Carlos Whitney ([perhaps] William Wallace7, Paul6, Timothy5, Jonas4, Moses3, Richard2, John1), parentage unknown but perhaps son of William Wallace7 and Betsey (Winter) Whitney, was born Apr 1848, and died 1917.
He married, circa 1876, Eliza Marsh. She was born Sep 1859, NY.
According to the 1900 census, Carlos had a brother Charles A. Whitney, b. Apr 1858, Canada. Their father was born in Vermont, and their mother in Maine.
"[Ellsworth Petty] had come to Upper Saranac Lake in the 1880s to work as a guide with his cousin, Carlos Whitney. Ellsworth was then in his mid-twenties, and Carlos was some twenty-five years older. They earned two dollars a day, high wages for the Adirondacks. Carlos first became familiar with the Indian Carry that connected Upper Saranac with the Stony Creek Ponds in the 1850s. There were still Indians around back then."[1]
Carlos Whitney, "a huge man who had shot many deer", apparently had a life changing experience when "a freshly killed deer raised its head long enough to looks its killer in the eyes and shame him into giving up the hunt forever."[2]
Children of Carlos and Eliza (Marsh) Whitney:
i. Franklin Whitney, b. ca. 1878, NY. ii. Eva Whitney, b. Jul 1879, NY. iii. Roy A. Whitney, b. Apr 1882, NY. iv. Joseph Whitney, b. Sep 1885, NY. v. Harriet D. Whitney, b. Oct 1889, NY. vi. Robert Carlos Whitney, b. 28 Feb 1892, Crowne Point Center, NY. On his WWI Draft Registration, he is listed as single, tall, brown eyes, black hair, a farmer in Sherburne, NY. vii. Carlotta Whitney, b. Oct 1894, NY. viii. Frances E. Whitney, b. Mar 1899, NY.
Notes
Note that William Wallace Whitney had a son Carlos Franklin and another son Charles Alfred. This matches the fact that this Carlos had a known brother Charles A. Also, both Charles and Carlos were born in April, as were the two sons of William Wallace Whitney.
