We are looking for more information on Jacob and Nellie Freeman Whitney's family and ancestry. We have them in Andes in 1850 and 1860 but not in 1855. Several of the children are there in 1850, 55, 60 & 65 and beyond. Jacob and Nellie died in a house fire in 1861 but all their children survived as they were elsewhere as adults. Some of the children were born Ulster Co. There were said to be 13 in all. The names I've seen so far include William R. Whitney who seemed to have been head of the family for some time. Others included Henry, Freeman, George (Civil War), Eli, Amanda. No parents for Jacob Whitney or Nellie Freeman have been found. Thanks!! Sally Chirlin
