Notes
He could possibly be the same as Josiah8 Whitney, son of Thomas7 and Abigail (Hapgood) Whitney, born 11 Jun 1809, Marlborough, MA, of whom nothing further has been found. The death record of son Augustus gives his birth town as Medway, MA, but no record of his birth is found in that town.
There is no record of Josiah after the birth of his son in 1845. He cannot be found in 1850, and from 1855 on, his wife is living alone. At death she is called widow of George, which is an error for Josiah.
Frederick's death record gives his mother's maiden name correctly, but omits his father's name. His paternity is unknown. If Josiah had died before 1855, then he may have been adopted or illegitimate.
