- Whitney, Colonel (?-?), of Newpass, County Westmeath
- Family:Whitney, Thomas (s1660-1728), of Dublin, Ireland
- Family:Whitney, Boleyn (s1680?-a1752)
- Family:Whitney, Shugbrough (s1690?-1747), of Edinburgh, Scotland

- Edmond W. F. Whitney, address Newpass, Rathowen, owned 2,538 acres - Landowners in Co. Westmeath, circa 1870s
Note: The Fetherstonhaugh-Whitney family of Newpass, County Westmeath, Ireland, according to The Heraldry of the Whitney Family, held quartered arms containing both the Whitney and Fetherstonhaugh arms. The Whitney arms appear to be an exact match to those of the Whitneys of Whitney, with a crescent in the upper left corner. This indicates that the Whitneys of Co. Westmeath were descended from the Whitneys of Whitney.
