[[Family:Whitney, Richard (1624-a1691)|Richard2]],
[[Family:Whitney, John (1592-1673)|John1]]),
son of [[Family:Whitney, Jacob (1797-1833)|Jacob7 and Polly (Watts) Whitney]],
was born 5 Dec 1827, Weston, VT, and died 29 Feb 1904, Waterford, PA.

He married 15 Nov 1849, Amherst, NH, '''Hannah Francis Knight ''', daughter of Jonathan and Lucy Adeline (Putnam) Knight. She was born 15 Apr 1830, Amherst, NH, and died 1916, Waterford, PA.

After Timothy’s father, Jacob, died in 1833, it is most likely he went to live with his grandparents Richard and Sarah Whitney until he was 16.

Then he went to Nashua, NH, to work in a cotton mill where he became an overseer.

Sometime during 1851, Timothy, Hannah and Emma moved to Waterford, PA, to join Timothy’s brother, Hugh Henry Whitney.

In 1854, they bought a farm at Lake Pleasant, PA, where he had a sawmill and made lumber and ship timbers for sale in Erie.

They lived on the farm until 1865 when Timothy moved them back into Waterford for his children's education.

In 1870, he went into the grocery business, which he continued until just before he died.
His business suffered two fires, in 1881 and 1895, and each time he rebuilt and continued.

Timothy Watts Whitney died on 29 Feb 1904, Waterford, PA, after a long illness. Timothy and Hannah are buried in Waterford Cemetery.

son of [[Family:Whitney, Timothy Watts (1827-1904)|Timothy Watts8 and Hannah Frances (Knight) Whitney]],
was born Jul 1856, Venango, PA, and died 18 Mar 1933, Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.

He married 5 Jan 1881, Sedgwick County, KS, Hattie Catherine Lewis, daughter of William Forrester Lewis and Margaret J (Evans) Lewis. She was born 5 Aug 1858, Fleming, KY and died after 1901. No children are recorded.

John Patten Whitney was born July, 1856 in Venango County, PA, third child of Timothy and Hannah Whitney. The first few years of his life were spent near Lake Pleasant, PA where Timothy had purchased a saw mill. Later, Tim Whitney sold the business and bought buildings in the center of Waterford, PA and opened a grocery and a telegraph office. J P learned the grocery business, working in the family store. He was definitely influenced by his uncle, Hugh (HH) Whitney, who by all accounts was a restless entrepreneur, trying many different business opportunities in his lifetime.

J.P. started a grocery business with a partner in Wichita (1878-1879), but then the 1880 census lists him with his uncle, H.H. raising cattle near Medicine Lodge, KS. The Wichita City directory has him in the stockraising business in 1882. The 1885 Kansas State census records that he running a billiards hall near Medicine Lodge in Kiowa, Kansas.

Next, we find him back in the grocery business in Seattle, WA according to the 1889 State census . By 1896, he and Hattie are in Juneau, Alaska operating a mercantile. When the gold rush brings in prospectors, J P seizes the opportunity and set up a store at Dyea, Alaska, where miners would disembark from the ships, outfit and provision before setting off over the Chilcoot Pass to the Yukon. Soon, J P has his Whitney and Pedlar stores in Bennett, then Dawson and Whitehorse, moving to the Yukon in 1899. He is listed on the 1901 Canadian census with Hattie in Whitehorse.

Whitney and Pedlar becomes one of the two largest general stores in Whitehorse, which is booming. In 1905, Robert Service mentions J P Whitney as a future multi-millionaire in his poem "Bob Smart's Dream". J P invests in copper mines and mining rights. In 1912, after many years of success, he sells his interest in Whitney and Pedlar. Still the entrepreneur, he invests in a fox farm and more copper mining rights, but the price of fur falls as well as the price of copper. John P. Whitney died in Whitehorse, March 18, 1933, still remembered as one of the early business leaders in Whitehorse.

After 1901, we have no record of Hattie Whitney. She is not on the 1911 Canada census, but there is no death record on file in Whitehorse.

On various documents, J P Whitney is listed as John Pattent Whitney. His death certificate indicates John Patten Whitney. His mother's step-mother was Ann Miller Patten.

was born Jul 1856, Venango, PA, and died 18 Mar 1933, Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada.

He married 5 Jan 1881, Sedgwick County, KS, Hattie Catherine Lewis, daughter of William Forrester Lewis and Margaret J (Evans) Lewis. She was born 5 Aug 1858, Fleming, KY and died after 1901. No children are recorded.

John Patten Whitney was born July, 1856 in Venango County, PA, third child of Timothy and Hannah Whitney. The first few years of his life were spent near Lake Pleasant, PA were Timothy had purchased a saw mill. Later, Tim Whitney sold the business and bought buildings in the center of Waterford, PA and opened a grocery and a telegraph office. J P would have learned the grocery business. But he was definitely influenced by his uncle, Hugh (HH) Whitney, who by all accounts was a restless entrepreneur, trying many different business opportunities in his lifetime.

J.P. started a grocery business with a partner in Wichita (1878-1879), but then the 1880 census lists him with his uncle, H.H. raising cattle near Medicine Lodge, KS. The Wichita City directory has him in the stockraising business in 1882. The 1885 Kansas State census records that he running a billiards hall near Medicine Lodge in Kiowa, Kansas.

Next, we find him back in the grocery business in Seattle, WA according to the 1889 State census . By 1896, he and Hattie are in Juneau, Alaska operating a mercantile. When the gold rush brings in prospectors, J P seizes the opportunity and set up a store at Dyea, Alaska, where miners would disembark from the ships, outfit and provision before setting off over the Chilcoot Pass to the Yukon. Soon, J P has his Whitney and Pedlar stores in Bennett, then Dawson and Whitehorse, moving to the Yukon in 1899. He is listed on the 1901 Canadian census with Hattie in Whitehorse.

Whitney and Pedlar becomes one of the two largest general stores in Whitehorse, which is booming. In 1905, Robert Service mentions J P Whitney as a future multi-millionaire in his poem "Bob Smart's Dream". J P invests in copper mines and mining rights. In 1912, after many years of success, he sells his interest in Whitney and Pedlar. Still the entrepreneur, he invests in a fox farm and more copper mining rights, but the price of fur falls as well as the price of copper. John P.

was born 5 Dec 1827, Weston, VT, and died 29 Feb 1904, Waterford, PA.

He married 15 Nov 1849, Amherst, NH, '''Hannah Francis Knight ''', daughter of Jonathan and Lucy Adeline (Putnam) Knight. She was born 15 Apr 1830, Amherst, NH, and died 1916, Waterford, PA.

After Timothy’s father, Jacob, died in 1833, it is most likely he went to live with his grandparents Richard and Sarah Whitney until he was 16.

Then he went to Nashua, NH, to work in a cotton mill where he became an overseer.

Sometime during 1851, Timothy, Hannah and Emma moved to Waterford, PA, to join Timothy’s brother, Hugh Henry Whitney.

In 1854, they bought a farm at Lake Pleasant, PA, where he had a sawmill and made lumber and ship timbers for sale in Erie.

They lived on the farm until 1865 when Timothy moved them back into Waterford for his children's education.

In 1870, he went into the grocery business, which he continued until just before he died.
His business suffered two fires, in 1881 and 1895, and each time he rebuilt and continued.

Timothy Watts Whitney died on 29 Feb 1904, Waterford, PA, after a long illness. Timothy and Hannah are buried in Waterford Cemetery.

He married 5 Jan 1881, Sedgwick County, KS, Hattie Catherine Lewis, daughter of William Forrester Lewis and Margaret J (Evans) Lewis. She was born 5 Aug 1858, Fleming, KY and died after 1901. No children are recorded.

John Patten Whitney was born July, 1856 in Erie County, PA, third child of Timothy and Hannah Whitney. The first few years of his life were spent near Lake Pleasant, PA were Timothy had purchased a saw mill. Later, Tim Whitney sold the business and bought buildings in the center of Waterford, PA and opened a grocery and a telegraph office. J P would have learned the grocery business. But he was definitely influenced by his uncle, Hugh (HH) Whitney, who by all accounts was a restless entrepreneur, trying many different business opportunities in his lifetime.

J.P. started a grocery business with a partner in Wichita (1878-1879), but then the 1880 census lists him with his uncle, H.H. raising cattle near Medicine Lodge, KS. The Wichita City directory has him in the stockraising business in 1882. The 1885 census records that he running a billiards hall near Medicine Lodge in Kiowa, Kansas.

Next, we find him back in the grocery business in Seattle, WA according to the 1889 state census . By 1896, he and Hattie are in Juneau, Alaska operating a mercantile. When the gold rush brings in prospectors, J P seizes the opportunity and set up a store at Dyea, Alaska, where miners would disembark from the ships, outfit and provision before setting off over the Chilcoot Pass to the Yukon. Soon, J P has his Whitney and Pedlar stores in Bennett, then Dawson and Whitehorse, moving to the Yukon in 1899. He is listed on the 1901 Canadian census with Hattie in Whitehorse.

Whitney and Pedlar becomes one of the two largest general stores in Whitehorse, which is booming. In 1905, Robert Service mentions J P Whitney as a future multi-millionaire in his poem "Bob Smart's Dream". J P invests in copper mines and mining rights. In 1912, after many years of success, he sells his interest in Whitney and Pedlar. Still the entrepreneur, he invests in a fox farm and more copper mining rights, but the price of fur falls as well as the price of copper. John P. Whitney died in Whitehorse, March 18, 1933, still remembered as one of the early business leaders in Whitehorse.

After 1901, we have no record of Hattie Whitney. She is not on the 1911 Canada census, but there is no death record on file in Whitehorse.

On various documents, J P Whitney is listed as John Pattent Whitney. His death certificate indicates John Patten Whitney. His mother's step-mother was Ann Miller Patten.

son of [[Family:Whitney, Jacob (1797-1833)|Jacob7 and Polly (Watts) Whitney]],
was born 5 Dec 1827, Weston, VT, and died 29 Feb 1904, Waterford, PA.

He married 15 Nov 1849, Amherst, NH, '''Hannah Francis Knight ''', daughter of Jonathan and Lucy Adeline (Putnam) Knight. She was born 15 Apr 1830, Amherst, NH, and died 1916, Waterford, PA.

After Timothy’s father, Jacob, died in 1833, it is most likely he went to live with his grandparents Richard and Sarah Whitney until he was 16.

Then he went to Nashua, NH, to work in a cotton mill where he became an overseer.

Sometime during 1851, Timothy, Hannah and Emma moved to Waterford, PA, to join Timothy’s brother, Hugh Henry Whitney.

In 1854, they bought a farm at Lake Pleasant, PA, where he had a sawmill and made lumber and ship timbers for sale in Erie.

They lived on the farm until 1865 when Timothy moved them back into Waterford for his children's education.

In 1870, he went into the grocery business, which he continued until just before he died.
His business suffered two fires, in 1881 and 1895, and each time he rebuilt and continued.

Timothy Watts Whitney died on 29 Feb 1904, Waterford, PA, after a long illness. Timothy and Hannah are buried in Waterford Cemetery.

== Which John is Which? ==

Robert:

My approach here would be to check and fill in the documentation on the two families. Try to follow these families, including the siblings of the two children in question, through the census to see if any patterns emerge. Also, Asa & Ira need pages of their own - following them might bring clues to light as well. What made you place them with [[Family:Whitney, John (1784-1871)]]? We don't know why Pierce placed them with the other family, but from his outline, his details on that family were very scarce.

== Capt. David Whitney ==

Robert:

Compare [http://genforum.genealogy.com/whitney/messages/3240.html this query] with the information on [[Family:Whitney, David (1716-a1764)]]. The marriage seems to match, but the parentage and later details (death location) for David do not match. Thoughts?

Robert - thank you for that - I'll post that in the reply to the query so others are not confused.

Also, I thought I'd mention that there are now 84 people who have joined our "Whitney Family History" group on Facebook.

== Progress on Thomas of Westminster? ==

Hi Richard,
You may or may not remember me, I transcribed a couple of wills a year or so ago for your group. Anyway, at that time we were emailing back and forth and you thought that maybe you had a breakthrough in the Whitney line, or you were really close. Whatever happened with that? I have a relative that is very interested in all of this and I think he is willing to finance some research. Could you contact me and maybe we could talk?
Thanks,
- [[User:Beth Whitney Breinholt|Beth Breinholt]]

== Horace B. Whitney ==

Robert - please take a look at [[Family:Whitney, Horace B. (1830-1882)]]. Note the m. in 1848 to Lucetta Frazier, supported by the marriage extracts. Also, in the census records, he and Lucetta are listed near other Frazier families, and the Horace Whitney, same age, married to Virginia, is also listed near these Frazier families in later census records, so I am fairly certain they are the same man.

Compare this family to Horace Burnham, son of [[Family:Whitney, Luther (1777-a1830)]]. Pierce lists nothing but his first name. You added the additional information (middle name, marriage, death date) on 9/14/07, but with no sources. The wife's name and place of marriage matches, but the dates do not match at all (birth, marriage, or death). Where did you get the dates? Is this a case of two Horace B. Whitneys, perhaps father and son of uncle and nephew?

Robert:

Can you help to identify the Mary Whitney, b. 5 Jan 1812 Portland, ME, d. 26 Jan 1878, Springfield, MO, who m. 30 Apr 1837, John Smith Phelps, who became Governor of Missouri?

See [http://family.phelpsinc.com/bios/john_smith_phelps.asp this biography] as well as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Smith_Phelps this one] and [http://www.archive.org/stream/phelpsfamilyofam12phel/phelpsfamilyofam12phel_djvu.txt this one].

Although many pages online list her as being from Portland, ME, [http://www.archive.org/stream/messagesandprocl009321mbp/messagesandprocl009321mbp_djvu.txt this page] lists her as from Hartford.

==Mary Whitney Phelps again ==
Robert:

According to [[Archive:Buffalo, New York, Directories]], there were 3 Whitney families in Buffalo in 1832 - a joiner with no listed first name who I have been unable to identify, [[Family:Whitney, Zerah (1784-1873)]] who was only there briefly and who moved away later that same here, and a man listed as "W. A. Whitney". Now I haven't been able to locate a "W.A.", but I *did* find a W.H. Whitney who was known to be in Erie County. [[Family:Whitney, William Henry (1779-1853)]] died in Aurora, Erie Co., NY. My suspicion in that the middle initial was either a transcription error, or someone said "H" and someone else heard "A". Very, very interesting is that this family had a daughter Maria, born 5 Jan 1817. I suspect that someone else mis-transcribed the "7" in 1817 as a "2".

Note that Aurora is just outside of Buffalo. Also, there is a Portland, NY in Erie Co.

Thoughts?

I am going to see what I can do to expand this family group this evening.

== I have a WHITNEY, William, m. Sarah -----, question too! ==

I have a dangling William & Sarah Whitney in my family tree too, but I have a couple of census(es?) with the children as Hattie (though my family records refer to her as Harriet(she was my 2nd great grandmother)), Josephine & William.

A couple of years ago, I had a conversation with Tim and this was the note he sent me:

"From the census records you provided, it appears that you are descended from William Whitney who was born about 1819 in Massachusetts. The 1850 census in Columbus, OH shows him age 30, the 1860 census of Dayton, OH shows him age 41, and the 1870 census of Indianapolis, IN shows him age 52. I found his widow in 1880, so he died sometime between 1870-1880.

Keep in mind that his marriage record shows that he was listed as "William Whitney, Jr.". I searched for other Whitneys in 1850 and found one, a "Wm Whitney", age 50, laborer, b. Mass. He was living just 6 pages away from your William. I suspect that he could have been your William's father.

You stated on [[Family Talk:Whitney, Elisha (1747-1815)]] that you think that your William's father was [[Family:Whitney, Elisha (1747-1815)|Elisha Whitney (1747-1815)]]. However, this man's son William was born 17 Jun 1788 and is listed as having died unmarried. Because of the date discrepancy, I cannot see how this could be your William's father. This Elisha did have a son Elisha (1780-1823) who also had a son named William, but he was b. 25 Jan 1810 and is also listed as having died unmarried. "

The funny thing is that I found William and Sarah, but my grandmother's records have "Eliza?" listed as Harriet's mother, only dragging me back to the whole Elisha/William/Elisha/William mystery.

Does any of this sound any alarms with you or match any of your loose ends?
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, [[User:Gwendolynkwisely|Gwendolyn]]

== Rlward: My mother Dot Whitney ==

Robert, God bless you. I never knew anything about my mother. I barely remember her. You have given me a great gift with this information. I now know my grandmother was LULU and my grandfather was Fred, I never knew that. Now I can at least feel like I had people attached to me instead of a void. Mary

==Ebenezer Whitney==
Robert:

You asked Ken about the discrepancy of his statement vs. the fact that Ebenezer d. 1801, West Indies. Look closer at that page - after he d., another Ebenezer was b. 1803.

== Problem Page ==

Robert:

The page [[Archive:Some_of_the_Descendants_of_John_and_Elinor_Whitney]] was indeed very wrong! I corrected two HTML issues which were causing it to display improperly: 1) many font calls which were not closed properly were causing tables to not be closed properly, and 2) one table had an open table row statement when it should have been a close table row. The page is now displaying properly, but I did have to remove all font statements.

== Name Index ==

Robert:

The import of the children to the name index pages has been completed. The edits made can be seen by selecting "Recent changes" and selecting "show bots", or by going to [[User:WRG-Robot]] and selecting "User contributions".

Many new pages were created that need to be added to the index. I am sure that some pages are no longer needed and need to be removed, but I'll have to write a script to get that listing. Note that the bot does NOT edit or use the large name index page, so it is safe to break it up. A future script might edit this page, but that is not coded, and I'll just code it to access the individual pages if we ever desire it to be automated to that degree.

== Pages needing attention ==

Robert:

Please take a look at [[Pages needing attention]]. In an attempt to streamline the process, I am rewriting the scripts to update this page with their results. The current page has a dummy list, but one of the scripts is now running and should update it soon. I would suggest that we both add this page to our watchlist, and the "page changed" email will alert us to changes. If you can add it now, I'd like to make sure that that functionality is working for you.

Further updates might include having the script run automatically on a regular basis.

Thanks!

This source shows his ancestor [[Family:Whitney, Andrew (1754-1818)|Andrew Whitney]] to have been a son of [[Family:Whitney, Silas (1737-1813)|Silas6 and Jane (Pearson) Whitney]] instead of a son of [[Family:Whitney, Abraham (1716-a1796)|Abraham5 and Tabitha (Allen) Whitney]] as our site shows.

Can you review this and give some insight as to why we have the lineage listed differently?

Thank you!

== Hugh Henry Whitney ==

Robert,

I noticed that this page had been flagged: Family:Whitney, Jacob (1797-1833) Jacob7 Whitney (Richard6, Richard5, Israel4, Ebenezer3, Richard2, John1)

I created a new page for Hugh Henry8 and added some information. There are quite a few dates missing and I have not yet added references or moved the census records.

Regards,

Jerry

== Jacob, son of Ezra ==

Hello, and welcome to the WRG website.

I am descended from Ezra Whitney and his son Jacob Whitney would have been an uncle (with many greats in front of that). I don't think that this is the correct lineage for you. You can see his family at [[Family:Whitney, Jacob (1796-a1870)]]. Notice that he did not marry Polly Watts, and he did not have a son named Timothy.

The other branch may be found at [[Family:Whitney, Richard (1743-1816)]].

== Timothy ==

Jerry:

Did your Timothy Whitney move to Hillsborough, NH by 1850 and have a wife Frances H.? If so, there is another Whitney family next door to them, with the head of that family being Samuel Whitney, b. ca. 1817, MA. This Samuel, if he was an elder brother of your Timothy, could be the clue to determining their parents.

Interesting that they lived next door to each other in 1850, but it turns out that Timothy Watts Whitney and Samuel Whitney were related only by way of John and Elinor, seven generations earlier.

== Timothy ==

Jerry:

Did your Timothy Whitney move to Hillsborough, NH by 1850 and have a wife Frances H.? If so, there is another Whitney family next door to them, with the head of that family being Samuel Whitney, b. ca. 1817, MA. This Samuel, if he was an elder brother of your Timothy, could be the clue to determining their parents.

Interesting that they lived next door to each other in 1850, but Timothy Watts Whitney and Samuel Whitney were related only by way of John and Elinor, seven generations earlier.

Hello,

My sister and I are researching our Whitney line. Our gg grandfather was Timothy Watts Whitney, b. Dec 5, 1827 in Weston, VT. We recently learned that our ggg grandfather was Jacob Whitney of Weston, VT. He married Polly Watts, Jan 11, 1821.

Jacob Whitney was born Feb 16, 1797 in Andover, VT. He was the son of Richard Whitney and Sarah (Sally) Holt.
Richard Whitney and Sarah Holt were married in Wilton, VT June 3, 1794. Richard Whitney was born in Wilton June 25, 1770 to Richard Whitney and Sarah (Butterfield) Whitney.

According to the records in Andover, VT, Jacob had a sister, Sally Whitney, born Oct 16, 1798.

The town of Weston,VT was created from the west side of Andover in 1800.

Records in Weston indicate that Jacob Whitney and Polly Watts had three children: Hugh Henry (abt 1823), Timothy Watts (Dec 5 1827) and Caroline L. (abt Apr 24 1830)

Jacob died Mar 24, 1833 in Weston, VT.

Jacob's lineage would be Jacob-7, Richard-6, Richard-5, Israel-4, Ebenezer-3, Richard-2, John-1
