Family:Whitney, John (1714-a1764)
John5 Whitney (John4, Joseph3, John2, John1), son of John4 and Sarah (Cutting) Whitney,[1] was born 22 Jun 1714, Watertown, MA.[2]
He married, 6 Oct 1737, Watertown, MA, Bethia Cutter, daughter of Ephraim and Deborah (Stone) Cutter. She was born 9 Jul 1713, Watertown, MA, and died unknown. Their intentions were published 30 Jan 1736/7, Weston, MA, he "of Weston" and she "of Watertown".
There is confusion about which John Whitney married Bethia Cutter. Since she was born in 1713, the John Whitney born in 1714 would be the most appropriate age for her.
He may have married, before 8 Aug 1738, Weston, MA, one Elis---- -----. This may be an error for Bethia Cutter, above.
Weston VR's have a John, Jun. as a church member 25 Jul 1736 - at age 22. Same record also shows a Joseph Whitney, son of John, as a church member 11 Oct 1741, also at age 22.
There were no children of John5 and Elis---- (-----) Whitney.
Children of John5 and Bethia (Cutter) Whitney:
i. John6 Whitney, b. 8 Aug 1738, Weston, MA; m. Elizabeth -----. ii. Ephraim Whitney, b. 16 Apr 1740, Sudbury, MA; m. Mary Reed.
