For what it's worth, I did find a Samuel Whitney, but in the 1800 census for Oneida cnty. Oneida did not appear as a county in the 1790. Samuel was in the town of Westmoreland. I don't know how close that was to Paris/now Kirkland. Jennifer, CT In a message dated 5/22/2004 9:20:58 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
