He married, 14 Jun 1832, Thompson, CT, Mary Ann Parmenter,[1] daughter of Silas and Lucinda (Norcross) Parmenter. She was born 10 Aug 1811, Leominster, MA, and died 23 Mar 1882, Princeton, MA, aged 69 years 7 months 15 days, of disease of heart and dropsy, widowed.[2]

Notes

It seems extremely likely that he was the "Wm. A. Whitney" who died 27 Nov 1859, Leominster, MA, aged 50 years 1 month, of dropsy, farmer, born in Charlestown, son of Joseph and Betsey.[16] If so, his parents would seem to be the Joseph and Betsey (Lane) Whitney who were married 17 May 1807, Boston, MA.[17] This is partly because William's oldest son was given the middle name Lane.
