David⁷ Whitney (Isaac⁶, Abner⁵, Jonas⁴, Eleazer³, Thomas², John¹), son of Isaac⁶ and Polly (Fairbanks) Whitney, was born 9 Nov 1812, Springfield, VT,^[1]and most likely died in 1852.^[2]

He married, 1 Jan 1837, Brookline, MA,^[3]Chloe H. Farrington, daughter of Elijah and Puah (Hayden) Farrington. She was born in 1819, Milford, MA, and died 28 Sep 1863, Brookline, MA.^[4]She was a sister of Susan H. Farrington who married David's brother Aaron Whitney.

David grew up in Springfield, Vermont where his father Isaac⁶ appears in the 1820 census and where his grandfather Abner⁵ Whitney died in 1826. By 1837 David had relocated in or around Brookline, Massachusetts, where he married Chloe H. Farrington. Several Whitney family members had connections to the Brookline area.

By 1850 David, Chloe, and their children had relocated to Elmore, Vermont, where they appear in the census alongside David's parents Isaac and Polly. David and his brother Elliot⁷ Whitney both held land in Elmore during this period, though David's parcel appears to have been undeveloped. The farm the family was enumerated on was most likely the one Elliot was enumerated on in the 1840 U.S. Census.

Elliot subsequently left Vermont, eventually settling in the Midwest, while David remained in Elmore. David most likely died in 1852.^[5]The location of his grave is unknown.^[6]

Notes

Determining time of death

The first clue was finding an announcement for the estate sale of David Whitney, “late of Elmore” in the Green-Mountain Freeman, Montpelier, VT, dated 22 February 1855.^[10]When he died was narrowed down between 1850 and 1855. A trip to Montpelier on 6 November 2025 to dig through the Vermont State Archives & Records Administration in Middlesex did not produce a death record but it did uncover his probate record.^[11]

The probate record provides the closest documentary anchor to when he died. An application to appoint a probable administrator was filed on 6 January 1853. Because such applications are typically filed weeks or months after death rather than within days or years, a death date in the second half of 1852 is the most probable conclusion, though it still cannot be confirmed without a death record. What is certain is that he died between 23 Jul 1850, the date of enumeration for the 1850 census, and 6 January 1853, the date on the probate application. His three oldest sons, David, Charles, and George, were subsequently assigned guardianship in Vermont which explains why they were missing from Chloe’s 1855 Massachusetts State Census entry.

David's name appears on a family monument in Mount Hope Cemetery, Roslindale, Massachusetts, erected in the early twentieth century, but cemetery records confirm he is not interred there. His death year was left blank on the stone, suggesting that even the family member who commissioned the monument did not know when David had died.^[12]
