Family:Whitney, Geoffrey (c1548-1601)

2014-10-16T22:53:50Z

WhitBlauvelt:

'''Geoffrey Whitney'''
([[Family:Whitney, Geoffrey (s1520-?)|Geoffrey]]),
son of [[Family:Whitney, Geoffrey (s1520-?)|Geoffrey Whitney]], was born about 1548, Coole Pilate, Cheshire, England.

"That the family spread beyond Cheshire is clear from the will of Geoffrey Whitney, son of an earlier Geoffrey. Born at Coole Pilate about 1548, he attended both Oxford and Cambridge, was under-bailiff of Great Yarmouth, county Norfolk, 1580-86, and admitted to the university at Leyden 1 March 1586 (Joseph Foster, Alumni Oxoniensis ... 1500-1714, 4 vols. [London, 1887-92], 4:1623]; John and J. A. Venn, Alumni Cantbrigiensis, Pt. 1, 4 vols. [Cambridge, 1922-27], 4:396]; and Dictionary of National Biography). His will, dated 11 September 1600 and proved 28 May 1601 (PCC 33 Woodhall), mentioned many relatives, including his brother, Brooke Whitney, of Oxford and Berkshire (PCC 100 Byrde) [probably a great-grandson of the Whitney-Brooke alliance], Geoffrey Whitney, of Draiton, Shropshire (citizen and merchant tailor of London, PCC 15 Bolein), and Walter Whitney, citizen and plasterer of London (Commissary Court of London, Orig. Will, 1608) ..."{{ref|1}}

He wrote the poem, "To Richard Cotton, Esq.", and the book ''A Choice of Emblemes'' (Leyden: 1586).

Apparently he was never married and had no children.

[[Family:Whitney, Richard (1624-a1691)|Richard2]],
[[Family:Whitney, John (1592-1673)|John1]]),
son of [[Family:Whitney, Josiah (1731-1806)|Josiah5 and Sarah (Dwelly) Whitney]],
was born 25 Oct 1786, Harvard, MA,{{ref|1}} and died 18 Apr 1869, New York, NY.

He married, 10 Mar 1808, Boston, MA, '''Hannah Shedd''',{{ref|2}} of Waltham, MA.

Daniel Whitney was born in Massachusetts. He was a master mason builder, and moved with his family from Boston, MA, in 1825, on a sloop with all his worldly goods and family consisting of ten children. It took a week to make the trip. He resided in New York City, and died at the age of 82. He made all the arrangements for his funeral one year before he died - chose eight pall bearers from among his most intimate friends of long standing. He had a presentiment one year before he died that he would die that year. There are many elegant residences standing now that he erected. He was very active after the great fire of 1835. He resided Waltham and Boston, MA, and New York City, NY.
