Francis Whitney, (possibly Francis, possibly Francis, possibly Joshua3, David2, Samuel1), parentage unknown, was born before 1775, and died after 1790.
He was probably related to Whitney, Francis (b1760-a1790), also residing in Orangeburg South County, SC in 1790. If these two men happened to be father and son, then this was most likely the son in the pair, based upon the ages of people in the two households.
In 1790 he was living in Orangeburg South County, SC. Analyzing the members in the family in 1790, the most likely scenario is that the family consisted of Francis, his wife, and two young sons. If the sons had been born say 1787 and 1789, this would put the parents' marriage at say 1785, and the birth of Francis at say 1765, or earlier.
This is most probably the Francis Whitney, who signed as Francis Whitney Jr., on the petition of James Johnston asking permission to establish a toll bridge over the South Edisto River. The names indexed on this petition are:
- F. Brown; James Johnston; A. Odam, Sr.;
- Benjamin Odam Jr.; William Robison; A. Smith;
- John Snead; R. Stark; Francis Whitney Jr.,;
- Joseph Whitney. [1]
There is no date for this petition; however, a date can probably be established as prior to the death of co-signer, John Snead, 6 September 1793,[2]in Edgefield, South Carolina. His will was subsequently probated, in Edgefield County, 1795.[3]
The identity of Joseph Whitney found on this document with Francis Whitney Jr. has not been established.
This is also probably the Francis Whitney who purchased land on the north side of the South Edisto River on Dean Swamp and Hunter's Branch. Macon Whitney and Samuel Whitney also purchased property on Dean Swamp and Hunter's Branch during this time.
On 8 December 1791 Francis Whitney purchased 285 Acres on Hunter's Branch, Orangeburg District.[4]
16 July 1793 Francis Whitney purchased 130 acres on Fork of Dean Swamp and South Edisto River, Orangeburg District. [5]
Possible children of Francis Whitney:
i. Isaac L. Whitney (1794-1834). ii. Hiram C. Whitney (1805-1839).
Census
- 1790, Orangeburg South Co., SC: Francis Whitney, 1 males over 16, 2 males under 16, 1 female.
- (perhaps) 1800, Orange, Orangeburg South Co., SC: Francis Whitney, 1 male over 45, 1 male 10-16, 1 female over 45, 1 female 10-16.
