She is stepmother to her nieces and nephews-- her sister was also married to Joseph Lounsbury: <a href="http://www.whitneygen.org/databases/igmget.cgi/n=Whitney?I17326">http://www.whitneygen.org/databases/igmget.cgi/n=Whitney?I17326</a> These marriages did not necessarily take place in Onondaga County; they were travelling pastors, and these two were probably performed in Broome County. It doesn't say which Baptist church this is, but the Wordens were associated with the Primitive Baptists in Liberty, Sullivan Co., N.Y. <a href="http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyononda/CHURCH/firstbaptistchurchsyr.html">http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyononda/CHURCH/firstbaptistchurchsyr.html</a> (Whatever else it signified, "primitive" certainly applies to the records they kept! Pardon's paternal grandmother is totally unknown, and his mother-- see below-- and son-in-law in my male line are also ghostly and frustrating figures.) Two of the three DAR applicants who mentioned William Whitney descend from this Lounsbury line. (Actually, they used Michael Lounsbury to get in-- they considered poor William secondary.) The little evidence I've seen of William's children all points to the application of Dr. and Mrs. Hennessy of Illinois. They were born during the first Roosevelt administration (i.e., Teddy's), and so probably couldn't be of much help now. Do DAR applications mention all the children of the Patriot, or just the one in the applicant's line? This would be nice to know before sending them $30 or $40... It might also give clues to another Whitney mystery-- whether this very Pardon Worden [Jr.] is the grandson of Henry Whitney's descendant Amy <a href="http://www.whitneygen.org/databases/igmget.cgi/n=Henry?I820">http://www.whitneygen.org/databases/igmget.cgi/n=Henry?I820</a> . She had a daughter Molly-- not Mary-- Haines in 1769. Pardon's mother was also born Molly-- not Mary-- Haines in 1769. This latter Molly married Pardon Sr. in Sullivan Co. before 1800, and died at her daughter's in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, in 1859, but seems to have left almost no paper trail at all. Any ideas on how I can verify, or dismiss, this purported link? Do I get to wear two buttons at the reunion? (BTW, Molly saw the Revolution and just missed seeing the Civil War. Lucretia's father served in the Rev., and her twin sons fought-- one was killed-- in the C.W. Wonder how common these experiences were...) Thanks, and cheers, Ron Kyser
