Captain Joseph Whitney, parentage unknown, perhaps brother of Captain James Whitney,[1] born 27 Oct 1741, died 17 Nov 1780, at sea while rounding Cape May, New Jersey.

He married 2 Aug 1770, St. John's Church, Providence, RI, Mary Waterman,[2] daughter of Christopher Waterman. She was born 18 Mar 1751/52, Cranston, RI, and died 19 Apr 1846, aged 94 years. She "of Warwick" married secondly, 18 Jun 1794, Warwick, RI, by Rev. James Wilson, Col. Benjamin Hoppin "of Providence".[3]

He is listed in the 1774 Census of Warwick, RI.

Among the papers of Phebe Waterman (1757-1847) are letters from a niece, “M. P. Whitney.”[5] M. P. Whitney was at first thought to be Mary Whitney, the daughter of Phebe’s sister Mary and her husband, Capt. Joseph Whitney. However, one letter is dated in 1829, and Mary Whitney, according to Jacobus and Waterman’s genealogy, died in 1814. It is possible that M. P. Whitney was actually a great-niece of Phebe Waterman, the daughter of Phebe’s nephew Hercules Whitney and his wife, Martha P. (Dyer) Waterman. However, no record has been found of any children of Hercules and Martha. [Another interpretation is that M. P. Whitney was identical to Martha P. (Dyer) Whitney, who was married to Phebe's nephew.--RLW]
