Welcome!
Welcome to the Whitney Research Group (WRG). Thanks for posting your lineage back to Mattie Whitney. I have done some research on her, and have found her parents and paternal grandparents. I have entered them on your lineage page. This comes from census records and some undocumented family trees found at Ancestry.com, so could use a little more supporting proof, but is highly probably correct.
Aaron Whitney is a bit of a mystery. The first sure record of him we have found (so far!) is in the 1850 census in Waterville, Kennebec Co., ME. His wife is sometimes called Keziah, but that is wrong. Her name was probably more conventionally spelled Desire, being named after her paternal grandmother, Desire (Tupper) Dillingham. Much is known of Deziah's ancestry, including a line to William Brewster of the "Mayflower", but nothing about Aaron.
I hope this helps.
