I found the following family in the 1930 census:

1930 U.S. Census, Anacortes, Skagit Co., WA, p. 23A
Whitney, Calbert W. Head M W 26    M 22 Colorado Wisconson Illinois Laborer, Box Factory

Note that Calbert's father Lyle Whitney was not a turnip farmer. ;-)

Lyle's father William D. Whitney was a farmer, so I guess he could have planted turnips! :-)

Forter?? "      18 M                  "

So your line appears to be: Steve, Jack, Calbert, Lyle, William, James H. Whitney. This is about where the census records run out, so we'll now need to search for James H. Whitney. Perhaps we can find him in Pierce.

I found them!!! Take a look at Family:Whitney, James Hervey (1808-?).

Your line is Steve¹³, Jack¹², Calbert¹¹, Lyle¹⁰, William P.⁹, James Hervey⁸, Moses⁷, Joseph⁶, Joseph⁵, Thomas⁴, Thomas³, Thomas², John¹

It appears that we have some of the children linkages wrong for the children of this family. I need to do some editing here to correct this. In the meantime, your Lyall A. Whitney does appear in Pierce on page 643. See Archive:The Descendants of John Whitney, page 643.

Percy Bacon

I just found the following:

1900 U.S. Census, Mesa, Mesa Co., CO, p. 19A
Bacon, George W. Head Jul 1847 52 Indiana                    Farmer
-- Mary E        Wife Mar 1848 52 Kentucky                   
-- James B       Son  May 1874 26 Illinois Indiana  Kentucky Farm Laborer
-- Fred W        Son  Oct 1876 23 Indiana  Indiana  Kentucky Farm Laborer
-- Percy M       Dau  Dec 1880 19 Illinois Indiana  Kentucky Teaching
-- Oliva         DinL Jan 1881 19 Colorado New York Kansas

So Percy was actually Percy M. Bacon.

awww he was still a turnip... This should be fun for your family. This is a mountain more data than any previous attempt by any of your family. Aaron..
