Rev. Quincy8 Whitney (Samuel7, Silas6, Samuel5, William4, Nathaniel3, John2, John1), son of Samuel7 and Abigail (Wilder) Whitney, was born 7 Oct 1822, Ashburnham, MA, and died 8 Aug 1898, Cambridge, MA [also recorded in Lancaster, MA], aged 75 years 10 months 1 day, of creeping paralysis.[1]

He married 8 Sep 1846, Lancaster, MA, Mandana Mary Whittemore,[2] of Lancaster, daughter of Rev. Benjamin and Mandana (Ballou) Whittemore. She was born 17 Apr 1824, Scituate, MA, and died 23 Oct 1857, Norwich, CT [recorded Lancaster, MA], aged 33 years, of consumption.[3]

Rev. Quincy Whitney, son of Samuel and Abigail (Wilder) Whitney, of Ashburnham. He attended the academy several terms in his early manhood, afterward completing a course of study for the Universalist ministry, to which he was ordained about the year 1847. Some two years later he assumed the pastorate of the church and society of that faith in Westminster, a position he occupied till 1853. He had many personal friends in the town, having been born in the south part of Ashburnham, which gave him a prestige enjoyed by none of his predecessors. When he entered upon his labors there he was in the prime of life, and took up the work he found to do with great earnestness, carrying it forward with energy and persevering zeal. Of scholarly attainments and good address, with more than average oratorical power and skill, he awakened fresh interest in the church and its officers, renewing the prosperity of former days. Under his administration somewhat extensive improvements were made in the church edifice, and considerable increase of attendance was secured. Strongly denominational in his convictions and tastes, his preaching reached and influenced his hearers for good, chiefly through the doctrines and ideas of his denomination. His subsequent places of settlement were at Quincy, Adams and Wakefield. He married Mandana, daughter of Rev. Benjamin Whittemore, of Lancaster, by whom he had children. She died some years since, and he has been residing more recently at Cambridge, holding no regular pastorate, but supplying vacant pulpits from time to time as opportunity offered; resided Lancaster and Cambridge, MA.
