Family:Whitney, Samuel (s1737-?)

Samuel⁵ Whitney (Elijah⁴, Richard³, John², Henry¹), son of Elijah⁴ and Rebecca (Seymour) Whitney, was born say 1737, Norwalk, CT, and died after 1752.

Phoenix says the following:

Samuel Whitney, b. at Norwalk, Conn.; was living at Norwalk, and fully fourteen years old, 30 Nov. 1752, when he chose John Seymour as his guardian; since which nothing is known of him, unless he was that Samuel Whitney, who, with his wife Sarah, was living at Woodbury, Conn., from 1772 to 1777.

Whether he was or was not Samuel Whitney of Woodbury is not proven. See his page for more discussion.
