Hi WRG. Since this is our first experience with this new technology, I'm not quite sure how much information to put in here, but I'll give it a try. I am participating in the WRG DNA study and that has definitively tied me in with others related to John (1) so I know my grandmother's information was correct. What I have not been able to determine is who Joseph Whitney's wife was (John, John, John, Timothy, Joseph). My grandmother showed two daughters born to her apparently in a previous marriage. She is listed as a widow with two daughters. Her last name was given as Palmer, but I do not know if that was her maiden or married name and have not been able to determine anything about her. Two daughters are listed in my grandmother's records as "Mrs. Gurney" and "Mrs. Content Fuller." So, anyone with any information or suggestions is welcome to chip in. There is apparently some confusion in Pierce regarding the listing of children which I will edit in this new format when I find the time. When their son Palmer was born, they were living in Warwick, MA. Later they moved to Gilsum, NH, and later apparently to Lima, NY, where he "was killed by a falling tree." Have not been able to verify this.

A little about me. Born in northwestern Illinois. Purchased four weekly newspapers with my father in 1967. He had worked for the papers for 34 years prior to our purchasing them. Combined them into one in 1970 (The Carroll County Review, Thomson, IL). Served as president of the Illinois Press Association in 1985. Currently serving as a board member of the Illinois Press Foundation, both based in Springfield, IL. Was named Illinois Journalist of the Year in 2005. Am very active in my community.

Note for Tim and Robert: If the above is too much, too personal, or material you think should not be included, please advise and I will delete it (or, you may).
