I hope my page looks OK.

What do you think of making a page listing stray Whitney individuals whom we cannot connect to any others? That would make unnecessary a lot of pages without much information on them. Each entry could link to the source of the data. This would serve a similar function to our currently existing Most Wanted Whitneys pages. There are quite a few among the medieval Whitney families, but even more in the Massachusetts town vital records, and also in the 1800 and 1810 censuses. Thoughts?

== Re: Joseph Whitney and George Washington Whitney ==

Tim,

I maintain a tree on Ancestry (named FIELD) which includes the Whitney line, etc. My grandfather, Charles Whitney, back in the '80s before he passed away, took some time to chart out both his paternal (Whitney) and maternal (Barton) lines. He did a good job, but with the luxury of the Internet, I believe I've been able to fill in his research a bit.

His chart shows Joseph Whitney (son of Caleb Whitney and Annes Church) the father of George Washington Whitney with a christianing date of 1813 in Utica, NY. He shows Joseph having been born 7/6/1760 in Sterling, MA and passing away, 9/24/1840 in Hubbardston, MA, of cancer. He shows Joseph having been married to an Esther Crittendon of CT, whose father is listed as the Revolutionary soldier, Gideon Crittendon, with mother having been Esther Cone.

In my research (and I'm open to making changes if necessary) I have found, on this site I believe, Joseph b. 7/9/1760 in Harvard, MA. His death date, according to Hubbardston VR, is 9/24/1840, of cancer. I've located an 1830 census of Hubbardston, Worcester, MA, listing a Joseph Whitney, age between 60 and 70. He resides near the Greenwood family. In the 1840 census of Hubbardston I find a J. W. Whitney, over 70 then, living with a male listed as between 30 and 40 (maybe George W.). Again, he resides next to the Greenwood family.

By 1850, there's no Joseph or J. W. Whitney in Hubbardston, but there appears his son, George W. I have a Land Ownership Map in my Ancestry online collection which shows George Whitney in Hubbardston, MA. Interestingly enough, he's living next to a Mrs. Greenwood.

Recently I had the Worcester County library find George W. Whitney's death record. The record indicates a date of death of 2/28/1882 in Phillipston, MA, which corresponds to his last known place of residence according to the 1880 census. His age is given as 78. His parents, in the record, are listed as a Joseph and an Esther (apparently no maiden name is given).

I'm continuing my research on this. I'm not certain that Crittendon (alternatives including Crittenden and Cruttenden) was Esther's maiden name. I'm trying to track down George W's siblings, if any, and wonder whether or not an Artemesia (or Artemecia) living in the Templeton/Hubbardston area, with an Esther at one point, also b. in NY is George W's sister.

George W. married a Maria Tenney around 1860. The Tenney maternal line, according to Ancestry and so far not in conflict with my findings, actually is a closer relation to Eli Whitney, of cotton gin fame, than from my Whitney paternal line.

Hope this helps with the good research that's being done on the WRG.

== Plantagenet Ancestry Edits ==

Tim:

While I don't have the original to compare, I believe all the changes I made were of a typographical nature, and so just correcting Adrian's transcription. I am least confident about changing TRUSSEL to TRUSSELL in two places (but that seems innocuous) and changing Gocg to Goch. The latter is a valid Welsh word, but the former is nonsense, and g and h are contiguous on the keyboard. You can google them both to see my point. If this still bothers you, I suggest you get Adrian to check the original.

== Four Mystery Whitney Girls of Charlestown ==

Tim:

I have a theory about four otherwise unidentified Whitney girls whose marriage intentions are recorded in Charlestown, MA:
* Mr. Evans Anderson & Miss Mary Ann Whitney, both of Charlestown, entered Mar. 3, 1832.
* Mr. Thomas Hart [meaning Mr.Thomas Hartwell added above and in margin] of Shirley & Miss Eunice Whitney of Charlestown, entered May 25, 1833.
* Mr. William Hurd & Miss Sopeia Whitney, both of Charlestown, entered Dec. 12, 1835.
* Mr. Joseph W. Pennel of Malden & Miss Emily Whitney of Charlestown, entered Apr. 1, 1836.

Compare that with the following from the IGI, Batch No. 7450276, Film No. 0027730, Danville, Caledonia Co., VT:
* Whitney, Eunice, dau. Solomon and Margery, b. 1 Apr 1809.
* Whitney, Mary Ann, dau. Solomon and Margery, b. 4 Oct 1812.
* Whitney, Emily, dau. Solomon and Margery, b. 28 Mar 1816.
* Whitney, Sophia, dau. Solomon and Margery, b. 23 May 1818.

Then I found the 1850 census record of Evans Anderson and wife Mary A., in Concord, NH, and it says that she was aged 37, born in Vermont!

Now one problem is that these four girls born in Vermont had to somehow get from Danville, VT, to Charlestown, MA. The IGI (not the reliable part) says that Solomon7 Whitney, son of [[Family:Whitney, Silas (1737-1813)|Silas6 and Jane (Pearson) Whitney]], was born in Rutland, Rutland Co., VT, and married Margery -----. I notice that Solomon allegedly died in Stoneham, MA, adjacent to Charlestown, after 1860.

The 1850 Census of Charlestown includes Solomon Whitney, aged 72, born in Vermont, living in the family of Joseph Pennell and wife Emiline (aged 35, born in Vermont)!

Do you concur with this analysis? What do you think of creating a page for Solomon7 Whitney with these identifications?

== Genealogy Questions ==

Hi,

My name is Esther and I am new to this group and process. I read your page and have read many old archives about you and Robert Ward. I have figured out that it seems that the two of you are who headed up this entire project and I want to say that that is wonderful, and thank you. Thank you so much, it has helped a lot.

I have copied and pasted a letter I just wrote to Robert L. Ward and would love if you or he or any one else would be willing to help me and my family with the following. Thanks, in advance!

Letter to Robert Ward:

My name is Esther Smith. I am related to the Whitney line through Betsey WHITNEY. I have done my genealogy with my fathers help. We have gotten quite far in many lines and finding your Whitney research website has been wonderful!

I found it back when you were still developing it, but at that point was just going to college and falling in love and getting married and all those things, so I didn't take much time out then for genealogy, aside from a genealogy class I took at BYU-Hawaii in 2000.

I am 27 years old and come from a family of 9 children. My father loves genealogy. He used to do all his genealogy by hand on yellow ledger pages and stuff before we ever had a computer (as a family). He got me involved in helping him on genealogy back when I was 5 years old. All of my sibblings help do the genealogy too.

Are genealogy is getting huge and we need to find a way to combine all the various GEDCOM files together. Everytime any of us tries to our computer fries and we loose everything. And I have a pretty extensive computer that I do Web and Graphic design through.

I know that this is getting long and you are wondering where I am going with it. It is just that I have read over old archives and such on here back from 1999 and forward and many of them have said that you and Tim Doyle are the ones who made all of this possible and the ones who "Know your stuff". So, I am contacting you for two reasons.

#1. I am at a dead end on Betsey Whitney's first husband Aaron Davis, who I believe I am related through, and Susannah GERRY.

#2. I am wondering if my father and I might be able to put our heads together with you and/or Tim Doyle and make another one of these web projects for other Surnames aside from just the Whitney side.

Just to give you a genealogical idea of who I am down from Betsey Whitney, here you go:

Israel WHITNEY + Susannah GERRY

Betsey WHITNEY + Aaron DAVIS

Narcisi HAZEN (aka. Nelson DAVIS) + Appoline (Pauline) CHAMPEAU

Apoline (Pauline) HAZEN + Louis LAMIRANDE

Agnes Marie LAMIRANDE + Fredrick Rapheal PARMENTIER

Phyllis May PARMENTIER + Kenneth William VERHAGEN

Paul Kenneth VERHAGEN + Merrily HILL

Esther Michelle VERHAGEN (Smith) ***Me***

I have an e-mail that I can send as an attachment or copy and paste, if you are interested on all the current information we have regarding Aaron Davis and what we are still seeking on him.

I would truly appreciate if you could help us in either or both areas! If you are unable to do so however, please direct me to whom I should contact and how.

Please e-mail me at essieshell24@yahoo.com

Thank you so much in advance!

== Census project ==

Tim - It appears the census project is humming right along. I have to make one final trip to the library to double check ancestry records for Mass. (I used heritage quest to gather data). I would like to continue working on this project if there is more work to be done. I have looked through several states in subsequent years, they appear to all be assigned. Is there an easier way to tell what states still need researched? Thanks much. Carol

Hi Tim - Weather permitting I am going to finish up my library work on Mass. tomorrow. I will then start a "Whiting" "Whitny" and "Whiting" check (I found several instances in Mass. where Whiting was really Whitney). Thanks much.

Carol

== Main Page Layout ==

Tim:

Can you make the box on the right-hand side of the Main Page shorter? I'd rather have the information in the center column shorter, which could happen if it wraps around a shorter box, getting wider below its bottom edge.

== Which County? ==

Tim:

In assigning counties in Category: links, I have run onto a quandary. Consider Roxbury, MA. When counties were established, it was part of Suffolk County. When Norfolk County was established by being split off from Suffolk County, in 1793, it became part of Norfolk County. Then in 1867, it was annexed by the City of Boston, and again became part of Suffolk County. So which county name should I use in the Category: links? So far, I've used Suffolk, but now I'm leaning towards Norfolk. Or should it be time-dependent, so before 1793 or after 1867, we use Suffolk, and between those dates, Norfolk? Or should we use both?

== Re: Joseph Whitney Hubbardston, MA ==

Looks like we've been able to fill in some info on Joseph Whitney's family. I'm glad you were able to get the date of death for his wife, Esther (Crittenden) -- she wasn't in the MA Secretary of State's archives.

I'm curious as to the source for the marriage date for Joseph's son, George Washington Whitney. Although his wife shows up as Elmira, on my grandfather's genealogy chart and all the censuses she is known as Maria A ("A" for Arvilla). MA VR shows Maria marrying a Hopkins in 1899, in Petersham. She is later found residing with her daughter Mary Ellen in NH.

George W. Whitney may have married first an Abigail Sawyer on 9/18/1839, Templeton VR.

Joseph's son with the alternate names of Balak, Baruch, Barah is mentioned in the Town History of Hubbardston. He is said to have married (probably 2nd) an Elmira Elizabeth Greenwood b. 1842, on 2/10/1871. It goes on to say that he died on 7/26/1877 (the MA VR for Hubbardston backs this up). It uses the name Baruch as does a later census (1870?). Also, a book on the Greenwood genealogy mentions Baruch and says that he was b. in Utica, NY, of Josiah and Martha (Crittenden) Whitney. The name of Martha may be an error or perhaps was her middle name (?).

If you'd like to discuss, please feel free to do so.

== Whitney from Wales ==

Tim I have confirmed that James Whitney from Usk married Louisa Williams. I obtained Ernest James birth certificate from the GRO and lists Louisa Williams as his mother. I have updated my page with this info. I am slowly working at this. I also obtained Ernest and Olwen's marriage cert. and list as witness John Whitney and Amy Lawrence (Amy married?).

== Truman Whitney ==

Hi Tim,
Wow! You are amazing. I will follow the leads you gave me, but I wanted to provide you with the exact info that I have.

I found C.E Whitney (Charles Emmett) in the Biographical Sketches for Cherokee County Iowa. The following is the information directly copied from their site:

C. E. WHITNEY, one of the well-known and popular farmers of Silver Township, has been a resident of Cherokee County since 1876. He was born in Chautauqua County, New York, October 4, 1847, and is a son of Truman and Jane (Ransom) Whitney. They were the parents of five children, only two living: Mary J., wife of Wallace Wilcox, of Chautauqua County, New York, and C. E. Whitney, the subject of this notice. The father was a shoemaker in early life, but in later years took a heavily timbered farm which his son assisted him in clearing. He died in December, 1887, and his wife died when C. E. was five years old. When Mr. Whitney was twenty years old he broke the ties of childhood and youth and went out into the world to make a career for himself. He came to Delaware County, Iowa, and having been trained to agricultural pursuits, he worked at farming by the month in Delaware, Fayette and Buchanan counties. He was married October 25, 1868, in Buchanan County, to Miss Sa rah M. Warner, who was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, a daughter of George and Mary (Goodman) Warner. Farming through the wet year of 1869, in 1870 he obtained a position with Granger & Bradshaw, prominent stockmen of Marion County, Iowa, in whose employ he remained for five years, running a threshing-machine every fall. In 1876 he removed to O'Brien County, Iowa, and engaged in farming. the grasshoppers totally destroyed his crops that season, and in the fall he came to Cherokee County, and located on his present farm the following April, 1877. He has a barn, granary, cribs, and many conveniences for feeding stock, one of the best wells in the county, a fine grove of timber, and an orchard, with a great variety of small fruits. One hundred and forty acres of the land is in cultivation, and the balance is in pasture and meadow. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney are the parents of nine children: Rosa Bell, Martha Dell, alice Nell, Mary Estell, Genie Ethell, Addie Louell, Nina Vell, Edna Au rell and Orrin Emmett. In politics Mr. Whitney is idependent. He and his wife and four daughters are consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They are in the prime of life, cordial and hospitable, and among the leading families of the township.

With this information, I searched cemeteries in Sherman, and found Truman, Jane and three young children all buried together at the Waits Corners Cemetery. (This of course was done online, since I am in Florida and not New York!)

I have a great aunt who is still living, and knew both Charles and Sarah. Sarah lived to be 103, and was the oldest resident of Salem Oregon when she died. She remembers hearing of an Uncle Orange, and an Uncle Eli, both on the Whitney side.

I also have pictures of Charles and Sarah.

What information would be useful for me to add to this site?

In addition, I have a song that Charles wrote titled "The Banks of the Merry Little Sioux" (apparantly they were a very musical family, and Charles played the violin). I found this song listed with his biography on the Cherokee Iowa genealogy site.

Again, Thank You for your help, I will proceed with the possibilities you have provided, and see if I can make any direct links!

== Tag - you're it! ==

I sent you an email back. If YOU don't receive it, let ME know! ;)

== Hello and thanks. ==

Greetings Tim, I was asking the same question yesterday when I found RL Wards additions to the lineage I started. What I found when I Googled Jazaniah Whitney, I found a couple of pages of Whitney's from a book titled History of Newport New hampshire. and with in which I found Orange Whitney son of Jazaniah who had a son Charles H. Whitney. This research group has been so very interesting because as I wrote in the intoduction page our lineage back from my grand father was totaly nonexistant. then to have RL ward offer so much of our information, my sisters and I are reeling in the news of the history we have.

Tim, thanks for the interest. If you happen to run across additional info please feel free to contact me.

Charles Ernest Whitney Jaffrey NH.

== Doug Whitney- turbodoug@aol.com ==

Tim- I have had my DNA by Family Tree DNA profiled and would like to incorporate it into the WRG. It confirms my lineage back to John Whitney and connects me to other descendents, however, I don't completely understand it. How do I go about bringing it to the WRG?
Thanks

Tim:

When I went to Discussion:Lineage_site_update&rcid=73101 and clicked on the "Website Feedback" link at the top, I got an error message. When I clicked instead on "Discussion Forum Index", and then on "Website Feedback", all was well, so there is a work-around.

== Delete a page ==

Hello Tim,

My name is Joyce Sharpley. I just uploaded my .jpg Whitney Outline twice. One of the pages needs to be deleted as they are the same thing. I was trying to make the print larger when saving the outline, but for some reason it doesn't work, and I don't know how to enlarge the print at the Whitney site. My e-mail is joycesharpley@comcast.net I put the outline in .pdf format and the print was a readible size 12 point, but as soon as I put it in jpg format it would not enlarge.

== ! ==

Timothy - what you up to cuz??

== Lydia Whitney ==

Thank you so much. I then found [http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.maine.counties.franklin/33/mb.ashx this posting on Ancestry message boards], where the first responder says she is descended from his daughter Lydia Whitney. However, the original post has the unknown daughter being named Mary, so I don't know how Lydia could fit in. [[User:Michael A. White|Michael A. White]] 08:47, 2 May 2008 (CDT)

timothy!!! did you get my email??

== Why the Change? ==

Tim:

Why the last change to [[Family:Whitney, Robert (1592-1653)]]? Both the sons Robert and Francis must have died before 1638, when their younger brothers Constantine and Richard were called 2nd and 3rd sons of their father (Thomas was the 1st son) upon matriculation at Oxford.

- [[User:Rlward|Robert]] - [[User_talk:Rlward|Talk to me]] 19:17, 5 May 2008 (CDT)

== Children of Sir Robert ==

Tim:

I understand why you changed the dates. I agree that the children should be reordered, according to the visitation pedigree. That, at least, is a contemporary source. Agreed that Francis was probably the fifth surviving son and William the sixth. The surviving sons seem to be listed in order of age, followed by the surviving daughters in order of age. Children who died young were not mentioned, perhaps not surprisingly. Even Constance, who lived to maturity, but died unmarried before 1634, is not mentioned. Probably the daughters and sons should be interleaved to fill in the gaps left by the known ages. I'd put Eleanor as b. say 1617, Susan, b. say 1619, and Elizabeth, b. say 1627. Elizabeth died after 1634 but before her father. Possibly there was another, otherwise unknown, child b. ca. 1612 and died young.

I think that would make all the records agree with each other: visitation, baptisms, and matriculations.

== Hannah Whitney, Charles Cloes, Paul Knight ==

Tim,

The name of Chandler's River, ME, was changed to Jonesborough in 1789, so that is not an issue.

I can't recall nor find the source I used to connect Hannah Whitney, daughter of Joel and Mary (Weston) Whitney, with the H. Whitney who m. Paul Knight. I did find that Paul Knight was son of Capt. Jonathan and Mary (Adkins) Knight. He and Hannah (Whitney) Knight had the following children: Lucy, Adkins, Hannah, Joel, James Christy, Ann Maria, Ellis, Hiram, Elizabeth, Emily, Sabrina, Sewell, Louise, Malinda, Mary, Calista, and Jerome. Note that the second son was Joel, onomastic evidence of the connection. I suggest you ask Ken Whitney, our expert on Maine Whitney families.

I don't understand how a single female whose family were in, and stayed in, eastern Maine, was in a position to marry someone in Albany Co., NY, in 1784. I suggest that it might have been a different Hannah Whitney who contracted that marriage, and that the birth dates are just a coincidence.

== Sorry it so long for me to get this together ==

I have been researching for so long that I really need to publish my results. I thought this would be a good place to start for some of it. I have a large collection of gravestone photos which I will be hosting on my personal website. A fair number of them are of the Kansas Whitney lines. I will be trying to figure out how to work them into the WRG perhaps via links? I really appreciate your assistance with my additions and trust there will be someone to help with the cemetery photos when I get the data together.

Thanks again for your help. I feel comfortable already.

Thank you so much for putting the John Merrick/Clarissa Whitney Bible page with the others..... I have spent two days trying to figure it out (*_*) Thx for the help. I have other things I would like to post... can you tell me (in little baby language) how I transfer a page I write to be put with others in same category? Thx so much.... Jeanne

Okay... I give up! This site is simply too complicated for me.... I have just tried to upload an image of a Whitney tombstone w/inscription, but I cannot master the process. Am sending my regrets to the Whitney's as I do have some things that I think original and interesting. Next time one of my "kids" is home maybe I can get some help (*_*) Jeanne

Tim: I have just uploaded military pay records for James Rex (Rix) Whitney. I have no idea where they are or what to do with them.... maybe you can place them properly. Thx Jeanne

Umm I have considered it. And I'll proably do it. But I don't expect to find a John Whitney link. Did any known Whitney's of that line even own slaves?

Even so since I am African-American it is quite possible that my DNA won't be traced back to any of the major Whitney lines. Although, it would be fun to find that there is a genetic link! I know of a few DNA genealogy sites for African-Americans. At some point I will submit a sample there too. That sort of research doesn't really help you imagine much of a story. I mean, eventually we are all related.

I am really just trying to figure out where those 23 Hyde Co. slaves come from. I don't have much hope but I'm finding that the search is kinda fun. I figured the Samuel Whitney connection would be a no-brainer but I just can't seem to connect this Sarah Whitney of 1790 Hyde Co to him.

== Source of Memoranda ==

Tim:

I believe I photocopied that at the NEHGS Library in Boston in 2004 (after the Reunion). At any rate, I have a photocopy. I just checked that part of the photocopy against its transcription, and the latter is letter-perfect.

== Update ==

Tim -

I have really neglected the 1840 Mass census project. I took on a part time job in Feb. and then a full time position the end of March (retirement brought on new life goals and I still haven't won a lottery!) So that along with stained glass commissions has kept me a little too busy. I now have Thursday night and Sunday afternoons I can devote to working on the project. I assume it is available as my name still appears as the transcriber. Just wanted to give you an update and check in with you, don't want to duplicate work if someone else has taken on Mass. Thanks.

Carol

== Arthur Whitney pages ==

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm not familiar with wiki so that's a learning experience! And I worry about my edit ettiquette, so if you see me doing anything that's a no-no please let me know. I have alot of information on Arthur's descendants that I'll add as I feel my way thru. There is some information I have that I'm not sure where to put yet. For instance, in 1850 Franklin Parish, LA Western District there is a Francis Whitney, 15 living in household of Arch Holloway. Arthur Whitney the first (assumed) son of Arthur 1800-1850 was married to Elizabeth Holloway, possibly relative of Arch Holloway, so that would likely link this Francis to the son Arthur, but I don't know where to place that information. What do you think? I'm a litle overwhelmed by the wiki site at this point.
I want to try to prove Arthur is son of Francis, as I think he is, but haven't found the link yet. Thanks again for your comments.
Debi Giltner
BTW I descend from Arthur thru Silas and Mary Ann Johnson Whitney's daughter, Julia Whitney.
No men left in Silas' line to do the DNA test. Darn!

== Late in getting your message ==

Tim, Thanks for thinking of me, yes I had considered the line of Phineas until I went the
route of DNA-y(67)(37765), from that they say I should be John1, Thomas2, Eleazer3. then is where
I make the big guess as to Jonas4, Jacob5, and that is where I would have a Reuben6, which is
the son of Jacob5. I have a Reuben Whitney and Ruth (Unk) as parents of my Crosby Whitney.
It has always been favorable looking into the Phineas family with the surnames and given
names of Crosby, and Reuben, being used so much and being from Maine.
But to believe in DNA I must think of the line of Thomas and Eleazer.
I wish more people would go to 35 markers or more, 25 just isn't enough.
I would like to give you some small information about Chester Coborn8 Whitney b. 18 Sep 1822
in that he married 29 Sep 1845 as you have it (at Saint Joseph, Michigan) from the Saint Joseph,
Michigan marriage records. It might help someone.
I have been spending much of my time on Remington Hobby Whitney b. 1802 from Maine and sending information to Ken Whitney.
