Your Lineage
Aaron:
I think I found your grandfather Dewayne C. Whitney on the 1930 census. He was born about 1915 in Wisconsin. His parents were "Floyd F." Whitney, born about 1888 in Illinois, a farmer, and his wife Victoria C., born about 1890 in Wisconsin. The children in the family were Elmer W., Dewayne C., Lucile I., Gertrude L., Arland G., John W., and Loraine C., all born in Wisconsin. They were living in Arland Township, Barron County, Wisconsin.

Victoria Robarge
If this is your family, I believe this is your great grandmother's lineage:

You are right on the money!!! That was a ton of info very fast. THANK YOU!
John Henry Whitney
Floyd's father was John Henry Whitney, according to the 1900 census, born Sep 1849 in Nebraska. His wife was Cecelia, b. April 1853 in Wisconsin. John Henry was listed as a Painter.
John Whitney
I just found John & Cecelia Whitney on the 1880 census. Living with them was his mother, Adeline Whitney. This should allow me to trace him back further... hang tight...

I just found this note in the pierce project.
4419. JOHN HENRY WHITNEY (George P., William C., Joshua, Daniel, Benjamin, John, John), b. Oxford. Me., Oct. 16, 1851; m. Apr. 30, 1890 Lulu F. GOHLER; b., May 7, 1864; res. 26 Lisbon St. Lewiston, Me. s.p.
John Henry seems to be the thorn in my side. I think HE is the real turnip.

I suspect I am going to have to do the DNA thing to be sure. I charted out from there on tribalpages and it all seems to work. Gramps says it goes along with what he can remember hearing over the years. Short of spending a summer going back to actual places for verification.. I guess DNA would be the next logical step.

Gave my grandfather everything I had put together so far today on his 93rd birthday. He was very pleased. Now I just hope it was right....
Per conversation with Grandpa.
He can not remember his grandparents names. But remembers his father taking trips to Illinois and Iowa to visit what he thinks were his Aunts. Clark Lyman offspring being in both locations tends to back this up.. I would like to find one more source backing up the Clark Lyman to John Henry line. If that is sound then my line seems to be correct to Mary Bray. Also was given an incredible picture of the Robarge family with victoria to her grandparents in one photo.. very cool.
Gramps cant recall any Whitneys before himself doing anything other than farming.
Your Line
Aaron:
Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you. I'm currently on vacation and am planning to revisit your line after I return in about a week.

Hey.. thanks Tim.. Don't worry bout me. not naggin you at all.. I just put things in here.. so they don't get forgotten. My memory can only be measured in nano seconds and if I don't put things down.. they are gone. I am just chipping away at what I can learn and when others have time to lend a hand that is outstanding... Enjoy your vacation!
Well I have gotten no farther. Just tidbits here and there.
