Samuel7 Whitney (Richard6, Moses5, Nathaniel4, Nathaniel3, Benjamin2, John1), son of Richard6 and Martha (Flanders) Whitney,[1] born between 1810 and 1820[2], and died sometime after 1840.

He married firstly, 24 Sep 1832, Belfast, ME, Mary Eaton. She was born circa 1809, and died 17 Jun 1843, buried Sebec Corner Cemetery, Sebec, Pascataquis Co., ME.[3]

He married secondly, 7 Jul 1844, Sebec, ME, Clarissa H. Stearns, of Bowdoinham, ME.

He was a sea captain.[4]

On 13 Nov 1837 there was a transaction between Samuel Whitney and Richard Whitney, recorded in Sebec, in which Richard Whitney was listed "of Northport".

The following advertisement was placed in five editions of the Waldo Patriot in 1838:[5]
