Cal

I found the following family in the 1930 census:

1930 U.S. Census, Anacortes, Skagit Co., WA, p. 23A
Whitney, Calbert W. Head M W 26    M 22 Colorado Wisconson Illinois Laborer, Box Factory

Note that Calbert's father Lyle Whitney was not a turnip farmer. ;-)

Lyle's father William D. Whitney was a farmer, so I guess he could have planted turnips! :-)

Forter?? "      18 M                  "

So your line appears to be: Steve, Jack, Calbert, Lyle, William, James H. Whitney. This is about where the census records run out, so we'll now need to search for James H. Whitney. Perhaps we can find him in Pierce.

I found them!!! Take a look at Family:Whitney, James Harvey (1808-1896).

Your line is Steve¹³, Jack¹², Calbert¹¹, Lyle¹⁰, William P.⁹, James Hervey⁸, Moses⁷, Joseph⁶, Joseph⁵, Thomas⁴, Thomas³, Thomas², John¹

It appears that we have some of the children linkages wrong for the children of this family. I need to do some editing here to correct this. In the meantime, your Lyall A. Whitney does appear in Pierce on page 643. See Archive:The Descendants of John Whitney, page 643.

Percy Bacon

I just found the following:

1900 U.S. Census, Mesa, Mesa Co., CO, p. 19A
Bacon, George W. Head Jul 1847 52 Indiana                    Farmer
-- Mary E        Wife Mar 1848 52 Kentucky                   
-- James B       Son  May 1874 26 Illinois Indiana  Kentucky Farm Laborer
-- Fred W        Son  Oct 1876 23 Indiana  Indiana  Kentucky Farm Laborer
-- Percy M       Dau  Dec 1880 19 Illinois Indiana  Kentucky Teaching
-- Oliva         DinL Jan 1881 19 Colorado New York Kansas

So Percy was actually Percy M. Bacon.

awww he was still a turnip... This should be fun for your family. This is a mountain more data than any previous attempt by any of your family. Aaron..

Looks like we are related at Mary Bray.

man... this means I have to chart this for him now.. ugh..

Aww.. you Got a John Whitney badge already.. I'm still a nobody! lo

Alfie

I believe this is Alfie:

Name:  	Alfie A Peterson
Home in 1920: 	Anacortes, Skagit, Washington
Age: 	13 years 
Estimated birth year: 	abt 1907
Birthplace: 	Norway
Relation to Head of House: 	Daughter
Father's Birth Place: 	Norway
Mother's name: 	Anna A
Mother's Birth Place: 	Norway
Marital Status: 	Single
Race: 	White
Sex: 	Female
Year of Immigration: 	1907
Able to read: 	Yes
Able to Write: 	Yes
Image: 	846
Household Members: 	
Name 	Age
Anna A Peterson 	37
Danna C Peterson 	18
Alfie A Peterson 	13
Ruth I Peterson 	11
Arvin N Peterson 	9
Rueben J Peterson 	8
Elsie D Peterson 	6
Rose M Peterson 	4 8/12

looks right on the money. Anacortes.. where we all live is too remote and small for mistakes.. lol if you find someone here.. THEY WERE HERE.. lol

By the way, per the 1910 census, Alfie's father was John Peterson, from Norway, a crab fisherman.

• • can you recommend a good GEDCOM for him to start with to save me some time charting him? Just thought you might know of a good one on that line with good info** I would much rather map a few down that go the whole nine yards.**
