Because of the many requests from subscribers to publish as many records of the Whitney family of Watertown, we have collected the records found in this issue. AS much as possible, we have connected them to the related families of the same name, and to the inter related families, into which they married. It should come as no surprise to any of you that the Whitney families had many children:. The Whitneys married into the same families time and time again. The families with whom they married were; Rice, Harrington, Bigelow, Tarball, Hagar, Robinson, Warren, Hapgood, Peirce, Stearns. Since many of the Watertown Whitneys moved to Connecticut, it has become very easy to confuse this family with the family of Henry Whitney of Long Island and Connecticut, who settled mostly around Richfield. The family of Henry Whitney, like the Watertown Whitneys, spread out through the New England states and New York. Separating these families is one giant chore. Even the experts have made errors in connecting these families. It is hoped that the information given in this issue, will be of some help to you in establishing your ancestral tree! If you have any questions or corrections, please write to us. We will be glad to make corrections - with proof.

Mrs. Berne Davis, Route #5, Box 80, Colfax, Wa., 99111. John Linus Whitney, Sr. was killed by a robber on the way back frcm the gold rush, to his home in New York State. His bag of gold, worth $75,000 was taken. His wife, the former Mary Amanda Whitlock of Ct.,waiting for him in New York State, gave birth, posthumously to their son, John Linus Whitney, born 14 Dec., 1850. Need information on this family. Somewhere between 1850 and 1859, Mary Amanda Whitlock Whitney married Daniel Shattuck (from New Hampshire). These two moved to Darke Co., Ohio, with Mary Arnanda s father, John Whitlock and his wife, along with a James Whitlock and wife Sarah. This James was about 15 years younger than Mary Amanda, so this may have been her brother (unless her father had married twice). John Linus Whitney, Jr., married Margaret Replogle, daughter of Jacob and Abigail Replogle of Ohio (Darke Co). They had a son, John Clifton Whitney, who married Kathrine Middleton, and they also had Eugene Middleton Whitney (my father). My father states that Grandmother Kathrine told him that when she had a name researched, she learned that a Mrs. Shields of Elkhart, In., was related to our family. In the 1940 telephone director from that area, I found a Mrs. E.A. Shields living there on 407 South Second Street. Does anyone have any knowledge of this family? We also believe that our family is registered with the Colonial Dames, by Mary Elizabeth Whitney in 1935 9. Could we hear from someone about these families? Mrs. Mary (Whitney) Grumbling, P.O. Box 221, Forbestown, Ca., 95941. Researching Josiah Whitney, born ? He died 10 Dec., 1824. He married Esther Weeks. He was a Minuteman, and was from New York State. Mrs. Melvin L. Lesher, R.R. lB X7, Clarion, Iowa, 50525. Believe he must have been from Mass., Ct., or New Hampshire. They were the only states who had Minutemen, as far as we know. May have moved to New York State after the Rev. War. Editor. Need any information on the parents of Haynes and Calvin Whitney who came to Thomaston, Me., early in the 1800 s. Haynes married Jane Robinson, and Calvin married Eliza Everton. Am looking for any information on the following Whitney entries in the LDS IGI (International Genealogical Index) of the Mormon Archives: Calvin Whitney, son of Daniel and Eunice ? born 23 August, 1790, Cheshire, Chesterfield Twp., NH. Daniel T. Whitney, son of James and Mary ? born 26 Feb., 1772, Cheshire, Winchester Twp., NH. Daniel Whitney, son of Sylvanus and Hannah ? born 12 April, 1761, Hillsboro, Dunstable Twp., NH. Calvin Whitney, son of Orlando and Aeneth ? horn 4 Sept., 1795, Windsor, Ludlow Twp., Vt. Mrs. Marion Whitney Leska, 712 So. Prairie Av., Barrington, Il., 60010. In 1808 James Chaffin and Betsy Chaffin were married. They were cousins. Their fathers were brothers. Betsy's line has been established by Peirce that her mother was Mary Whitney, and this is the line: John, Richard, Richard, Richard, Daniel, and Mary. Betsy died in Jan. of 1845 in Alexandria Bay, N.Y. In March of that year, James married a Deborah Whitney. Family papers suggest that Deborah was Deborah Mansfield, and that she may have been married first to a Mr. Lovell. Thus her name at the time of her marriage to Mr. Whitney was Deborah (Mansfield) Lovell. And there may have been a relationship between Betsy and Deborah Whitney s line. When Deborah Mansfield Lovell married James Chaffin, the children already of the family were: Maria, born 1832; Elias, born 1837; Samuel, born 1841; and Sarah, born 1843. If these were the children already in the family, they would have to be the children of Betsy Chaffin Whitney. In the census records, Mariah, Elias and Samuel list their birthplace as New Hampshire. Sarah lists hers as New York. Deborah Mansfield Lovell Whitney lists hers as Maine. In the 1880 census Elias Whitney lists his parents as having been born in Maine! (Before this it was NH). In 1900 Elias Whitney lists his mother as having been born in NH; but his father has no birth record listed. The daughter of James and Betsy (Whitney) Chaffin, Mariah, married the son of James, James Remington Chaff in, Jr. They were married in Lockport, Niagara Co., New York. In 1850 they were in Wisconsin. In 1860 they were still in Wisconsin. However, Elias, Samuel and Sarah are missing. In the early 1870 s Elias is married in Wisconsin, and in those records he states his father s name is Samuel and his mother is Deborah! In 1865 James died, in Iowa. Mariah died there in 1878. In writing her memoirs, one of Mariah s daughters said that after her mother died, her Aunt Sarah (sister of Mariah) remarried and tack her grandmother, Deborah Mansfield Lovell Whitney and the youngest sister to live with them, and they went to Kansas. She stated that they went to Cawker City where their Uncle Sam lived. Here they stayed while her father went west to Phillipsburg to homestead. In the 1880 census, Uncle Sam is not living in Cawker City, but in Glen Elder, six miles from Cawker. In Cawker City there is a Whitney running a hotel. This Whitney is listed in Pierce s book. We assume there is a connection between this W.C. Whitney and Deborah s family, and may be the reason Deborah went there. Can anyone help us with these lines? Arthur S. Hart, 916 Red Oak Lane, Fort Worth, Texas, 76114.
