Joel6 Whitney (Jonas5, David4, Benjamin3, John2, John1), son of Jonas5 and Sarah (Whittemore) Whitney, was born 13 Sep 1765, Westminster, MA,[1] and died 15 Apr 1857 [Pierce], or 19 Apr 1857, Gardner, MA, aged 91 years 7 months 3 days, of old age.[2]

He married firstly, 29 Dec 1790, Westminster, MA, Lucy Holden,[3] daughter of Abner and Elizabeth (Darby) Holden. She was born 25 Feb 1770, Westminster, MA, and died 1 Dec 1791, Westminster, MA in her 22nd year.[4]

He married secondly, 16 Aug 1796, Westminster, MA, Mrs. Abigail (Holden) Merriam,[5] daughter of Abner and Elizabeth (Darby) Holden. She was born 25 Aug 1767, Westminster, MA, and died 18 or 8 Nov 1848, Westminster, MA, aged 81 years 2 months 23 days, of disease of the heart.[6] She had married firstly (int. 19 Sep 1785, Westminster) Nathan Merriam, son of Samuel and Anna5 (Whitney) Merriam. He had been baptized 29 Apr 1764, Lexington, MA, and died 10 Aug 1794, Westminster, MA. Her two husbands were first cousins.

He was a man of vigorous intellect, good practical judgment, and great force of character. His positive convictions and love of argument won for him in certain circles the expressive title of "Old Reason." He lived for a few years with his brother Jonas on the paternal estate, but at length sold to him, and purchased the place now owned by J. C. Goodridge, on the No. Common, where his remaining life was spent. His services were much in demand as an arbitrator for the settlement of personal differences and questions of controversy, requiring for their proper adjustment, good sense, an impartial judgment, freedom from prejudice, and the disposition to deal fairly and honorably with all parties concerned. He married 1st, Lucy, dau. of Abner and Elizabeth (Darby) Holden. She bore him 1 child and he married 2d, her sister, Abigail (Holden) Merriam, wid. of Nathan, by whom he had 6 ch.
