The above ships were barkentines or schooners. Most of them came
around the Horn and stopped in Panama. Many people were from the
East and changed ships in Panama. No reason given for not
starting their journey in New York, Philadelphia on in
Boston. Will look into this. There must be a list somewhere of
those who departed from the Eastern ports.

to San Francisco. The overland trains had been in service only
one year before this list was made. originally the passengers
debanked at the Oakland wharf, until Nov 5, 1871, then they ended
their journey at Oakland or Vallejo, Ca. After this time they
"arrived San Francisco." These were first class passengers.
Those on the Omaha trains remained for the trip to Ca. If there
was a note that they were found departing Ogden, Utah a couple of
days later, they were on Omaha trains. If not on the Ogden train,
they debarked between Omaha and Ogden or in Ogden.

WHITNEYS OF IOWA
William Henry Whitney, architect and builder of Mount Pleasant,
Iowa, was born in Ross County, Ohio 7 Feb. 1840. He was the son
of William and Mary (Ressel) Whitney. William Sr. was a native of
Conn. Mary Ressel was born in Ohio. They were married in Ross
County, Ohio where their families had moved and pioneered the
area. William Sr. was a blacksmith, and worked at this trade for
many years.
In 1845 he moved his family to Putnam County, Indiana, and then
to Montgomery and later to Tippecanoe County, in Indiana. Here he
bought a farm and combined the two trades. In 1854 William Sr.
moved his family to Henry County, Iowa, and found a pleasant area
in which to live, called by that name, Mount Pleasant.
Later he sold his farm and bought a farm in Marion Twp. However,
he sold this land and removed to Nebraska in 1888.
To William and Mary Whitney were born six children. Mary Whitney
died in 1859, and in 1861 William Whitney married Ann Eliza
Miller, by whom he had two more children. The family moved to
Iowa when William Henry Whitney was fourteen years old. In 1860
he married Angelina Miller, the daughter of Arthur Miller. They
had two children, Mary F. and William A. Whitney.
Angeline Miller Whitney died shortly after the birth of her
second child, and on 6 Dec. 1867 William Whitney married Nancy A.
Lamb, daughter of Jacob and Sidney (Farrell) Lamb, who was born
10 March, 1848 in Fulton County, Illinois. Four sons came from
this marriage: Charles H. born 25 Sept. 1868; John L. born 12
Jan. 1870; George W. born 17 July 1871; Edwin born 2 March 1873.
Mr. Whitney was a builder and contractor, and many residences in
Henry County, Iowa bear his unique and personal stamp of quality
and workmanship of the highest standard. In 1887 he erected a
handsome church building for the Methodist Episcopal Society of
New London. Perhaps he was best known for the re building of the
Catholic Church of Mount Pleasant, destroyed by a cyclone or
tornado in July 1882, which he repaired and re assembled quickly
for that congregation.

1718 1968. Charlotte Whitney, wife of Benjamin C. Whitney, died 6
April, 1862, age 39 years.

1810, was the son of General Joshua Whitney of Revolutionary

William died in New Orleans in 1857, and his widow married Major
Edmund Pendleton Gaines. An interesting note is that Myra Whitney
Gaines sued the state of North Carolina for seven million
dollars. Apparently she died penniless in, 1865, so she did not
win her suit!
John R. Whitney, Jr. of Broome County, New York, born 8 Oct.
1808, the son of John R. Whitney, married Emma Fanner about 1834
