Forrest was b. 9 Jul 1852, Baltimore, MD, and received an excellent preparatory education; he entered Dartmouth college, was honored with an election to the Psi Upsilon fraternity, and graduated in the class of 1875. Soon afterwards he began reading law in Boston with Gaston, Field & Jewett and remained with that firm till he went to Chicago in 1878, and was admitted to the various bars in October of that year. Since becoming a resident of that city he has been engaged in several noted criminal cases, but, although powerful in that line he is a general practitioner in his profession. In politics he is a Democrat and many of his addresses have attracted considerable attention. Probably he is the most prominent criminal lawyer in the city of Chicago, and was the leading attorney in the celebrated Cronin case.

'''Adrial L. Whitney''' ([[Family:Whitney, Leonard (c1793-1825)|Leonard]]),
son of [[Family:Whitney, Leonard (c1793-1825)|Leonard and Achsah (-----) Whitney]],
was born about 1826, Medfield, MA or Boston, MA (from death record), and died 17 Mar 1906, Union, Knox Co., ME, age 80 years, 11 months, 9 days (calculated birth date 8 March 1825).

He married, 25 Aug 1850, Dedham, MA, '''Margaret Cronin'''.{{ref|1}} She was born about 1830, Cork Island, Ireland, the daughter of Michael and Margaret (Keough) Cronan of Cork Island, Ireland. She died 5 Apr 1915, Union, Knox Co., ME at age 87 years, 5 mo. (Calculated birth date Nov 1827). In 1850, she was residing in a boarding house in Dedham, MA (listed as Mary Cronin).

About 25 Aug 1850, the family moved to Maine.

In 1860, the family was enumerated in Union, ME. Adrial was listed under the name "E. L. Whitney". Their son Erastus L. was listed as "E. L. Jr.", indicating that Adrial was perhaps named Erastus L. Whitney, although this could have been a mistake.

Adrial L. Whitney enlisted in Co. C, 1st Maine Light Artillery on 22 December 1863, and was discharged 17 June 1865.

In 1880, Mary M. Whitney, age 73, with children Laura, 37, and Granville G. Whitney, 33, were enumerated next door to Adrial's family. It is not known what, if any, the relationship was.

Archive:Civil War Pension File, (George) Henry Whitney

2012-04-18T14:31:52Z

Ken.Whitney: Created page with "'''From the Civil War Pension File of Henry Whitney''' '''Co. B, 11th Minnesota Infantry''' '''Melissa Whitney, Widow''' '''Widow’s Application #324264, Certificate #3174..."

'''From the Civil War Pension File of Henry Whitney'''

'''Co. B, 11th Minnesota Infantry'''

'''Melissa Whitney, Widow'''

'''Widow’s Application #324264, Certificate #317495'''

'''The National Archives Building,'''

'''Washington, D.C.'''

Henry Whitney is identified as: (George) Henry, Sewell, Jonathan, Jonathan, Samuel, John, Benjamin, John.

On 23 February 1885 from Isanti Co., Minnesota, Melissa Whitney signed a Widow’s Declaration for Pension or Increase in Pension. She is 47 years old, and the widow of Henry Whitney, who enlisted at Fort Snelling on 9 August 1864 in Company B, 11th Minnesota Infantry. Henry died from lung fever at Bradford, Isanti Co.,, Minnesota on 4 December 1877. She had been married to Henry Whitney under the name Melissa Carson on 1 June 1852 (sic) by Elder Bruce at Penobscot Co., Maine, and neither had been previously married. The following are the names and birth dates of their surviving children under the age of sixteen:

Frank Whitney, b. 16 September 1863

Elva Whitney, b. 28 February 1867

Willie Whitney, b. 8 August 1869 (sic)

Lillie Whitney, b. 6 July 1872

Ellen Whitney, b. 15 August 1875

Belle Whitney, b. 24 June 1878

Willie is a cripple, cannot stand alone, and is partially idiotic.
She resides in Bradford, Isanti Co., Minnesota, and her post office is Cambridge, Minnesota.

On 10 July 1890, Melissa once again applied for a pension from Isanti Co., Minnesota. She relates that Henry Whitney was appointed Corporal on 26 October 1864, was discharged honorably on 26 June 1865, and died on 24 December 1887 (sic). She had married Henry Whitney at Hudson (formerly called Kirkland) on 16 July 1854. Children now living with her who are under the age of sixteen are:

Willie Whitney, b. 8 August 1870

Ellen Whitney, b. 15 August 1875

Belle Whitney, b. 24 June 1878

Willie is now, and has been since he was a baby, permanently helpless.

Melissa provided a copy of the record of her marriage from David R. Andrews, Clerk of the Town of Hudson, Penobscot Co., Maine.
“I hereby certify that Mr. Henry W. Whitney and Miss Melissa Carson, both of Kirkland, Me. were lawfully joined in marriage by me on the 16 day of July AD 1854 in the town of Kirkland. Otis Bruce, Minister of the Gospel”

On 5 February 1891, Melissa Whitney applied as a guardian for pension benefits for her son Willie, who is permanently disabled. She declares that Willie was born 8 August 1870, and her husband died on 4 December 1877.

Melissa provided birth certificates for two of her children, who were born in Bradford, Isanti Co., Minnesota:

Ellen Whitney, b. 15 August 1875

Belle Whitney, b. 24 June 1878

The Bureau of Pensions was notified that Melissa Whitney was last paid at $12.00 to 4 April 1916, and was dropped from the pension roll because of death on 17 May 1916.

Note: Henry does not appear in the family in the 1880 census, so he undoubtedly die in 1877, not 1887. Whether he died on 4 December or 24 December I do not know. KLW

Family:Whitney, Adrial L. (c1826-1906)

Ken.Whitney:

'''Adrial L. Whitney''' ([[Family:Whitney, Leonard (c1793-1825)|Leonard]]),
son of [[Family:Whitney, Leonard (c1793-1825)|Leonard and Achsah (-----) Whitney]],
was born about 1826, Medfield, MA, and died 17 Mar 1906, Union, Knox Co., ME.

He married, 25 Aug 1850, Dedham, MA, '''Margaret Cronin'''.{{ref|1}} She was born about 1830, Ireland, and died 5 Apr 1915, Union, Knox Co., ME. In 1850, she was residing in a boarding house in Dedham, MA (listed as Mary Cronin).

About 25 Aug 1850, the family moved to Maine.

In 1860, the family was enumerated in Union, ME. Adrial was listed under the name "E. L. Whitney". Their son Erastus L. was listed as "E. L. Jr.", indicating that Adrial was perhaps named Erastus L. Whitney, although this could have been a mistake.

Adrial L. Whitney enlisted in Co. C, 1st Maine Light Artillery on 22 December 1863, and was discharged 17 June 1865.

In 1880, Mary M. Whitney, age 73, with children Laura, 37, and Granville G. Whitney, 33, were enumerated next door to Adrial's family. It is not known what, if any, the relationship was.

'''The following is a Memorandum of Military Service of William C. Whitney:'''

“Enlisted as a Private in Battery “G”, Second Regiment, Illinois Light Artillery, September 12, 1861. Commissioned Second Lieutenant, October 5, 1861, and First Lieutenant , January 15, 1862. Mustered out of the service, February 22, 1863, under General Orders from the War Department reducing the number of Officers in Light batteries.

Re-enlisted as Private in Battery “D” First Illinois Light Artillery, December 15, 1863. Commissioned First Lieutenant January 15, 1864. Appointed Captain in Seventh U.S.C. Artillery (Heavy) April 10, 1864. Appointed Colonel of Fourth Regiment Enrolled Militia, District of West Tennessee, December 15 1864, continuing to hold position of Captain in Seventh U.S.C. Artillery (Heavy). Regiment disbanded April 12, 1865. Appointed Colonel Second Regiment Freedmen Enrolled Militia, District of West Tennessee, April 20, 1865. Regiment disbanded July, 1865. Assigned to duty as Assistant Provost Marshall Freedman District of West Tennessee, July, 1865. Mustered out of service, January 12, 1866.
The Seventh U.S.C. Artillery (Heavy) having been changed to the Eleventh U.S.C. Infantry, he was mustered out with that organization, having served nearly four years in six different Regiments, and three branches of the service, viz: Light and Heavy Artillery, and Infantry.”

On 3 May 1890 from Mitchell Co., Kansas, William C. Whitney signed a Declaration for an Original Invalid Pension. He was enrolled as a private on 12 September 1861 in Company G of the 2nd Regiment of Illinois Light Artillery. He was honorably discharged on 22 February 1863. He is 62 years old; height 6 feet, 2 inches; light complexion; gray hair; and blue eyes. While in the service and in the line of duty at Trenton, Tennessee in August 1862 he contracted chronic diarrhea, and being much in the saddle, he contacted piles. He was never in the hospital and cannot give the name of the surgeon at that time. After his discharge he obtained some relief and soon re-enlisted. Soon after the piles grew worse and became a varying source of discomfort, in a great degree disabling him from manual labor. The idea of piles was so repulsive to hime, and being in appearance strong and robust, he never complained, and very few knew that he had any issue. With advancing years and his great weight (varying from 280 to 300 pounds), he has a constant feeling of fullness and discomfort in the rectum. He describes varying symptoms attendant to his illness. Since leaving the service he has resided in the Town of New Milford, Illinois, where his occupation was farmer, until 1871, when he located in Cawker City, Kansas, keeping hotel until 1884. Since then he was the postmaster. He is greatly disabled and seeks to be placed on the pension roll. Witnessing the declaration are R.W. Lundy and R.M. Ferris.

On 19 September 1897 William answered an inquiry from the Bureau of Pensions. He is married to Ann Eliza Whitney, nee Holmes. They were married 5 January 1851 in East Boston, MA by Rev. Porter. He knows of no record of the marriage other than in the family record. They have no living children.

On 19 June 1907 from Mitchell Co., Kansas Anna E. Whitney, age 81, signed a Declaration for Widow’s Pension. She is the widow of William C. Whitney who died 16 June 1907. She was married under the name Ann Eliza Holmes to said William C. Whitney on 5 January 1851 by Rev. James Porter at Boston, MA. Her post office address is Cawker City, Mitchell Co., Kansas.

Anna provided a certified copy of their marriage record from the Registry Department of the City of Boston. The marriage was recorded 10 January 1851. The Groom was William C. Whitney, a resident of Boston, MA. He was a 24 year old, white, Expressman born in Dexter, Maine, the son of John G. Whitney. It is his first marriage. The Bride was Anna Eliza Holmes, a resident of Boston, MA. She was 25 years old, white, with no occupation. She was born in Barre, VT, the daughter of Fisher Holmes. It is her first marriage. They were married by Rev. James Porter on 5 January 1851 in Boston.

The Commissioner of Pensions was notified that Anna E. Whitney was last paid at $12.00 to 4 May 1916, and has been dropped from the rolls because of death on 8 May 1916.

'''The following is the obituary of Col. William C. Whitney''' from the newspaper Cawker City Public Record, Cawker City, Mitchell Co., Kansas, dated 20 June 1907. It was the front page, above the crease, main story that day.

Colonel William C. Whitney
----------------------------
The Solomon Valley’s Pioneer Hotel Man
Passes to the Great Beyond
----------------------------
Past Commander of the Department of Kansas,
Grand Army of the Republic
--------------------------------
Died - At his home in Cawker City June 16, 1907 William Clifford Whitney, aged 79 years, 5 months, and 12 days.
To write an obituary of Colonel Whitney would be almost making a chronological table, as scarcely a year is unmarked that he was not connected with some public event.
As a forerunner of his future, a letter written of his mother’s, written in 1831 by her brother William Allen (afterward President of Girard College) shows the inborn traits as a child. “If you are going to raise an army of boys (which appears highly probable) I beg you will give me the privilege of appointing for their General that unaccountable prodigy that fearless and ungovernable Clifford! He is a real Bonaparte in miniature!!! and I expect to see him some day, sword in hand, at the head of his thousands.
Born at Dexter, Me, Jan. 3, 1828, he received a good New England common school education, and wrought with his father as carpenter, clerking in Boston a number of years, where he was baptized in 1845, and united with the Baptist Church; and where he imbibed a love of military manoeuvres, joining the Boston Light Artillery. In 1851 he married Miss Anna Holmes, and in 1854 started westward, stopping in Illinois, as a farmer; but his country’s call was loudest and he enlisted Sept. 12, 1861 in Battery G, 2nd Illinois Light Artillery.

'''His Military Record'''

Enlisted as a private in Battery G, Second Regiment Illinois Light Artillery, September 12, 1861.
Commissioned 2nd Lieutenant, Oct. 5, 1861, and 1st Lieutenant, January 15, 1862. Mustered out of service, Feb. 22, 1863, under General Orders from the War Department reducing the number of Officers in the Light Batteries.
Re-enlisted as private in battery D, First Illinois Light Artillery, December 15, 1863. Commissioned 1st Lieutenant, January 15, 1864.
Appointed Captain in Seventh U.S.C. Artillery (Heavy) April 10, 1864.
Appointed Colonel of the Fourth Regiment Enrolled Militia, District of West Tennessee, December 15, 1864, continuing to hold position of Captain in 7th U.S.C. Artillery (Heavy). Regiment disbanded April 12, 1865.
Appointed Colonel Second Regiment Freedmen Enrolled Militia, District of West Tennessee, April 20, 1865. Regiment disbanded July, 1865.
Assigned to duty as Assistant Provost Marshal Freedmen District of West Tennessee, July 1865. Mustered out of service January 12, 1866.
The Seventh U.S.C. Artillery (Heavy) having been changed to the Eleventh U.S.C. Infantry, he was mustered out with that organization, having served nearly four years in six different Regiments and three branches of the service, viz: Light and Heavy Artillery, and Infantry.

In 1869 he came to Kansas, stopping at Waterville, and in 1871 to Waconda, where he built a hotel and had the misfortune to lose his barn and stock by lightning, and where the death angel claimed his only daughter, aged thirteen years. (It was the same spot his only son, Arthur, died in July 1886.)
In 1872 he left Waconda for Cawker and opened a hotel in the Hall (now the 2nd story of the Rothschild store) and in October was appointed Justice of the Peace by Governor Harvey. He was elected county commissioner in 1873, serving two terms, and June 1874, was one of three to lay out the state road, 60 feet wide, from Cawker to Stockton. Then ________________ times; an Aid Society was organized and Colonel Whitney and Dr. A. Patten were authorizer by the governor to be relief agents for Kansas. They visited Boston where concerts were given in Tremont Temple for their fund, also at Cleveland, Ohio.
With the good prospects of 18__ in May he began building the Whitney House, which was quoted as “the best hotel west of St. Louis and that never charged a newspaper man a cent”, an addition being built in 1878 which was opened with an oyster supper and a band of music. Being six feet three inches and weighing from 260 to 300 pounds, it was said: “he needed a ponderous corporosity as a suitable habitat for his big heart and if he had charged his friends for the many courtesies he could have lived at ease in his declining years.” In the new hotel the silver weeding bells rung out for them. He was elected mayor in 1878, and in 1879, when he welcomed the first train to Cawker, and again in 1880, and councilman in 1881, when he furnished supper for 200 to celebrate his 10th anniversary as landlord. In 1882 he invited all the children under 16, and while 154 marched in three rows deep, gave them chicken sandwiches, all kinds of cake, popcorn balls, apples, and candies. Apples meant something in those days.
In 1883 he rented the oak grove on Oak Creek, which he named Lincoln Park and planned it for an ideal spot for recreation. It is now known as Lincoln Park, Chautauqua Grounds. Jan. 1884 he was undersheriff, and July 1884 made Postmaster, when he sold the Whitney House and his successors have respected his wish to not change the name sol long as he shall live. In 1888 he was again mayor, when he and the council procured our fire equipment that has done such efficient service. August 1889 again Postmaster until 1893 and Mayor the fifth time. In 1896 he was elected Department Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, wearing their diamond badge of honor.
Jan. 5, 1901 his friends rang the golden wedding bells; and though his health was on the wane, he served as census enumerator, police judge and justice of the peace; but the last five years has spent most of the time in his chair.
April 1 1907 he was taken to the polls in a carriage, but gangrene set in soon after, confining him to his bed.
He was a member of the I.O.O.F. and had filled all of the chairs up to the Worthy Chief Patriarch of the Encampment wearing the veteran jewel. The Brethren have been constant attendants for him the past two winters, but to his wife he turned to the last, as he said at the golden wedding: “Here through all has been my anchor, my stay and my comfort.”
When he ceased breathing at 8 o’clock Sunday morning, there was no confusion usually attendant upon preparatory services, but the written instructions to the minutest details, were handed to E.N. Woodbury as Marshal of the day, who assigned to each his part. The casket was brought forth which he himself made, fashioned as becoming his rank, using his silk flags for the draping which were presented to him as Colonel of his regiment by the ladies of the ’60’s, dressed in the habiliments worn when following the colors, they laid him in it, and for the cover was the state flag on which were placed his swords and accoutrements; at the head an anchor of flowers by the W.R.C., a wreath by the I.O.O.F. From 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock a continuous line of people passed to take the last look , and at 2 PM the procession formed as per diagram he had prepared. Ninety members of the I.O.O.F. in regalia; the hearse with double guard of honor, one of Brothers and one of Comrades; the widow’s carriage, the W.R.C. on foot, and Reynolds Post and Comrades, fifty in number, led by Past Department Commander P.H. Coney and two drummers, J.B. Searle and Ammon Rogers. A song and prayer at the house, and at the church all the ministers were in the pulpit. The choir sang “Someday we’ll understand.” Rev. Huckell , who has been very near to him in boyhood, manhood, and of late as spiritual friend read from John XIV. Rev. J.A. Bull, whose triple tie of Comrade, Brother, and Christian made strong the links, offered prayer. The choir rendered the anthem the Colonel has selected at the deaths of other members of his family “Prepare to meet thy God”. Justice Clark A. Smith, who had been his friend for 35 years, read his obituary according to promise exacted of him months ago, adding a few personal reminiscences. Rev. McNeel, his present pastor, preached the sermon, saying the text “Set thy house in order,” was so fitting on this occasion, but so also was “For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.” The procession again formed, the new Baptist bell he so much desired to hear, was used for the first time, to toll, 80 strokes, softly given; and at Prairie Grove Cemetery in which he always took so much interest, and where his last work was to prepare his vaulted tomb, the casket was placed; Commander Coney and reynolds Post performing the burial service for a Department officer. As they gave place, Rev. Bull who acted as chaplain, donned the regalia of the I.O.O.F. and continued to serve for them. The drummer boy beat “Taps”, the mortar was spread, the clouds which had shielded all from the heat of the sun slowly dropped their tears.
“Soldier rest thy warfare o’er
Sleep the sleep that knows no waking.
Dream the battle fields no more
Days of danger, nights of waking.”

The following notices accompanied the obituary:

Card of Thanks
Words cannot express the gratitude felt to those who so patiently and faithfully watched and served during the long weary months of pain and sickness of my dear husband. To Brothers, Comrades, friends, and neighbors, and to all who have ministered to us I wish to return sincere thanks.
Mrs. Anna E. Whitney

One sword and several other tokens was left to the grandson, William C. Whitney, another sword and the scrap books are to descend to a nephew, Bert Whitney.

An error in dates occurred in the obituary of Wm. C. Whitney. He was under sheriff Jan. 1884 and made postmaster July 1884. The dispatches in the dailies have placed his marriage after his discharge; but he was married in 1851 and his Colonel (Tom Jackson of Newton, Ks) provided quarters for Mrs. Whitney and children Arthur and Addie. The family were also with him at Memphis and gave receptions at their house.

Bert Whitney, of the Randall News, who is a son of Llewelling (sic) Whitney, the Colonel’s oldest brother, came over Monday for the funeral.

'''From the Civil War Pension File of Stephen S. Whitney'''

'''Company B, 14th Wisconsin Infantry'''

'''Minerva W. Whitney, Widow'''

'''Invalid Application #415275, Certificate #852931'''

'''Widow’s Application #681062, Certificate #472920'''

'''The National Archives Building, Washington, D.C.'''

On 25 March 1890 from Waupaca Co., Wisconsin Stephen S. Whitney signed a Declaration for an Original Invalid Pension. He was enrolled a Private on 7 September 1861 in Company B, 14th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry commanded by Asa Worden, Captain. He was honorably discharged at Shiloh, Tennessee on 1 May 1862. His personal description is: 56 years old; height 5 feet 7 inches; dark complexion; brown hair; hazel eyes. While in the service and in the line of duty at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on or about 15 February 1862 he contracted measles and had a severe sickness from said disease. It left him with a bad cough and weakened condition. He was exposed to wet weather for several days and nights just after the battle of Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee. He took a severe cold which settled in his lungs, causing his previous cough to increase. Also while in said service and line of duty at said Pittsburg Landing he incurred diarrhea on or about 10 April 1862. Said diarrhea continued to affect him until it became chronic. Since his service he has continuously suffered and is now suffering from disease of the lungs and occasionally with chronic diarrhea, and at present also with piles. He was treated at the Regimental Hospital at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin for measles and at the Regimental Hospital at Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee for disease of the lungs and diarrhea. Since leaving the service he has resided in Waupaca Co., Wisconsin where is occupation is carpenter. Prior to his service he was a farmer. He is now 3/4 disabled. His first application had been rejected.

In a declaration in 1898 under a new Pension Act of 27 June 1890, Stephen is now severely deaf in both ears and is totally disabled. In another declaration that year, he remains a resident of Waupaca, Waupaca Co., Wisconsin. On 9 April 1898 Stephen replies to an inquiry from the Bureau of Pensions. He is married to Minerva W. (Gleason) Whitney. They were married 27 January 1859 in Dayton, Waupaca Co., Wisconsin by S.W. Hoyt, J.P. The marriage is recorded in the office of the County Register at Waupaca. Neither had been previously married. They have two living children: Willis W. Whitney, b. 14 December 1859; and Herbert L. Whitney, b. 11 April 1864.

On 4 August 1898 from Waupaca Co., Wisconsin Minerva W. Whitney signed an Application for Accrued Pension (Widows). All information is consistent with previous declarations. She is the widow of Stephen S. Whitney, who died on 29 July 1898.

Minerva subsequently applied for and received a widow’s pension. No further new information is gleaned from her applications. On 8 July 1929 from Tarpon Springs, Florida, Webster Little wrote to the Bureau of Pensions requesting reimbursement for the expenses entailed in the closure of the estate of Minerva W. Whitney. He advises that Minerva died at 1:30 PM 0n 1 July 1929. Mr. H.L. Whitney of Tampa, Florida is the executor of her estate. He is willing to allow the accrued pension benefit be paid to Mr. Little for reimbursement of the expenses.

'''Andrew J. Whitney'''

'''Company B, 9th Illinois Cavalry'''

'''Invalid Application #497234'''

'''Certificate #716178'''

'''The National Archives Building,'''

'''Washington, D.C.'''

On 2 October 1883 from Henry Co., Illinois Andrew Jackson Whitney signed a Declaration for Original Invalid Pension. He is 47 years old and a resident of Genesco, Henry Co., Illinois. He had enrolled on 29 September 1864 in Company B of the 9th Regiment of Illinois Cavalry commanded by T.J. McNair. He was honorably discharged at Montgomery, Alabama on 28 September 1865. His personal description is as follows: 47 years old; 5 feet 11 inches in height; light complexion; brown hair; blue eyes. While in the service of his country and in his line of duty at Eastport, Mississippi on or about April 1865, he contracted rheumatism and diarrhea by reason of exposure to bad weather and improper food. He was treated by the Regimental Surgeon for diarrhea in June 1865. Since leaving the service he has resided at Genesco, Illinois. His occupation has been a laborer since his service. He entered the service a sound and healthy man, and is now partially disabled by his injuries received in the service of his country.

Andrew signed a number of declarations over the years, as his original application was rejected. The following additional information is gleaned. He was born on 7 March 1836 at St. Joseph, Michigan. He continues to suffer from diarrhea and rheumatism. By the age of 76 in 1912 he had removed to Atkinson, Henry Co., Illinois. His discharge date from the service varies with each application, but all in 1865: September 28, September 18, and October 13. By 1920 he has removed back to Genesco, Illinois. In his 1920 application he states that he was a drover prior to his service, and now does odd jobs. His daughter Ida H. Kay attests his identity.

On March 19, 1898 Andrew answered an inquiry from the Bureau of Pensions. He is married to Mrs. Mary Jane Whitney, maiden name Monaghan. They were married on 8 September 1859 in Adrian, Michigan by James A. Clark, Pastor. They have a marriage certificate. He had never been previously married. He has two living children: Ida H. Whitney Kay, born 30 September 1860; and Lucy R. Whitney Higgins, born 30 October 1862.

On 27 March 1915, Andrew answered another inquiry, supplying the same previously mentioned information, with some additions. His wife Mary Jane had passed away in December 1898. Ida’s middle name is Helen, and Lucy’s middle name is Rosamond. Lucy’s date of birth has changed to 23 October 1862.

A recent inspection of his grave marker by a member of the Corinth Historical Society indicates that he died in 1835, and not 1825 as previously transcribed. 1825 was 1 year before his parents were married. He died 3 May 1835, aged 17 months, 20 days.

Also: Brown, Nellie M. Whitney is buried here, b. 1 June 1920, d. 18 Nov. 2011.

Note: The grave marker record of Daniel E. Whitney, who is the son of Ephraim and Nancy (Skinner) Whitney, is transcribed in error. A recent inspection of his grave marker by a member of the Corinth Historical Society indicates that he died in 1835, and not 1825 as previously transcribed. 1825 was 1 year before his parents were married. He died 3 May 1835, aged 17 months, 20 days.

Note: As per probate records, five children were living during 1840, with one child having deceased at 15 months in 1834. It appears that the male enumerated as born between 1835 and 1840 was incorrectly placed in the wrong column, instead of reflecting the actual age of William P. Whitney (born circa 1829) as one male born 1825 to 1830, thereby mirroring the 1830 census data. absent from this 1840 census is daughter Sarah L. Whitney, born circa 1816/17 who had wed William N. Thompson in 1833.

'''Probate Records''':

From the Piscataquis County, Maine Probate Court Records at Dover-Foxcroft:

* Docket #0-7A, Jonathan Whitney, deceased intestate. On February 6, 1838, Sarah D. Whitney of Dover, Penobscot County (shortly thereafter Piscataquis County) petitioned the Judge of Probate (files at both Penobscot and Piscataquis County) to allow her to administer the will of her late husband Jonathan Whitney of Dover, he having assets and property, and stating that he deceased May last [1837]. Bond was set initially at $200.00 by William Williamson, Judge of Probate, with a subsequent document stating $400.00; sureties were Caleb Prentiss, William Dinsmore and Sarah D. Whitney. An inventory of the estate was ordered for submission on May 6, 1839, in all likelihood the approximate year anniversary of the death of Jonathan W. Whitney. As well, three estate notices were ordered published consecutively in the Eastern Republican, Bangor, Maine. At the subsequent court session held in March of 1838 at Dover, then Penobscot County, Sarah D. Whitney made additional remunerative requests of the court. Further documents from Docket 0-7A show that Sarah D. Whitney widow of Jonathan Whitney late of Dover (now Piscataquis County) was appointed administrator in December of 1838. The file holds another administrative document dated February 19, 1839.

Note: Initial Penobscot County estate documentation also references Probate proceedings as recorded in Volume 7. Piscataquis County came into existence on March 23, 1838, the new County Seat designated as the Dover-Foxcroft area. This fact explains in part the reason for earlier probate documents (Docket #0-7A) and later guardianship files (Docket #0-34) appearing in both Penobscot and Piscataquis Counties, viz the place of residence for widow Sarah D. Whitney at Dover shifted from Penobscot to Piscataquis County during probate proceedings.

From Piscataquis County Probate File 0-7A, Jonathan Whitney:

"We acknowledge that we have received due notice of the pendency of a petition of Sarah D. Whitney for a license to sell real estate to pay debts and charges against the estate of Jonathan Whitney deceased.

June 20, 1840

[Estate Principals] Wm. N. Thompson, Sarah L. Thompson, Elizabeth W. Whitney, James Whitney, Lydia P. Whitney, Wm. P. Whitney"

Note: The aforementioned Notice dated June 20, 1840 relative to the pending sale of real estate includes the names of all five living children of Sarah D. Whitney, with the exception of William N. Thompson, husband of oldest daughter Sarah L. (Whitney) Thompson. Children named throughout the probate file are Sarah L. Thompson, Elizabeth W. Whitney, James W. Whitney, Lydia P. Whitney, and William P. Whitney. Of some interest, it should be further noted here that in the case of Lydia, in varying documents her middle initial is sometimes written as "B", and at other times as "P", the latter having more substantiation.

* Docket #0-34, Guardianship of Minor Children. This file contains a number of documents related to the eventual sale of property at Dover for the support of three minor children of Sarah D. Whitney, namely James W. Whitney, Lydia P. Whitney and William P. Whitney. The property described was the homestead farm of Jonathan Whitney where Jonathan was living at the time of his decease, and through which each minor would receive an undivided fifth part of the estate, subject to the Widow's Dower (Right of Dower) for Sarah D. Whitney. One document of Sarah D. Whitney dated June 7, 1842 petitions the court for the right to sell an unproductive piece of property, the proceeds then placed into an interest account for the minor children. Intent to sell the farm was to be published on three consecutive weeks in the "Piscataquis Farmer", a newspaper printed at Dover. Other dated Guardianship documents of Sarah D. Whitney include:

* August 1842 - granted a license to sell real estate, provided she gives a thirty day notice by posting sale in the surrounding towns.

* March 7, 1843 - Sarah D. Whitney gives oath regarding the disposition of the estate, with reference to the three minor heirs of Jonathan Whitney, deceased.

* March 9, 1843 - Sarah D. Whitney gives notice to the court that she will sell at private sale the dwelling house occupied by herself in Dover on Monday the 10th day of April next at 1:00 in the afternoon.

* April 10, 1843 - Sale of Dover real estate.

In this file reference is made to Probate Volume 1, pp. 85, 300, 324 (Decree on petition to sell real estate), and 381 (Certificate of Notice given on sale of real estate).

Notes: Sureties on the sale of the property were Sarah D. Whitney, William N. Thompson and Prince Gorham, bond in the amount of $500.00; E. W. Snow, Judge of Probate. Documents in this file were also signed by Charles Chandler, Justice of Peace. One document is witnessed by Sarah L Thompson and Judith D. Spaulding (this given name again seen later in the naming of grandchildren of Sarah D. Whitney).

'''Notes for future researchers''':

1. Research Note: Confirm any newspaper Death Notices for Jonathan Whitney in the environs of Bangor, Maine, more particularly the Eastern Republican and the Whig & Courier.

2. Research Note: Access area newspapers for the obituary of Elizabeth W. True.

3. Research Note: Examine Penobscot Registry of deeds for a possible move by Jonathan Whitney to Corinth shortly after the 1830 census of Sangerville, perhaps 1833. Reason: Nancy B. Whitney, daughter of Jonathan appears to be the first documented as buried in this Corinthian family Cemetery lot 1/12, date 1834. The question having some interest is 'who is George L. Hosmer, the documented owner of the Corinthian Cemetery lot'? Some thoughts: Since Lot Hosmer is at Farmington, Franklin County, Maine in 1850 & 1860, and that a Reuben T. Hosmer, age 42, is also there in 1850 with a son George L. Hosmer, age 14, (mother Hannah S. Hosmer, age 37) could it be that Lot is actually George Lot Hosmer. This may mean that Reuben, born 1808 and probable son of Lot, named his son after his father, and further, that Joseph B. Hosmer did also name one of his sons George B. T. Hosmer. Thus, one may surmise that either Lot earlier was at Corinth, owned the burial lot before moving to Farmington, or by right of succession, Reuben's son George L. Hosmer inherited the burial lot? Another suspected son of Lot also lives at Farmington during this time, he born 1810, meaning if correct sons were born 1808, 1810 and Joseph in late 1812. Examine census data 1810/1820/1830/1840 for George or Lot Hosmer to possibly place him at Corinth. Also Registry of Deeds for Penobscot County where Corinth is situated.
