Hello, Annabel!

There is some confusion in the early generations you list here. That, however, is all moot until you make the connection!

Peter was b. 10 Apr 1738, Willington, CT, son of Josiah and Mehitable (FULLER) WHITNEY, and d. 19 Jun 1826, Tunbridge, VT. He m. 21 Apr 1763, Tolland, CT, Mercy CASE, b. 3 Aug 1745, Tolland, CT, dau. of Jonathan and Alice (HATCH) CASE, and d. 19 Apr 1819, Tunbridge, VT. I have the following children for Peter and Mercy (CASE) WHITNEY:

1. Molly, b. 16 Mar 1764, Willington, CT, d. 1783.
2. Jonathan, b. 20 Feb 1766, Willington, CT (see below).
3. Lois, b. 30 Mar 1768, Willington, CT.
4. Thomas, b. 18 Sep 1770, Willington, CT.
5. Rebecca, b. 15 Aug 1773 or 1772, Willington, CT.
6. Anna, b. 12 Sep 1774, Willington, CT, d. 9 Mar 1853, m. ----- PRESTON.
7. Peter, b. 31 Oct 1776, Willington, CT.
8. Esther, b. 1 Nov 1778, Ashford, CT.
9. Lydia, b. 10 Feb 1781, Ashford, CT.

10. Marcy, b. 16 Mar 1784. 11. Molly, b. 16 Mar 1784. I have no further record of any of these children except Jonathan:

Jonathan WHITNEY, b. 20 Feb 1766, Willington, CT, son of Peter and Mercy (CASE) WHITNEY, d. 12 Apr 1853, Tunbridge, VT. He m.(1) 15 Dec 1796, Tunbridge, VT, Eunice STOREY, b. 4 Nov 1779, d. 9 Sep 1804. They had:

1. Zabad, b. 10 Dec 1797, d. 19 Apr 1830, Tunbridge, VT.
2. Zebina, b. 9 Dec 1799, d. 16 May 1890, Royalton, VT; m. 3 Nov 1825,

Harriet

    COZZENS (b. 2 Mar 1800, Glocester, RI, d. 12 Mar 1869, Royalton, VT.
3. Polly, b. 21 Nov 1801, d. 28 May 1848, m. ----- DEWEY.
4. Roswell, b. 15 Oct 1803.

He m.(2) 2 Jan 1806, Hartford, VT, Dora MARSH, d. 25 Sep 1806. They had no children. He m.(3) 17 Mar 1808, Stockbridge, VT, Zilpha HOLT, d. 8 May 1830. They had:

5. Rebecca, b. 25 Jun 1811.
6. Laura Fiske, b. 24 Jul 1813.
7. Roswell, b. -- Oct 1815.
8. Albert Gallatin, b. 27 Jul 1817, Tunbridge, VT.
9. James Monroe, b. 4 Nov 1821.

I know nothing further of the descendants of Peter. If you find out more, please let me know.

Some of the above data is from the WITNEY12.GED file. Some is from the LDS International Genealogical Index. Some is from the Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records, for Willington and Ashford, CT.

Robert

Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 15:16:26 -0500 To: whitney-l@rootsweb.com From: Margie and George Parker <mandg@math.siu.edu> Subject: Re: Annabel Bixby's request on Josiah and Peter WHitney Cc: hrbixby@ix.netcom.com

There is major error in this line given in Annabel's note -- Pierce and those who follow him have erred. They confuse two sets of Josiahs. The Josiah Sr and Jr mentioned in her note both died and were buried in Wrentham.

The Josiah Jr. of Willington CT who married Mehitable Fuller is the son of Josiah and Merriam who moved to Willington in 1729.

Merriam is probably Merriam Barrett. The births of their children are in the Chelmsford MA VR and also appear in the Willington Records that I saw in Willington about ten years ago (probably a local copy of the Barbour records).

I have an original deed from Josiah Whitney to his son Josiah Jr dated AFTER the death of Jonathan's son Josiah (it is at home and I am at work so do not have the date at hand). I believe it is witnessed by Mehitable Fuller's father and was before the marriage to Mehitable. Both of the Willington Josiah's were buried in CT.

I descend from this Josiah Jr: Josiah -> Josiah Jr -> Peter -> Jonathan -> Zebina -> Charles C -> Alice R (who married Daniel Parker) -> Wilmond Parker -> me (George D. Parker)

I have a family Bible that was printed in 1818 and that belonged to Jonathan son of Peter. It says that the elder Josiah was born in Groton Ma about 1688. I have conjectured that he is an unrecorded son of Joshua Whitney and Abigail Tarbell. Robert L Ward (see his web pages www.erols.com.rlward1/) conjectures that Josiah is the son of Benjamin who was the brother of Joshua. Benjamin moved to Maine and then back, but I have seen nothing to put him in the Groton/Chelmsford area.

In the history of Groton there is a letter from the town fathers to the governor that discusses the status of the town during some Indian troubles in 1707. This includes two lists -- those who are contemplating leaving town and those who already have. Among those on the list of the having already left are Cornelius and Josiah Whitney. Cornelius is a son of Joshua.

I have looked at all the printed histories I could of Groton and this is the only reference to Josiah I have found. I have seen something (was it in Pierce???) that indicated somebody thought that Josiah was really Joshua on this list. But the reference in the Groton history is very clearly Josiah. Somebody would have to find the original letter and check.

I have all the children of Peter WHitney and Mercy Case, but not much on them except for Jonathan. Peter moved to Tunbridge VT with his son Jonathan. I am not aware that other of Peter's children came north. I believe Mercy was dead by this time. By the way, I believe that Mercy Case has been proved to be a descendant of Richard Warren (Mayflower). I have the info at home and would be glad to share. I believe the list in Pierce is correct. The land in VT was a grant to Peter for Revolutionary war service but primarily settled by Jonathan. I have the powder horn that Peter carried in the Revolution.

Dear Annabel,

You should have received Robert Ward's reply by now. I want to put in a few more cents,

The information he gives with regards to the children of Peter and Mercy agrees with the WHitney family Bible that belonged to Jonathan Whitney, son of Peter with a few exceptions:

1) Every reference there is to Marcy, instead of Mercy

2) Mercy/Marcy Case b 15 Aug 1745

3) Lois is listed as Louis and b 31 Mar 1768

My records say that Jonathan m Eunice Story in Randolph VT (my home town!)

Pierce's Whitney Genealogy (which has errors!) has your Calvin Eaton. He says that Peter Whitney son of Peter WHitney m (1) Edith Davis and (2) Sybil Ainsworth. He was a blacksmith. He d 1838, resided in Hartford VT. Children:

Sybil b Hartford, m ____ Smith, resided So. Royalton Erastus Paschal P. b Dec. 13, 1806, m Malvina Stillman Amanda Melvina m Sept 12 1832 CALVIN EATON res Concord NH Mary Maria m 1838 Albert Langmaid, res Concord NH Jane Horace His name was changed to Eaton, resided Boston George L b Aug 17 1825 m Caroline Jane Goss

The above needs to be verified, but it gives you a start.

Mercy Case was the daughter of Jonathan Case and Alice Hatch Alice Hatch was the daughter of Joseph Hatch 2nd and Mercy Delano Mercy Delano was the daughter of Jonathan Delano and Mercy Warren Mercy Warren was the daughter of Nathaniel Warren and Sarah Walker Nathaniel Warren was the son of Richard Warren and wife Elizabeth

The proofs for Richard Warren to Alice Hatch is contained in the Mayflower Families in Progress report for Richard Warren (fifth edition). I have had private communication (will have to locate) from one of the compilers of that volume that verified Alice was the mother of Mercy Case who m Peter Whitney. When that MFIP volume goes to 5 generations from the current 4 I expect that the connection to Mercy Case will be included.

The deed I mentioned from Josiah Whitney Senior to Josiah Whitney Junior was dated March 12, 1736. Note Josiah m Mehitabel Fuller Mar 2, 1737. The deed is witnessed by Thomas Fuller and his wife Mehitabel (Herring) who signed her mark. Thomas is the brother of Daniel who was the pastor of the Congregational Church in Willington 1728-1758. The deed is marked as Recorded Dec 13 1744.

ENjoy!

Dear Whitney Cousins,

A couple of months ago I sent you a message telling you I'd obtained some photos of three of my Whitney ancestors. The photos are of my gggg-grandfather, Benjamin Morse Whitney (Micah, Abel, Nathaniel, Benjamin, John/Elinor), his son Royal Thaxter Whitney, and Royal's wife Sarah Louisa Lambert. I've posted them on my website at http://www.tomatoweb.com/graham, for your viewing and downloading pleasure.

If you are interested in obtaining copies, please let me know and I'll email you the gory financial details.

Yours genetically, Gene Graham (Stella Daves, Dorothy Davenport, Ernest Davenport, Inez Whitney, Royal, Benjamin, Micah, Abel, Nathaniel, Benjamin, John/Elinor)

I have been meaning to send this in (see below) and after getting Robert's email regarding the Lineage Page change, decided to do it. I am still looking for any help in determining if Sarah Whitney, widow of Simon Maynor (sp), did marry David Pierce.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone who sent on their congrats! I feel as if I'm in a bubble -- and I dare anyone to burst it. For the past few days, I've spent most of my time digging through records (both on and off the web) for anyone in my direct line. Here are some of the questions I still have.

Abigail Fletcher, wife of Samuel-5 Whitney (William-4, Nathaniel-3, John-2, John-1) -- does anyone know more about her? I need birth, death and parents.

John-7 Whitney, son of Abner-6 and Elizabeth Glazier, born 28 Jul 1772 Westminster, Mass., married Susannah Smith on 4 Feb 1796 in Westminster. Had one known child: Benjamin Whitney born 17 Sep 1796.

John ~may~ be the one shown in the "Whitney Obituaries, 1784-1840, as shown on Robert Ward's web site <http://www.erols.com/rlward1/whitney/obit.htm> as: WHITNEY, John, d. in Westminster, aged 32 (C.C. July 1, 1802)

and possibly the same as shown in the Westminster VRs as: WHITNEY, John, June 25, 1802, in 33rd year. G.S.1.

Per Robert Ward, "He is also probably the one in the Worcester County Probate Index:

 1802  WHITNEY, John  Westminster  Administration  #64911"

If John died at age 32, he left behind a 6 year old son. Did his wife, Susannah (Smith) Whitney remarry? I cannot locate any records on her.

Thanks!

There are probably two coats of arms because there were two families named WHITNEY who were entitled to bear arms.

Don't get too worked up about the WHITNEY coats of arms. Our connection to any families entitled to bear arms is unproven. Don't believe everything you read in Melville! The parentage of Thomas WHITNEY of Westminster (m. Mary BRAY) is currently not known. If you want details of this matter, write back to me, and I will send you copies of two articles discussing the merits or lack thereof of the allegations made by Melville.

Aside from that, I fear that I am unable to assist you with the rest of your question.

Regards,

Robert

As a new subscriber to WRG, I am interested if anyone knows why the Whitney Coat-of-Arms on the front of the Melville book is different than the one inside? Also, I'm interested in buying a detailed, color reproduction of the Coat-of-Arms and has anyone reproduced the map in the Melville book? Any help would be appreciated.

I am also interested in finding any descendants of the Whitneys who were river boat captains on the Mississippi River (Andrew Jackson Whitney, Frank Whitney, Henry Brooks Whitney) during the second half of the 1800's-early 1900's.

Subject: Query about an obituary

The following is the obit for my grandmother's sister, Gertrude.

"Mrs. Fred Braman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Whitney died Friday morning at her home in Worcester, Mass. She had been ill for some time but of late there had been much to encourage all of her recovery, causing her death to be a greater shock to all. Mrs. Braman was one who had excellent qualities, giving her a pleasing personality which endeared her to all and her death will be deeply mourned by relatives and friends. She is survived by her husband and little daughter to whom she was a devoted wife and mother. Much sympathy is extended to all sorrowing ones. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney left Saturday morning to be present at the funeral."

The date of the obit was not included in the copy I have. It most likely appeared in a Granville, NY area newspaper as that is where her parents livedBased on the information I have I know she died between 1931 and 1939. Is anyone familiar with this family or have access to VRs during that time so I can pinpoint the date? Also, I'd like to know her daughter's name.

Any help would be appreciated.

Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 17:31:43 -0700 From: knights <knights@badger.tds.net> To: wrg <WHITNEY-L@rootsweb.com> Subject: A.W.Whitney

In "History of Windsor County, Pt.2" (Vermont) p. 851 there is a biographical sketch about John D. Powers. It contains a reference as follows: "For the next twenty years he was an employee of the Daniels' Machine Company of Woodstock, and afterwards with A. W. Whitney & Co. for five years. He then again turned his attention to farming, which he followed until his retirement from active business in 1875."

Is anyone familiar with this company? I have not found any reference to it in this history with this exception.

Who was the owner/owners, where was it located and what type of business?

See <http://www.erols.com/rlward1/whitney/correct.html#Josh1635a>, where I discuss this matter in detail.

I believe that Sarah WHITNEY who m. Nathaniel JEWELL was not the oldest daughter of Joshua. I believe that the Sarah, b. 10 Oct 1668, must have died, and a second, younger Sarah born, between Eleanor and Martha. That would be consistent with a marriage date of 11 Jul 1704, when the first Sarah would have been nearly 36 years old, and with the age of Nathaniel JEWELL, who was b. 10 Nov 1678 (10 years after the Sarah of 1668). Furthermore, Sarah (WHITNEY) JEWELL had her last child Hannah JEWELL, b. Dec 6, 1720, Plainfield, CT, when the 1668 Sarah would have been 52--a bit of a stretch!

While she has *not* been proven *not* to be a daughter, that is not the issue. The evidence of the will very strongly suggests that she was not. The burden of proof is on whomever asserts that she was a daughter. I have not seen any evidence of it other than Bond and H. A. Whitney, who were probably not independent of each other.

By the way, it seems to me that with a somewhat unusual given name like Alice, one might be able to locate a likely candidate b. ca. 1673 among other families in and around Groton for the wife of Nathaniel WOODS. This would be a rather large project, surveying all the families in Groton and neighboring towns in the 1690s, but presumably feasible. Then perhaps one could settle the matter of her identity once and for all!

Correct.

Seemingly so.

I think it more likely that Hannah was b. ca. 1670, and by the first wife, Mary. I have already given reasons why I believe Alice was not a daughter of Joshua.

I rather think that Hannah and Abigail were by different wives, Hannah by Mary, and Abigail by Abigail.

Dear Vickie and Robert:

As I puzzled through the will, it occurred to me that Joshua's chronologically eldest daughter is actually Sarah Whitney Juell/Jewell, whose name is buried amongst the other five daughters now living.

As to the other two references to "eldest daughter", your discussion and Robert's posting shows no mention of the Alice Whitney (b. ca 1673) who married Nathaniel Woods, and who would have been alive when the will was written in 1713, but dead by the time it was executed in 1719. Have I missed recording the fact that she has been shown NOT to have been a daughter of Joshua and Abigail?

A) The eldest daughter of his marriage to his "now wife" Abigail, was Abigail Whitney Hutchins, but at the time of the writing of the will, she is already deceased.

B) If Alice Whitney Woods is actually a daughter of Joshua and Abigail, that would leave her as the eldest surviving daughter of his marriage to Abigail .

C) The thought that Hannah, for whom my understanding is that there is no know birth record, would have to come in the birth sequence right after Abigail, would lead to the suspicion that Alice Whitney Woods, who had to have been married by sometime in 1693, was either a third child of Mary Buckminster or not the daughter of Deacon Joshua.

The two references to "eldest daughter(s), both of them products of his later marriage, suggests that he kept the two families somewhat separate in his mind, although I can't say that Sarah Whitney Jewell's place in the order in which he presented his legatees in his will goes very far in demonstrating that.

I'll be most interested to see if this can be further clarified.

drove a horse-drawn coupe in Brattleboro over 30 years. In 1912 he bought a Ford touring car with which to replace his horse-drawn vehicle. He sold the business in August 1916, to Frank A Larrow, but remained in Mr. Larrow's employ for a time. Later he resumed business for himself, using his horse-drawn carriage. He gave up active work about four years ago.

Dear Whitney researchers,

    Hi, my name is Jennifer Errett and I just joined the list. This is what I

have so far on my Whitney connection.

David Loveless b. abt. Mar 16, 1765 (NY) calculated by affidavit signed on the 20th of Apr. 1818 (in Saratoga Co. NY residing in Hadley) stating that he was 53 yrs. 1 Mo. And 4 dys. Old. He married Mary Whitney (Florence Robertson's book "The Lovelace/Loveless and Allied Families" states her first name as May) since the War of 1812. In a statement by one William Johnson, (dated the 9th of January 1858 Bradford Co. PA) he testifies to the fact that David Loveless and Mary Whitney were married after 1814 (does not know exact date). He also says he was present at the wedding which took place in Luzerne Co. (now Wyoming) which preformed by the Justice of the Peace by one Mr. (looks like) Stevens. He also testifies that Joseph is indeed the son of David Loveless and Mary Whitney. William Johnson (age about 58) also states that his wife (at the time deceased, no name mentioned) was the sister to Mary Whitney. Another affidavit signed the 2nd of July, 1857 (Bradford Co. PA) by one Martin and Mary Johnson (have not figured connection between Johnson families yet) testifies that David and Mary Loveless are indeed the parents of Elizabeth (age 28), Julia (age 30 and my 3greats-grandmother), and Joseph (age 19). They also testify they lived in the neighborhood of the residence of David and Mary Loveless (that would be Braintrim Twp., Luzerne (now Wyoming), PA) at the time of Joseph's birth. They also state that Mary Loveless died in the Spring of 1846 and David died about the Fall of 1845. However David died (according to an obituary from Wyoming Co.) January 17, 1845 in Braintrim (Twp.), PA and is buried at Overfield Cemetery, Meshoppen, PA. I have not checked the cemetery records for Mary yet but will soon.

I have more on my line descending from Julia Loveless. Does anyone connect to Mary Whitney or know of a Whitney who married a William Johnson? Hope to hear from you soon.

Good morning WRG,

Most of my recent Whitneys are in the Ontario Cty, NY area, I believe, just below Erie County. I do have a couple of Charlotte Whitney's in my lineage. However they were born Whitneys and married so I doubt their tombstone would read Whitney.

The line (from Capt. Jonathan-5, Jonathan-4, Jonathan-3, Benjamin-2, John-1) that came to Ontario Cty in approx 1795 was very prolific and there were many many of them spread far and wide throughout the area. I have not added many of the sibling's families to my computer databank. I will look through Pierce later today to see if another Charlotte jumps up. (out of the book...not the tombstone :-o )

Hi Linda,

I have Whitney's in Erie County. Angola is not too far from where they resided. Mine were located in Langford starting in 1865. I visited the area this past June and did locate their graves in the St Martins Catholic Cemetery in Langford. Based off of census records, they don't appear to have had a Charlotte in the family. Mine is a Charles Whitney, b 1823 MA, died 1902, buried Langford. I've been hunting for his death certificate without much luck. I'm trying to determine who is parents were. Prior to 1865, they were in Jackson Township, Putnam Co, OH and later after 1880, a son returned to Ohio for a while.

Barb Oliver was/is on this list and she has Whitney ancestors in Aurora - descendents of William Henry Whitney and Fanny Miller. They had numerous children and I don't think much work has been done on their lines.

I do have Chautauqua Co Whitney data taken from the Dunkirk Observer newspaper and some early 1900 city directories.

Keep in touch. I'd be interested in keeping track of those guys.

Dear Colleen, Ellen, and WRG's,

   Whoops, Ellen is right. I did find the story late last night, and it

was J.D.Whitney of Brattleboro and here it is, from "Gazetteer and Business Directory of Windham County, VT., 1724-1884" compiled by Hamilton Child;published July 1884, pg 92-93:

"J.D.Whitney & Son, organ reed manufacturers. ---Josiah Davis Whitney was

born in Ashby, Mass., November 7, 1818. When old enough to use tools(perhaps fifteen or sixteen) he began to work in the shop of his father, Jonas P. Whitney, who was a manufacturer of church organs. When twenty-one years of age he was taken into partnership and continued to make church organs until 1844, when he removed to Springfield, Mass., and engaged in the manufacture of melodeons, pianos, and church organs. In 1851 he removed to Fitchburg, Mass., where he was employed by his father in making melodons or reed organs. He removed to Worcester, Mass., in 1853, where he formed a partnership with Messrs. Rice & Robinson, for the manufacture of organ reeds. He remained in Worcester only one year and then went back to Fitchburg, and soon after got up a set of reed machinery and commenced making reeds. In 1865 Messrs J. Estey & Co., of Brattleboro, purchased the machinery, and Mr. Whitney was hired by them to run it. He remained with Estey & Co., until 1874, the last eight years working by contract, when he sold them the machinery he had invented during his stay with them, and for a year or two went out of business. About 1876, he commenced a new set of machinery, with which he began to make reeds in 1878, in Harmony block{? location in Brattleboro}. July 1, 1879, he took his son, Edwin D. Whitney, into partnership, under the firm name of J.D. Whitney & Son. They are now located in Harmony block and manufacture over half a million organ reeds a year, which are almost entirely used by the Wilcox & White Organ Co. of Meriden, Conn. They employ two men, the machinery being so nearly automatic as to require very much less help than formerly to do the same amount of work." I hope this story may connect with someone in the group, at any rate, it is an interesting account of another Whitney inventor! JAN

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading discussions of the WRG. A recent exchange of messages from Annabel Bixby, Robert Ward, and George Parker touched on my line of the John and Elinor Whitney family ( Albert Lotall (10), Albert Radenbaugh (9), Albert Galitan (8), Wait (7), Thomas (6), Peter (5), Josiah (4), Josiah (3), Jonathan (2), John (1)).

My cousin, Adriane (Whitney) Fredrickson, prepared a Whitney genealogy for a history course in 1988. Her extensive research included time spent in Boston, Watertown, Weston, etc. to examine vital records, maps, plots, grave stones, etc. I will encourage her to visit Robert Wards web site and to join the Whitney Research Group.

I would very much like Adrianne to contribute her work to the specific discussion around Josiah Sr, Josiah Jr., and Peter. For example, Adrianne's information has Josiah Sr. b. May 19, 1664 m1, Abigail; m2, Mary; d. 1717. Josiah Jr. b. 1698; m1, Elizabeth Grant, February 28, 1725; m2, Mehitable Fuller, 1737; m3, Lydia Ballard, February 1759; d. June 26, 1783. Peter Whitney, b. April 10, 1738; m. Mercy Case, April 21, 1763; d. June 19, 1826.

Adrianne's research includes a lot of information on the children of Peter, and some on the lines beyond.

What a joy to see the rich contributions made by each of the WRG members! Thank you all for your diligent work!

Best Regards, Gregory Whitney Bloomington, MN gsw7449@aol.com

Hello WRG: Michael Maynard <maynard@hancock.net> has sent me his line of descent, and I have today imported his full gedcom into our HENRY WHITNEY of Connecticut database. Michael's gedcom added 248 individuals and 56 marriages -- descendants of ELIZABETH WHITNEY and MILES RIGGS. This information will be posted in the future update of the gedcom. In the meantime, should anyone need any information on the WHITNEY/RIGGS descendants, let me know.

ELIZABETH-4 WHITNEY (Joseph-3, John-2, Henry-1) who was born 1717 and died Aug 1815. Elizabeth married, as her first husband, MILES RIGGS, son of Joseph Riggs, on 26 Jun 1735. Miles Riggs was born 7 Jun 1697 and died 24 Dec 1753. They had 9 children.

One of their 9 children was already in our database: ESTHER RIGGS (b. Nov 1752; d. 7 May 1816) married ABRAHAM ROCKWELL (b. 5 Oct 1749; d. 7 Aug 1818). Abraham Rockwell also descends from Henry Whitney. His grandmother, Elizabeth-3 Whitney married Joseph Keeler. His line is thus: Abraham, Elizabeth Keeler, Joseph Keeler and Elizabeth-3 Whitney, John-2 Whitney and Elizabeth Smith, Henry-1 Whitney.

Hi folks,

I am sorting through some papers and actually getting them organized! In reviewing photocopies of books, I found the following reference and am wondering if anyone came claim this Franklin Whitney.

In the book "History of Anoka County and the Towns of Champli and Dayton in Hennepin County Minnesota" by Albert M Goodrich. Anoka Bicentennial Commission 1976 page 309 Biographical

"Franklin Whitney was born in Cumberland Co., Maine, Sept 21, 1830. When a young man he followed the sea, principally in the West India trade; later he came west and engaged in railroad construction in Ohio. In 1855 he came to St Francis, Anoka Co., settling the next summer in Oak Grove, where he lived until the time of his death, Jan. 19, 1899. Mr. Whitney served in the state legislature two terms, and a number of years as county commissioner. He was postmaster at Oak Grove continuously from 1860 until the time of his death. Mr Whitney was married Aug. 13, 1857, to Mary Head."

If this information is of interest to anyone, please feel free to contact me and I will gladly send the copied document. It is not my line of descent.

To give you all a clue: In the Henry Whitney database alone, this weekend I have added over 200 more people (descendants, marriages, dates) because of these pages!

In my personal database for lines connected with John & Elinor, I had updated my gedcom on April 5th and had 14,503 individuals then. Now, after working with the D.A.R. records this weekend, I have just entered person # 15,022 !!

Printing out all of the D.A.R. books took over a reem of paper, but it was worth it!

Who is... John Whitney m. Hannah Atherton (d.1795)?? The official record of his Revolutionary War service reads:

Hi WRG!

I found information on another Whitney in Minnesota that is unconnected to my branch. So I was just going to give some basics and offer to send it to the person who can claim the connection BUT... I need help on this one. It kind of threw me. So if you connect - please contact me.

I have a short biographical sketch for Joseph W Whitney. Born Lawrence, MA March 7, 1880. he was only a few months old when his parents moved to Minnesota. Father Charles C Whitney Mother Nellie A Johnson of Bethel Maine. Siblings Dick, Jack, and oh no - this is real... his sisters name is "Minne Sota, wife of Fred A Hill" (geesh) - I bet brothers are Richard and John. AND a 1/2 brother named Frank C. ( I am wondering if I could claim a relative that named their daughter Minne Sota).

The rest of the article expounds on his accomplishments in Minnesota and the state of Washington and also Oregon.

BUT... what grabbed me was a tiny blurb about his father. "In 1876 Mr Charles C Whitney married Mattie M HOGLE. She died in 1877 leaving one son, Frank C. In 1979 Charles C Whitney married Nellie A Johnson..." the rest of the info is noted previously.

Now - my married name is HOGLE - I would love to know who Mattie Hogle was. We have reached brick walls on that family.

So if you can connect to this family in any way, please contact me. I will share the article and information gladly.

WRG

Found this reference Minnesotal Genealogical Journal Volume #2 Page 106 The Minnesota Pioneer (1852) Vol III No 49 Thursday 25 March 1852

"At a meeting of the Excelsior Club, No.1, of Tempera Watchman,....remove from our midst by death, brother Joel Whitney,..." (and) "Died, at St Paul, on Monday the 22nd instant Mr Joel Whitney, late of Maine, aged about 65 years."

Note --- this would mean that he would have been born in about 1787, which would be correct for the son of Micah Whitney and Hannah Cobb. Further investigation shows that in the "notes" section of the Witney12 database for Joel Whitney, son of Micah and Hannah, it notes the following

"both buried behind the church there in Phillips; that Joel built. Joel was first postmaster of Phillips, town clerk in 1819- built town church and school. There is a monument behind the church where they and 2 of their children are buried. moved to Plymouth, then St. Paul, Minn. No descendents lived in Maine in 1943. Rev. Joseph Dyer, father."

This sure seems to be a fit.

Hope this information helps someone. And if I can assist in any way in clarifying - let me know.

Eventually we will identify the people that will provide the links for those members who are still unconnected, and it is the gathering of data like your contribution that will make that happen.
