Census

• 1790, Templeton, Worcester Co., MA: Joseph Whitney, 1 male over 16.
• 1800: not found.
• 1810: not found. He is perhaps one of the three "J Whitneys" listed in Oneida Co., NY (Utica is in Oneida Co.)

This enumeration is alphabetized, an indication that it was transcribed. It is possible that in that transcription process, "Whitney" was misread and written as "Whiting".
