Welcome!
Welcome to the Whitney Research Group! Could you please post some details about your William Whitney? For example - where did he live in the various census records? I was trying to locate him to do some searching for you, but was unable to locate him simply because there are too many Williams out there and I don't have an age or location.
Thank you!

1860
You probably already have this, but I've located your family (at least I think I have the right ones) in Kalamazoo, MI in 1860. William Whitney was a tallow Chandler living with his wife Sarah, children George W. and Harriet, probable mother-in-law Sarah Titus, a servant, and Sylvester Titus.

William Whitneys
I'll see if I can find anything when I get a chance, but in the meantime, you might want to check our index of all William Whitneys that we have on our family group pages here on this website. Simply type William Whitney in the search box in the left-hand column and hit enter. This can be done for any name (Whitneys only).

1850
I think I may have found him:
1850 U.S. Census, Springfield, Hampden Co., MA, p. 105
1624 1773 William Whitny 32 M Soapmaker Mass
Caroline " 29 F Vt
Eliza " 22 F Mass
I suspect that this is him because the age is right (32 in 1850, 53 in 1870, a little "off" 40 in 1860), and he is a soap maker (1850), an industry very closely related to if not identical with Tallow Chandlers (1860) and Soap Kandle Manuf (1870).
I suspect that Caroline was his first wife and his eldest son George W. may have been her son. Note the age gap between George and Harriet in 1860. I suspect William had married Sarah sometime between 1852 and 1857. You probably didn't find this record before because the surname is spelled without the "e". Now that we think we have him in 1850, I'll see what more I can find on this fellow.
