Horace Burnham Whitney
Greetings Robert Ward:
I Bruce Thomas Whitney have been independantly searching the Whitney lineage. I've reviewed much of your lineage of Thomas Whitney 1550, his descendant was my relative Horace B. Whitney, born 1806. that would be my great, great great grandfather. I've located a page of the, family Bible of Lucetta Frazier Whitney who was Horace B. wife which gives the date of his birth and death. Lucetta remarried a Fletcher and perhaps a Todd. I've the Fletcher line also traced back to 1765. I've the family lines from Horace through myself pretty well documented from Census, birth, marriage and death certificates, as well as family notes from family Bibles etc....
I can be contacted via email: [email protected].
I most appreciated your work on the Thomas (1550) connection to possibly a Robert of 1500??? and back from there to Robert de Whitney of 1210, and read with great enthusiasm the discussion of Wed. June 26, 2004
I certainly can fill out the lineage from Horace Burnham Whitney forward for you to present day, at least in respects to my direct lineage. I've got those details and documentation if you are interested. I'll try and add names to this site as I can spare the time from time to time..... can email the Bible document for you to see Horace born 9-13-1806 in Lansingburg, NY. and died 9-21-1831 drowning in the Mississippi River 40 miles above Ft. Armstrong at the age of 25 years and 8 months according to the family Bible. He was the son of Luther and Jerusha (Burnham) Whitney
Thanks and take care in your searching! Bruce T. Whitney
Thank you.
Thank you for your welcome and for your corrections. I am happy to have both. I am beginning to communicate with cousins (few in number), by email and hope that I can add to your massive project. Although my sister is convinced that we are connected to at least the most wealthy of the Whitneys, my aim is a bit more modest, to help my children and grandchildren know better where they came from. I did see the theory last night that DNA samples suggest a connection between Ebenezer and John. More puzzles. Good, I suspect, expecially for a mathematician.
Thank you again.

Hi Robert, I was reviewing the page of my GGfather, Charles Mayo Whitney, and it seems like several links to references and pictures have been changed or deleted. Also several references are listed twice. For instance ref to the book of lawyers in St. Louis and the censuses. I thought we had an actual link to the Google book collection and/or a copy of the actual pages where he is mentioned and his picture shows. I wonder why there are duplicate entries. Should I delete them and go about repairing the page. Maybe there is a robot at work which did these things. Also why, when clicking the link to the census does it show ALL Whitneys and not just the one (s) pages mentioning the individual in question? just a very course search link? Similarly when I click on a ref to a picture I uploaded, it just takes mt to the archive page of all pictures...and by the way, my uploaded pics aren't even there. Myabe this is all a result of migration to a newer version of wiki or something. I am certainly confused. Thanks for your help and guidance. Curt Whitney
