Whitney ancestors are from the John & Elinor lineage I believe

My grandfather Robert Earl Whitney was born and raised in Mexico, NY. Born in August of 1898

He had a sister Doris, several years younger.

He went to university on a wrestling scholarship, married Adeline Francis Shockey b. June 1904

Had three children, Robert Earl Jr., Barbara, and Virginia. I am the first child of Robert Jr.

He settled in Dansville, NY and had a prosperous furniture and appliance business with a large factory storefront called "Whitney's" He also owned a portfolio of rental residences in Rochester, NY.

His father was William Whitney born 1857(?) or thereabouts. He had two spinster sisters who lived to be very old both into their 100's. His wife was Maude (Morre) Whitney. He was a farmer in Mexico, NY.

Any info pertaining to this branch of Whitney's would be welcome.
