William W.2 Whitney (Thomas1), son of Thomas1 and Mary (-----) Whitney), was born 17 Jun 1800, Lexington, Fayette Co., KY. He died of cholera in 1849.
He married, 15 Sep 1823, Emily Satterwhite. She died 2 Jan 1834.
It seems likely he married again, to Sarah Ann -----, who appears in the 1850 census, below. She was born about 1798, KY, and died after 1850.

Samuel Bullock. See Notes below. iv. John W. Whitney, b. 10 Oct 1829. v. William Whitney, b. ca. 1833, KY; d. after 1880, then unmarried.
Notes
Note that if Elizabeth O. (Whitney) Bullock's age on the 1850 census is correct, then she could not have been a daughter of Thomas Whitney as he died in 1819. She was probably a granddaughter. The Sarah Ann Whitney enumerated with her family is most likely her mother, probably the wife of son William W. Whitney.
