Notes
There was another contemporary Ephraim6 Whitney who should not be confused with this man. That man lived in Sherburne, Chenango Co., NY, while this one was living in Potter Co., PA, in both 1830 and 1840.
One Jacob Whitney who was living alone in Hebron, Potter Co., PA, in 1840, may have been a younger brother.
There was an otherwise-unidentified "Epraim" Whitney over 45 in 1820 living in Salisbury, Herkimer Co., NY, with a possible brother Ebenezer Whitney, also over 45.
