Alanson Whitney, parentage unknown, was born 13 Jan 1817, NY, and died 26 Aug 1882, Allen Co., IN, buried in the I.O.O. F. Cemetery, New Haven, IN.
He married, 16 Jan 1842, Allen Co., IN, Almira Cool. She was born 11 May 1822, NY.
Children of Alanson and Almira (Cool) Whitney:
i. Eliza J. Whitney, b. 22 Jul 1844. ii. Jared M. Whitney, b. 8 Apr 1846. iii. James Emmet Whitney, b. 22 May 1847, IN. iv. Samantha A. Whitney, b. 11 Jan 1849, IN. v. Lenora J.

Notes
I suspect he is the son of the Jared Whitney listed in Jefferson in 1840. This Jared is probably the son of Family:Whitney, John (1751-1828), as this Jared had a brother named Alanson Whitney.
