 [[User:Dwood]]:  Family tradition states that Anna corresponded with either two brothers or nephews who lived in Oswego, NY by the names of Joseph and William and supposedly were preachers. The Norwich, VT records include a William Whitney, who married Prudence Brown on March 24, 1808, and a marriage record of Electa Whitney to Alfred Brown on 18 July 1809.  Another clue showed William Whitney as a witness to a land transaction on Jan 26, 1816{{ref|2}} in Windsor Co, VT by Warren Percival, Anna's husband.  It was common for relatives or neighbors to be witnesses on deed transactions.

 My research then focused on an obscure, short, Norwich, VT probate record for Joseph Whitney{{ref|3}}, a minor over 14 years, who was probated 9 Jan 1813 in Hartford District Court in Norwich, VT with William Wade as his guardian.  The record noted that Joseph was "an heir to the Estate of Joshua Whitney late of Belcher in the State of Massachusetts, deceased".  In Aug 2011 at the LDS Library I reviewed the probate records for Belchertown, MA and found Joshua's record that listed all his children: "... I give and bequeath to William, Joshua, Joseph, Anna, Dorothy, Lucinda, Electa, Betsy, my children to each one five shillings to be paid by my Executrix...".  This was the big breakthrough I had been searching for!  The next piece is to find who William, Joseph, Anna, and Electa and possibly others were living with in Norwich around 1798 to 1813 since their mother, Dorothy remained in Belchertown, MA and remarried.  I will focus initially on the Browns of Norwich.  Also, I do not know what became of Joseph Whitney of Norwich ... did he become a preacher and move to the Scriba, NY area???

-Family tradition states that Anna corresponded with either two brothers or nephews who lived in Oswego, NY by the names of Joseph and William. Current theory is that Anna was a daughter of Elijah Whitney of Canaan, Litchfield, CT. Elijah had 4 sons, Elijah, Elisha, Joseph, and William and a daughter Electa. The three older sons moved to the Scriba, Oswego, NY area and William moved to Norwich, VT and married Prudence Brown Mar 24, 1808 in Norwich, VT. William Whitney was a witness to a land transaction for Warren Percival on Jan 26, 1816{{ref|2}} (sometimes was common for a relative to be a witness). Currently looking for Elijah Whitney's probate records (not listed in Sharon District or Norfolk District files).  Also, checking land records for settlement of Elijah's property after his death.

+After exhausting all possible Whitney families in the mid Vermont area, I focused my research on [[Family:Whitney, Elijah (1750-1821)|Elijah and Chloe (Beckley) Whitney]] of Canaan, CT since they had three sons with one named Joseph and according to Pierce a fourth son named William and a daughter named Electa.  Over a period of 3 years, I found no references to William or Anna or Electa as children of Elijah (church records, town records, probate records - none for Elijah, and land records).  Elijah had 3 sons per the Canaan, CT Town Records, Elijah, Elisha, Joseph, and according to Pierce, William and Electa. The three sons moved to the Scriba, Oswego, NY area.
