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:

and here's a pedigree for your uncle Elmer:

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.

still stumped
Your Line, Round Two
Aaron:
After a long delay, I've finally gotten back to your line. Here's what I have been able to find:
Here they are in 1930, or at least I think it's them based upon your agreement previously:
1930 U.S. Census, Arland Township, Barron County, Wisconsin, p. 3A
42 42 Whitney F. ?. Head M W 42 M 19 Illinois Wisconsin Wisconsin Farmer, General
-- Victoria C. Wife F W 40 M 17 Wisconsin Canada Canada None
-- Elmer W. Son M W 17 S Wisconsin Illinois Wisconsin Laborer, Farm
-- Dewayne C. Son M W 15 S Wisconsin Illinois Wisconsin None
-- Lucile I. Dau F W 10 S Wisconsin Illinois Wisconsin None
-- Gertrude L. Dau F W 9 S Wisconsin Illinois Wisconsin None
-- Arland G. Son M W 2 S Wisconsin Illinois Wisconsin None
-- John W. Son M W 0M S Wisconsin Illinois Wisconsin None
-- Loraine C. Dau F W 0M S Wisconsin Illinois Wisconsin None
I then followed them back in 1910 and 1920:
1910 U.S. Census, E. D. 19, Rice Lake Ward 3, Barron County, WI, p. 7B
134 142 Whitney Floyd Head M W 22 M 3 Illinois Wisconsin Nebraska Laborer, Saw Mill
-- Victoria Wife F W 20 M 3 2 2 Wisconsin Can Can None
-- Marie Dau F W 2 S Wisconsin Illinois Wisconsin None
-- Dorathy Dau F W 1&1M S Wisconsin Illinois Wisconsin None
1920 U.S. Census, Crystal, Washburn County, Wisconsin, p. 4B
21 21 Whitney Floyd Head M W 32 M Wisconsin U.S. U.S. Farmer, General Farm
-- Victoria Wife F W 30 M Wisconsin Canada Canada None
-- Marie Dau F W 12 S Wisconsin Wisconsin Wisconsin None
-- Dorotha Dau F W 11 S Wisconsin Wisconsin Wisconsin None
-- Clarence Son M W 9 S Wisconsin Wisconsin Wisconsin None
-- Elmer Son M W 7 S Wisconsin Wisconsin Wisconsin None
-- Du Wayne Son M W 5 S Wisconsin Wisconsin Wisconsin None
Whitney Lucille Dau F W 8M S Wisconsin Wisconsin Wisconsin None
I was stuck here for a minute until I checked the following online database:
http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=420angel&id=I974997
/John Henry Whitney b: 1853
/Floyd John Whitney b: 15 Dec 1887 d: 30 Jan 1970
| \Cecilia Bequette b: 1857
/Elmer William Whitney b: 28 Jan 1913 d: 15 Jul 1992
| /George Robarge b: 1864 d: 1925
\Marie Victoria Rose Robarge b: 6 Mar 1890 d: 8 Jul 1963
\Emma Bellan b: 1868 d: 1929
From this, we see that Floyd's parents are John and Cecilia. I was then able to pick that family up as follows:
1900 U.S. Census, Auburn, Chippewa County, WI, p. 24
8 8 Whitney John H? Head W M Sep 1847 52 M 28 Nebraska Missouri Massachusetts Painter
-- Celisia E. Wife W F Apr 1853 47 M 28 10 9 Wisconsin Missouri Ohio
-- Clarence Son W M Oct 1881 18 S Wisconsin Nebraska Wisconsin Teamster
-- George Son W M Jun 1884 15 S Wisconsin Nebraska Wisconsin At School
-- Floyd Son W M Dec 1887 12 S Wisconsin Nebraska Wisconsin At School
-- Hazel Dau W F Jul 1892 8 S Wisconsin Nebraska Wisconsin At School
Whitney Howard Son W M Oct 1895 5 S Wisconsin Nebraska Wisconsin
1910 U.S. Census, E. D. 18, Rice Lake Ward 2, Barron County, WI, p. 187
5 6 Whitney John Head M W 68 M1 38 Kansas U.S. Massachusetts None
-- Celia Wife F W 59 M1 38 9 9 Wisconsin Missouri Ohio None
-- Harry Son M W 27 S Wisconsin Kansas Wisconsin Barber
-- George Son M W 24 S Wisconsin Kansas Wisconsin Laborer, Lumber Yard
-- Howard Son M W 15 S Wisconsin Kansas Wisconsin None
And now I was stuck again, as the 1890 census was destroyed by fire. Then I noticed that John and Cecilia had been married for 28 years, indicating a marriage date of about 1872, so they should have been married when the 1880 census was taken. Sure enough, here they are:
1880 U.S. Census, Alma, Jackson County, WI, p. 8
75 80 Whitney John W M 31 Farmer Nebraska New York Conn
-- Celicia W F 26 Wife Keeping House Wisconsin Missouri Ohio
-- Ethel W F 7 Dau " Nebraska Wis
-- Lena W F 5 Dau " " "
-- Inez W F 2 Dau " " "
-- Adeline W F 52 Mother At Home Conn Conn Conn
Now we know that John was born in Nebraska and that his mother was named Adeline.
This could be them in 1860:
1860 U.S. Census, Black River Falls, Jackson Co., WI, p. 1065
107 94 Adaline Whitney 34 F Washwoman 80 Connecticut
John " 12 M Iowa
James " 8 M "
Joseph " 6 M Michigan
108 95 Rhoda Whitney 35 F Washwoman 75 Connecticut
Henry " 19 M Laborer Iowa
George " 11 M Arkansas
Rhoda " 7 F Michigan
David M. " 4 M "
Nancy Richardson 72 F Massachusetts
... in progress...
