Francis Whitney, parentage unknown, was born before 1775, and died after 1790.
In 1790 he was living in Orangeburg South County, SC.
He was probably related to Whitney, Francis (b1775-a1790), also residing in Orangeburg South County, SC in 1790. If these two men happened to be father and son, then this was most likely the father in the pair, based upon the ages of people in the two households.
Francis Whitney first appears, in South Carolina, on land records, in Edgefield County of the Ninety Six District. The deeds for his original lands, in this area, have not yet been found, but he does appear as an adjacent land owner on other land grant plats.
