Hi,

I am thoroughly confused.! Can someone help me?

According to Bond's History of Watertown, Page 645, Line 75, Mary WHITNEY, dob 21 Apr 1694, married John FISKE, Jr. on 7 Jun 1711. This shows her as the daughter of Joseph WHITNEY and Martha BEACH.

According to "The BEMIS History and Genealogy, being an Account in Greater Part of the Descendants of Joseph BEMIS of Watertown, Mass", Page 3, by Colonel Thomas Waln-Morgan Draper, Mary WHITNEY, DOB 30 Sep 1689, married John FISKE, Jr. on 7 Jun 1711. This shows her as the daughter of Samuel WHITNEY and Mary BEMIS.

Which Mary is correct? Draper's book was published about 50 years later than Bond's. Is his information more accurate? Does anyone know? Can you cite another source for me?

I sure would appreciate some help.

Hi,

I am new to this group, and in fact to the study of my family's genealogy. I have recently been compiling family tree information that a number of my relatives who have the genealogy bug have collected over the years. One of the branches in my tree can be traced back to John and Elinor (-?-) Whitney of Watertown, MA., through their son John (bap. 14 Sep 1621, Isleworth, England).

While searching the internet recently, I was very surprised and interested to find a web site that traced the ancestery of John Whitney back through the European Royal families. After eagerly downloading a lot of information, I stumbled across another web site that referenced two papers in The American Genealogist (Donald Lines Jacobus, M.A., "Pre-American Ancestries: John Whitney of Watertown, Mass.," vol. 10 (1933-1934), pp. 84-88; and Reed, Paul C., "Whitney Origins Revisited: John-1 Whitney of Watertown, Massachusetts, and Henry-1 Whitney of Long Island and Norwalk, Connecticut," vol. 69, No. 1 (Jan 1994), pp. 9-14.). These papers cast a lot of doubt on this supposed royal linkage. However, the papers also hint that many people are defending this linkage. My personal take after reading the papers is that they have some good arguments, but that they are by no means conclusive.

I would like to know what the prevailing opinion about this controversy is? Do most people accept the conclusions of Jacobus and Reed? I suspect that this debate may have gone on in this group gefore, and if so I apologize in advance, and maybe someone can point me to a FAQ, or some archives that would discuss this topic.

Thanks for any light that you can shed on this topic for me!

Kevin Spaulding

P.S. Does anyone know where I can get a gedcom file for the supposed royal ancestery of John. (The web page I ran across was made with ged2html so I suspect that such files may be floating around, but I could not find any way to download the data from this particular web page.)

Boy have you opened up a can of worms! The controversy goes on and on. I think what it comes down to is information based on documented facts...the 'royal' lineage falls short of this in some of our minds.

Post any new findings to the group please. The 'royal' lineage as well as Elinor's surname are questions I have no answers too.

Don't be alarmed by the mail your question generates.

Welcome! That makes you a cousin of quite a few of us. We would like you to post as much of your line of descent as you would feel comfortable doing.

Kevin,

My opinion is that the ancestry is at best unproved and unlikely, and almost surely incorrect. There is a smidgeon of possibility that it is correct, but there is insufficient documentation to accept the link between Thomas WHITNEY of Westminster and his alleged father Robert, son of Sir Robert. In my mind the most telling argument against that acceptance is this. John-1 WHITNEY's nephew John, son of John-1's brother Robert, claimed to be heir male of the WHITNEY of Whitney family of Herefordshire, and submitted a pedigree (which is the *only* document supporting the alleged connection). His claim was

  • rejected* by authorities at the time, who were in a much better position to

know the facts than we are today. Furthermore, the nephew could not have been heir male, since John-1 was older than Robert, and so he and his descendants would have had precedence over Robert and his. It sounds like John, son of Robert, was trying to pull a fast one!

Anyone who claims that John-1 WHITNEY was a great-grandson of Sir Robert WHITNEY must supply proof. That proof is currently lacking. Any claimed genealogical link without proof cannot be accepted as correct by any serious genealogist.

Just my opinion. <grin>

Regards,

Robert

Dear WRG,

I have been asked, that if the proof of the parentage of Thomas WHITNEY of Westminster is lacking, why doesn't someone try to prove it, instead of believing everything they read. Here is my reply:

That's a very good question! There are members of the WRG who have examined some of the English records in order to research the parentage of Thomas WHITNEY of Westminster, father of John-1. Most of the records are unavailable here in the U.S., being available at the Public Record Office in London, the British Library in London, the College of Arms, or some of the various county record offices. As a result, you either have to go there or hire someone to go there for you and do look-ups. Furthermore, the WHITNEY family is spread over much of England, even in the 1500's, and so it is very difficult to pinpoint which record repositories will have the information we seek, and then which records in the repository are the ones to look at. Probably we will not discover proof of the parentage of Thomas without a comprehensive reconstruction of most or all of the WHITNEY families in all of England. As you might guess, this would be a big, expensive, time-consuming project, and probably no one in the WRG is really in a position to carry it out. With such old records, there are additional problems: finding people in unindexed records; deciphering old handwriting; reading the medieval Latin in which some of the records written; dealing with the destruction of many of the records due to fire, flood, pests, and the English Civil War; resolving directly conflicting statements in primary source records; and evaluating the trustworthiness of the surviving documents. The most accessible records have already been examined, as revealed by the works of Pierce, Phoenix, Jacobus, and Reed, where they cite the sources for their statements. Hopefully we will get lucky one day, and stumble on just the right record!

I hope this helps you understand why I rely on experts, their research and conclusions, while critically examining the evidence and opinions which they put forward. I don't just believe everything I read, I examine it very carefully to see if what is said is sensible, logical, and supported by the evidence. If it passes that test, I accept it. I can't afford the expense in money, time, and trouble to do the research myself, so I rely on those I consider experts, with reservations.

I might also point out that proving a link which is false is impossible, and can lead to a big waste of effort. That is why researchers pursue the most likely leads first.

In summary, "someone" has been trying to prove that link for about a hundred years, and so far no one has succeeded. The hunt continues for proof, and for alternate solutions, but don't hold your breath. We're trying, but with limited hope of success.

By the way, I would be the first to embrace the royal lineage when and if my standards for proof are met. So far, they haven't been.

Regards,

Robert

I can't afford the expense in money, time, and trouble to do the research myself, so I rely on those I consider experts, with reservations.

I might also point out that proving a link which is false is impossible, and can lead to a big waste of effort. That is why researchers pursue the most likely leads first.

In summary, "someone" has been trying to prove that link for about a hundred years, and so far no one has succeeded. The hunt continues for proof, and for alternate solutions, but don't hold your breath. We're trying, but with limited hope of success.

By the way, I would be the first to embrace the royal lineage when and if my standards for proof are met. So far, they haven't been.

Regards,

Robert

Hi,

I posted this previously but did not see it come through so will try again.

I am thoroughly confused.! Can someone help me?

According to Bond's History of Watertown, Page 645, Line 75, Mary WHITNEY, dob 21 Apr 1694, married John FISKE, Jr. on 7 Jun 1711. This shows her as the daughter of Joseph WHITNEY and Martha BEACH.

According to "The BEMIS History and Genealogy, being an Account in Greater Part of the Descendants of Joseph BEMIS of Watertown, Mass", Page 3, by Colonel Thomas Waln-Morgan Draper, Mary WHITNEY, DOB 30 Sep 1689, married John FISKE, Jr. on 7 Jun 1711. This shows her as the daughter of Samuel WHITNEY and Mary BEMIS.

Which Mary is correct? Draper's book was published about 50 years later than Bond's. Is his information more accurate? Does anyone know? Can you cite another source for me?

I sure would appreciate some help.

Hello All;

I've been adding the Whitney Lines to Witney12 database and in most cases the information is barebones, no dates for instance. If anyone would care to expand on the info I would include that also.

A word about the content of the Whitney database. I approached the building of the database as that of a compiler of members data, as Robert Ward has stated I accept the information and include it without question. I have on a number of occasions offered to discuss differences that arise and will change data if the original contributor agrees with the new data. If there is a particular area of disagreement, please contact me and I'll set up a dialog with the originator of the data and perhaps a we can come to a conclusion.

As to the establishment of a database for the VR's, the data that we have would have to be reformated so that fields can be created. That would require that each proposed field would have to be seperated by commas and the structure of the date have the commas removed. We then would have to add the town to each record so that when a sort is done the reference to the town is shown with the result of the sort. Other problems exist, but the main problem is that the user would have to have a database program, such as Paradox or Microsoft Access to use the database. I could build such a database and provide the results of a sort, but I don't know how to make the database available to the group. I know that some of our members are computer programers and maybe they can help with this problem.

Kevin (& WRG, which I CC'd after getting Jon Aston's comments):

Just a quick note at this time. You might want to consider holding back some of the detailed data on living persons, as they might become the subject of some kind of fraud if their Birthdates, parents names, etc., are to become available to any person exploring the Net. A number of people have limited their information for this reason, as credit card companies may use mother's maiden name or grandmother's birthdate as a telephone identifier.

Glad to have your line, and I won't pass on the late material. Please post it to the Whitney maillist if you are willing, as a number of our members try to keep the linkages to other current members in their own full Whitney database.

To WRG members:

I just bought FoxPro 2.6 for Windows to use for establishing my Whitney "facts" database, and will probably install it Sunday and start learning how to use it. I hope to be able to take advantage of Peg's start on Indexing the VR's and build her work right in with what I am trying to think through and design. The database developer/manager has been here since last Monday, but this is the craziest week of the year for me - my college's Jazz Band, which I direct, is doing it's big annual show last night and tonight, and we have been rehearsing every night this week. Once that is past, I'll have more time again to devote to my real love - genealogy.

Best Wishes and Happy Hunting

> their information for this reason, as credit card companies may use mother's > maiden name or grandmother's birthdate as a telephone identifier.

I am not sure that omitting information is a good solution. Some of us are trying to link up with living relatives. And it would be confusing for a message poster to leave out of his line his own mother's maiden name AND the family names of all her father's male line, or to leave out ourselves from our own lines (and most of us who post things to this list are still living, of course 8^), even if our mothers aren't), it seems unworkable to leave out enough information so that folks couldn't determine mothers' maiden names for most of us (Krehl, for me, used to be unbreakable secret code, eh?).

Since the mother's maiden name is already virtually necessarily compromised, folks including genealogy buffs should always give as the mother's maiden name some OTHER password, such as the maternal grandmother's maiden name, or a first cousin's mother's maiden name, some other favorite ancestor's maiden name (something you will remember).

Those who have been in computers since the bbs (bulletin board systems) days know that you should always give different passwords on different systems anyway, so unscrupulus system operators who know your password can't pose as you on different systems. Suggestion: Keep a file on your own computer with all your passwords, encrypt it if you want, but let's not compromise our genealogy work by omitting relevant information. In this day of big brother watching us and computer databases everywhere anyhow, I doubt that leaving certain items out of genealogy mailing lists and online databases is going to help a whole lot anyhow.


Gee that got wordy, but let me reveal that my own 27 year old daughter was shocked to find out how much information was available online about her (because a distant cousin through my paternal grandmother's sister's line was into this stuff before I got hooked).

It's a new world and I think we just have to live with it realistically.

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

Yours, Barry

Draper wins!

The will of Samuel WHITNEY of Watertown, dated 12 Feb 1731, mentions son-in-law John FISKE, whom he made executor, and four grandchildren John FISKE, Mary FISKE, Abigail FISKE, and Sarah FISKE (Middlesex Co. Probate Files, #24742). Mary had allegedly died 27 Feb 1726/7 (according to Bond, p. 211, line 2), so was not mentioned. This proves that Mary, daughter of Samuel and Mary (BEMIS) WHITNEY, b. 30 Sep 1689, Watertown, married John FISKE, 7 Jun 1711, Watertown.

Then who did Mary, daughter of Joseph and Martha (BEACH) WHITNEY, b. 21 Apr 1694, Watertown, marry? Why, she married John KNAPP, 13 Jul 1715, Watertown. This is the marriage assigned by Bond to Mary, daughter of Samuel. Since Joseph WHITNEY left no will, we cannot prove this in that way, and must rely on the process of elimination to identify the wife of John KNAPP.

Bond has the two first cousins switched. This way the brides were both aged 21, instead of Bond's way, where one was aged 17 and the other 25.

Robert

Date: Sat, 19 Apr 1997 18:22:57 -0400 (EDT) To: [email protected] From: "Robert L. Ward" at <img src="/robertward.gif"> Subject: Which Benjamin WHITNEY d. 1736 in Watertown?

Dear WRG,

Different authors have made various statements alleging that various persons named Benjamin WHITNEY died in 1736 in Watertown. The purpose of this message is to explain which one really did.

There is no death record in the Watertown vital records for a Benjamin WHITNEY in 1736. There are, however, probate records for such a person. In Middlesex County Probate Files, #24606, appears the will of Benjamin WHITNEY of Watertown dated 14 Jun 1736, and proved 19 Oct 1736. In it he mentions wife Elizabeth, son Benjamin WHITNEY, son Samuel WHITNEY, daughter Elizabeth WHITNEY (single woman), and son Joseph WHITNEY (made executor). Witnesses were John WHITNEY, John TAYNTER, and John COOLEIDG. Executor's bond was posted on 8 Nov 1736 by Joseph WHITNEY, with John WHITNEY and John TAYNTER, sureties, all of Watertown.

The testator can easily be identified with the Benjamin WHITNEY who married on 1 Mar 1709/10, Watertown, Elizabeth FISKE, dau. of John and Abigail (PARKS) FISKE, b. 20 Jan 1686, Watertown. They had four children born in Watertown, according to the vital records: Joseph, b. 3 Dec 1710; Benjamin, b. 14 Sep 1712; Samuel, b. 22 Nov 1715; and Elizabeth, b. 9 Mar 1719. These are the same four children named in the will, and the oldest son was the one named executor.

Which Benjamin WHITNEY was it who married Elizabeth FISKE? There are three candidates: 

 A. Benjamin-3 WHITNEY, son of John-2 and Ruth (REYNOLDS) WHITNEY (John-1), b.
   28 Nov 1660, Watertown, MA.
 B. Benjamin-4 WHITNEY, son of Joseph-3 and Martha (BEACH) WHITNEY (John-2,
   John-1), born 31 Jan 1684/5, Watertown, MA.
 C. Benjamin-4 WHITNEY, son of Benjamin-3 and Abigail (HAGAR) WHITNEY (John-2,
   John-1), b. ca. 1691, Watertown, MA.

There are other individuals named Benjamin WHITNEY, but they did not live in Watertown at this period.

In an earlier posting, I showed that it was (C) who died 13 Nov 1713, Watertown, MA, as "Benjamin WHITNEY, Jr.", so he is eliminated.

(A) married, 30 Mar 1687, Watertown, Abigail HAGAR, and had six children: 

 1. Abigail-4, b. 3 May 1688, m. Richard SAWTELL
 2. Benjamin-4, b. ca. 1691, d. 13 Nov 1713 (=C above), unmarried.
 3. John-4, b. 15 Jun 1694, m. Beriah BEMIS
 4. David-4, b. 16 Jun 1697, m. Rebecca FILLEBROWN
 5. Ruth-4, b. 10 Jul 1698, m. John BOND
 6. Daniel-4, b. 17 Jul 1700, m. Dorothy TAINTER

As nearly as we can tell, all these except the second, Benjamin-4, were living in 1736. If (A) married secondly Elizabeth FISKE in 1709/10, and died in 1736, why weren't these children mentioned in the will? There is no good reason to explain this.

As a result, I conclude that it was (B) who married Elizabeth FISKE in 1709/10 and left the 1736 will. Supporting this conclusion is the fact that (B) had a brother John-4 WHITNEY, b. 29 Jul 1680, who is the most likely candidate for the witness to the 1736 will and the surety on the executor's bond for Joseph-5 WHITNEY.

By the way, no death record or probate records have been found for (A), which would have been helpful in sorting out this situation.

Regards,

Robert

According to Henry Bond, _Genealogies_and_History_of_Watertown_, vol. 1, p. 644, Abigail-3 (WHITNEY) HUTCHINS, daughter of Joshua-2 and Abigail (TARBELL) WHITNEY, was b. 1673, and d. 1705 in Groton. She m. 1692, John HUTCHINS, and had two sons and three daughters. The only child on whom I have any data is John, Jr. In Joshua WHITNEY's will, 17 Apr 1713, he mentions his eldest daughter HUTCHINS's children: her eldest son John HUTCHINS and the rest of her children, all under 21, including her three daughters.

Hi All. 

   I have some info that might help someone.  In the search for my Great

Grandfather Daniel James Whitney, wife Dilly Jane, children, Harvey, Delmar, Ida, Benjamin and Marquis, I wrote National Archives seeking info as to whether he might have been in the Civil War. 

   I received back a bunch of copies about the service in that War, about

another Daniel J. Whitney, but wasn't the right one. He was born January 22, 1833, in Canajoharie, N. H. was a farmer before service, died in Glenville, N. Y. Nov. 4, 1912. His wife was name Adeline Tiffany, married September 3, 1857 at Saltspring, Otsogo Couinty, N. Y. His children were James E. Whitney, born Jan. 17, 1860, William born May 13, 1868, Emma S., born August 11, 1871, Charles born Sept. 26, 1874, Cora Bell, born Feb. 21, 1877, Arthur, born Aug 16, 1882. Daniel served as a private in Company B, 115th Regiment of New York, beginning August 21, 1862. 

     I have papers on all this and much more information about his health,

treatment, death, etc., If this fits anyone, if they will let me know their address will send it all to them by Snail Mail. Regards, Ray Whitney, Topeka, Kansas.

Heidi: According to Marvin Clayton Hutchins in his genealogy "Nicholas Hutchins of Lynn and Groton", pub.1989, pp.1, 2,3, Abigail Whitney, daughter of Joshua and Abigail (Tarbell) was b.1673 and d.1705/6. She was married about 1692(prob. in Groton,Ma.) to John Hutchins. (She was his first wife of three.) John Hutchins was b.3 Jun 1668 in Lynn, Mass. Bay Colony and he died 20 Mar 1756 in Killingly, Conn. (His name sometimes spelled Huchen(s) or Huchin.) His father was Nicholas Hutchins(same variations in spelling) b.1637/8 and died Sept. 1693 intestate. Nicholas married 4 Apr. 1666, in Lynn, Elizabeth Farr, dau. of George and Elizabeth (Stowers) Farr.(I have a little more info. on these people if wanted.) 

     The children of John Hutchins and Abigail, all born in Groton,

were: John b. 13 Oct. 1693 Joshua b. 5 Nov. 1696 

       Abigail b. 14 Sept. 1698      Sarah b. 6 Sept. 1700
       Benjamin b. 17 Aug. 1705

The genealogist, Marvin Hutchins, is living in California and is quite ill. I purchased a copy of the Hutchins book from him a few months ago. (I live in Canada.) Hope this helps you out. (I hope to trace Nicholas back to England one day, but am having trouble doing so.) To the Whitney group: If I have incorrectly addressed this, please would you see that Heidi gets it?! 

                                           Rosemary Linn

(Joshua b. 1635 is one of my ancestors.)

Paula,

I'm posting this to the WRG in case it of interest to anyone else.

I've found the folowing information for you:

Ellen Frances Whitney was the 1st libraian in Corcord appointed in 1873. i was unable to find any birth or marriage records, but did get a copy of the death record. She died Apr.26,1933 at 90y 1m 5d.

Helen W. Whitney [niece to Ellen] was the second librarian for Corcord holding the post from 1899-1919. I found no birth,marriage or death records for her.

Sarah L.[Whitney] Kelly, b. July 6,1838 [Concord VR pg 321] she was the daug. of William[born in Lincoln MA] and Sarah Wheeler. (I also found a sister Caroline Azubah Whitney , b. Oct 18,1840). Sarah Louisa Whitney married William Kelly Jr. on Jan 20, 1861 in Lincoln MA. Sarah was 22 yrs old at the time of marriage. William was also 22 yrs old, living in Boston and was a Captain of ship. His parents were William and Jane Merrill. Sarah d

The only Emma Kelly I could find was a death record of Emma daug of William Kelley and Jane Merrill, date of death Jan.30,1925

I made photocopies of all I could so if you send me your snail mail address I'll send them along.


Hope this is of some help.

I have conclusive evidence that my antecedent Jesse Whitney married Mary Sawyer in Saco, Maine in 1786. But I am not sure if she was the daughter of David and Hepzibah Sawyer or one of David's brothers. Does anyone have insight on this? If so please let me know with references.

I also am an antecedent of Thomas Dyer, Jr. of Saco through his son Elbridge, who moved to Ohio. I am having trouble determining his lineage. Can someone help?

Thanks

       I did a search on my name, Jarvis Whitney, wth Webcrawler. It

listed my name on several websites as I do a newspaper column on wine that also runs on the web (http://www.bcwine.com). 

       But it also came up with an unusual entry -- a Jarvis Whitney

Greene born about 1940 in Idaho (mother: Fanny Whitney). 

       The brief info was from a genealogy site somewhere but I couldn't

find any more information or the site (I'll try some more). 

       Does anyone know of this individual.

                                                               -- Jarvis

Cousins,

This lady needs more help to find links to her Whitneys. Special thanks to arvwhit who earlier found some relevant info in ancestral file that I snailmailed to her.

Please send whatever may be relevant to her at her son Christopher's e-mail address: Penelope Woodford <[email protected]>

If you'd also cc me so I know where we stand, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, Barry

Barry, 

 Thank you for the Whitney info you sent to me via snail mail.  I

appreciate your taking the time to do that. 

 I wish that I was on-line.  My husband and I have been discussing

it for some time. This is being sent to you by my son who is a student at VCU here in Richmond. Please feel free to contact me through his e-mail. The only drawback is that he isn't at school everyday. Hopefully, I will be on-line in the near future. 

 I do have the info which you sent to me.  In fact, I have spouses

(and some children) for all of Lovet's children with the exception of Elizabeth J. and Lydia Emaline. A friend found church records in Spurgeon, IN which indicated Lydia ran off with a married man. What I am looking for are the parents of Lovet P. Whitney and his wife Marion Hudgens (Huggins, etc.). His mother's name was Sarah. This was found on a marriage permission in Butler Co., KY, for Lovet P. and for his brother Simon. Sarah later married a Joseph Hardgrove. I know Marion's parents were Elizabeth and William. Wm died in Canada during the War of 1812. I would like more info on that family, also. 

 Thanks again for your help.  I've been very frustrated trying to

find info on any SC Whitney families. The only info I seem to be able to find is on Whitney's from the New England states. I'll be happy to have anything you can send me on Whitney.

Sincerely, Penelope Woodford

Chris 

        Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Cousins all,

Margaret H. Burnette would like help in finding her Whitney ancestors. Her address is 2213 Seaside Road, York, South Carolina 29745.

Her mother told her she was "related in some way to Eli Whitney" (Imagine THAT!)

>From an 1885 MN census of the Town of Morrisville, Crow Wing Co. (written beside this is Ft. Ripley P.D. but I do not know what that refers to), MN, she has four listings:

Jacob N. Whitney, age 40, b NY abt 1845 Sarah Whitney, age 22, b CT abt 1863 Annie Whitney, age 0, b MN abt 1885 John Franklin Whitney, age 70, b VT abt 1815 

    he may have had a brother Dr. Jacob Whitney of Washington, DC


JFW (if I read her inquiry correctly) is the father of her great grandmother: Mary Jane Whitney + Samuel Morgan Beckman

Can any of you help her to link up? If you snailmail her directly, please E-mail me to let me know what you found. If you prefer to E-mail the information to me, I'll snailmail it to her. Why can't EVERYBODY be online?! 8^)

Thanks, Barry
