Carlos Franklin8 Whitney (William Wallace7, Paul6, Timothy5, Jonas4, Moses3, Richard2, John1), son of William Wallace7 and Sarah Maria (Eaton) Whitney, was born Apr 1848, Dunham, QC, and died 1917.
He married, circa 1876, Eliza Marsh, daughter of Joseph and Ann (-----) 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]
