Whitney/Bugbee of Ashby, MA

I think I can help. The following marriage is on record, dated 8 Sep 1886, Ashby, MA:

Fred G. Bugbee of Fitchburg, MA, 21, carpenter, b. Bethel, Vt., son of Oliver L. and Melvina B. Bugbee
Etta J. Whitney of Ashby, MA, 21, at home, b. Ashby, Mass., dau of Edward C. and Jane Whitney

It was the first marriage of each, performed by Rev. M. J. Allen of the 2nd parish in Ashby.

Reference: "Massachusetts Vital Records, 1841–1910;" from original records held by the Massachusetts Archives. Online database: NewEnglandAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2004. Volume 371, page 47, line 10.

Given this information, one can connect her back to her immigrant ancestor, John1 Whitney of Watertown, MA, starting at her father's page, Family:Whitney, Edward C. (1828-1909).

Glad to have another cousin make contact!

Aaron Ferdinand Whitney

You wrote:

"Jason Whitney had a son Aaron Ferdinand, who is listed as marrying Almira Sophia Gleason. Aaron and Almira had a daughter named Agnes M. Agnes married Herman James Bugbee and had a son Lester Gordon Bugbee. Lester's daugter, Priscilla Agnes, is my grandmother. Aaron Ferdinand doesn't have his own page and I don't know how to include the information I have. I also have a wonderful photocopy of a photo from a 1919 Whitney Family reunion that has all of these people, and many more, in the photo. The photo has a key as well. I don't know how to include any of the information I have. I'm sure many people would enjoy seeing this photo. It was taken in Massachusetts, probably near Fitchburg."

I have now created a page for Aaron Ferdinand Whitney. See Family:Whitney, Aaron Ferdinand (1854-1922).

You can include the information you have by logging into this website, going to that page, and clicking on the "edit this page" tab at the top. Then you can make any edits you want to the page. Don't worry about messing anything up, because I'll be reviewing your edits and cleaning up any problems which I see. The more information you include on persons with the Whitney surname and their spouses, the better. Do not, however, include living persons, for reasons of privacy and prevention of identity theft. If it seems like a good idea, I'll create more pages for the sons, and possibly for their sons.

As far as the photograph goes, I have two ideas:

  1. Take a digital photograph of it, and e-mail that to me.
  2. Photocopy it and snail-mail that to me. I can scan that.

In either case, I can try to upload it to the website.

Sorry about the false lead. It seemed promising, but thankfully you've discovered the correct lineage.

If I can help in any other way, feel free to ask.
