Family:Whitney, Sarah (b1755-a1820)

Sarah Whitney, parentage unknown but perhaps related to Thomas Whitney (1714-1796), born sometime before 1755,^[1] died after 1820.^[2]

She was enumerated next door to William Whitney (b1755-a1800) in 1800 and was most likely related to him. It is possible that she was a widow who had been married to William's brother. It is also possible that she was the widow of Thomas Whitney (1714-1796).
