ALL,
Might anyone have any information on an Elijah Whitney who came to America and fought against the British during the Revolutionary War.
The following is a record given to my father from his mother;
"Record of the Whitney family as told me by my mother, (recalled) called from a piece of paper kept in the family Bible many years.
Elijah Whitney came from England near the opening of the Revolution. Settled in Massachussett's. Served 7 years in the Revolution. Became Captain.
His children: Ebenezer (CA 1771), Samuel, Joshua (CA 1782) - first wifes children. Elijah, Joseph - Second wifes children.
Joshua Whitney married Polly Clark (M. 1809 - Nelson, NY) children: Eliphalet, Clark, Elbridge, Hiram, James, Amy, Algina & Eben."
As you can read some family information is given but I have a lot of questions.
Does this Elijah Whitney or his children names strike a cord with anyone?
Thanks,
DEW
Census
