Re: Welcome New Member!

Hello everyone! I'm back from a glorious week in Grand Cayman. Have weeded through all my e-mail messages & have a new member to add to our group! Please welcome Ron Whitney who has this to say about his ancestors. Anyone with information to assist Ron, get in touch! :-) Jeanne


I got your name from Mary Ann Lindsay as a possible contact for my family tree search. I don't know what the protocol is, so I will tell you what I know, or think I know about my ancestors.

Edgar (or Edwin) Whitney was born in England. Married Frances Hope who was from Stockport, England. They had four children. The oldest son Iscca (probably Isacc) was born in England. The others; Sabina, Alfred, & Oliver Cromwell Hope William Whitney were born in New Jersey. Edgar started for the west (leaving his family in New Jersey) to look for a new home; got as far as Louisiana, contracted Yellow Fever and died. His wife brought the family to live in Iowa at a later date.

Sabina married someone named Smith and died in Seattle, Washington abt 1928-1930.

Oliver Cromwell... was born August 31, 1848 in Bloomfield Twp., Essex Co., New Jersey. He married Elizabeth Ellen Polen. They had four children; Winnifred, Oliver F., Frances May Margette, & Edward Nelson.

He married a second wife Marion Cameron who was born about 1870. They had three children; Iva, Olive Marion, & Dewey.

From the first marriage, Edward died at age 6. Don't know about Winnifred. Frances married Fred Radtke and lived to 106 (most of this info is from her). Oliver F. is my grandfather, born in 1879 in Iowa and died in 1909 in Britton, South Dakota.

From the second marriage I only know that Iva married an R. D. Atherton and lived in Westminster, California.

Oliver Cromwell... died April 24, 1928 in Cody, Wyoming. Other than the above, I have a letter to him from a Bessie (Whitney) Bell dated March 27, 1928 from Mondamin, Iowa. It was signed "your niece".

This is all I know. If any of this information ties in with what you have, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Ron and Roxie Whitney
