Family:Whitney, Mellen (1774-a1826)
Mellen6 Whitney (Elias5, Elias4, Jonathan3, Benjamin2, John1), born Milford, Massachusetts, 9 Dec 1774; married Jane Richardson. He first moved to Barton, Vermont, from Massachusetts, and was in that town in 1816, afterward resided in Barre, Vermont, previous to and after the time Lafayette visited this country. This fact is fixed by an incident connected with the French General's stay in Barre, in which Mellen played a part. His children were all born in Barre. In 1826 he moved to Peru, New York, where he and his wife died.
