I. Hannah Whitney, was named in the will of her grandmother Hoyt, of Ridgefield, Conn., in June 1779. A Hannah Whitney, of Danbury, Conn., perhaps this one, married ----- Bass, and, after his death, Elijah Whitney,1 of Danbury, a farmer, whose origin is unknown.

Y., and from there, about 1793 or 1794, to Leeds, near Gananoqui, Upper Canada, where they died; she, about 1810; he, about 1815.

II. Hannah Whitney, b. at Greenfield, Conn., 6 Nov. 1768; bap. at Greenfield, 13 Nov. 1768; married, 23 Feb. 1790, at Greenfield, Abel Downs, a tailor, who was born at Greenfield, 11 Dec. 1770. They settled at Weston, Conn., where she died, 16 Jan. 1823, and was buried. He died, 3 Jan. 1857, at Danbury, Conn., and was buried in Wooster Cemetery. He was elected drummer of a company of militia, under Capt. Josiah Whitney, in Greenfield, in Oct. 1793, and one of his children says that he served as a drummer in the war of 1812; while a tradition less trustworthy calls him a drummer in the Revolution.

III. Mariana Whitney, b. at Greenfield, Conn., 26 March 1774; bap. at Greenfield, 29 May 1774; married ----- Bradley; and died before 14 Ap. 1821, when her son, Nathan Bradley, received her share in her father's estate. The record of baptism calls her Mary Ann; but we have given the name as generally reported by the family.
