Family:Whitney, Joel (1777-a1810)

Joel Whitney (Joel), son of Joel and Mary (Weston) Whitney, was born 21 Feb 1777, Chesterfield, NH.^[1]

That he had a wife is inferred from the 1810 census, and that they were married about 1800-1804 is suggested by the births of three children between 1800 and 1810. Nothing further is known of her.

Children of Joel and ----- (-----) Whitney:

i.	(daughter) Whitney, b. say 1805, Chesterfield, NH; living 1810.
ii.	(son) Whitney, b. say 1807, Chesterfield, NH; living 1810.
iii.	(daughter) Whitney, b. say 1809, Chesterfield, NH; living 1810.

It seems likely that this was the same family:

Edy Farwell Whitney, dau. of Joel and Mary, born 20 Jul 1812, Littleton, NH.
