Family:Whitney, Samuel (1734-?)
Samuel5 Whitney (Enoch4, Ebenezer3, Richard2, John1), son of Enoch4 and Thankful (Parke) Whitney, was born 24 May 1734, Plainfield, CT,[1] and baptized 7 Jul 1743, Preston, CT.[2]
Sandiford makes him identical to Samuel Whitney of Woodbury, CT,[3] q.v., but proof seems to be lacking.
