Family:Whitney, Adrial L. (c1826-1906)
Adrial L. Whitney (Leonard), son of Leonard and Achsah (-----) Whitney, was born ca. 1826, Medfield, MA, and died 17 Mar 1906, Union, Knox Co., ME.
He married 23 Aug 1850, Dedham, Norfolk Co., MA, Margaret Cronin. She was born ca. 1830, Ireland, and died 5 Apr 1915, Union, Knox Co., ME. In 1850, she was residing in a boarding house in Dedham, MA (listed as Mary Cronin).
About 25 Aug 1850, the family moved to Maine.
In 1860, the family was enumerated in Union, ME. Adrial was listed under the name "E. L. Whitney". Their son Erastus L. was listed as "E. L. Jr.", indicating that Adrial was perhaps named Erastus L. Whitney, although this could have been a mistake.

In 1880, Mary M. Whitney, age 73, with children Laura, 37, and Granville G. Whitney, 33, were enumerated next door to Adrial's family. It is not known what, if any, the relationship was.
