Robert: I guess I should have tried the search engine with that alternate spelling for Phylinda. My face is appropriately red! Allan
Ida Whitney (b. Sept. 16 1854) is my great grandmother (John, John, Timothy, Joseph, Palmer, Lemuel). She is the 5th child of Lemuel Paul Whitney and Lydia Van Slyke. Ida married DeWitt Clinton Ide on June 7, 1876 in Sycamore, IL and they had 4 children - Jessie, Clarence, George Palmer (my grandfather) and Nellie May. My grandfather wrote down copious notes about my Whitney ancestors. I would be happy to share this information. However, grandfather's notes do not contain much information about my IDE ancestors. I only know about great grandfather Harvey Ide who married Sarah DeLong. They moved to Genoa, IL @ 1846 from New Hampshire? or Vermont? That is as far back as I can go. Does anyone have any knowledge of the ancestors of Harvey Ide? Thank you. Janet Lynne Ide Rubertone

Leonard-6 WHITNEY was son of Joseph-5 and Mary (WOODS) WHITNEY [Joseph-4, Joseph-3, Jonathan-2, John-1]. He and Philanda BLOOD were married 8 Aug 1820 in Acworth, Sullivan Co., NH, and he died 26 Jul 1886 in Langdon, NH. All of this is according to Pierce and the LDS International Genealogical Index.

Jacob and Ann Maria, Nov. 14, 1839. [p. 80] Albert Henry, s. Jacob and Ann Maria, July 6, 1842. [p. 80] Joseph Francis, s. Jacob and Ann Maria, Dec. 14, 1844. [p. 80] John Philip, s.Jacob and Ann Maria, Apr. 9, 1847. [p. 80] Charlotte Maria, d. Jacob and Ann M., July 31, 1849. [p. 80] I didn't see a marriage in Dorchester for Jacob and Ann Maria, so I searched the combined index and found their marriage in Cambridge, Massachusetts: Jacob S. of Milton, and Ann Maria Cannell, Dec. 25, 1838. Cambridge There appears to have been just one Whitney family in Milton at the time - that of Moses Whitney: 1840 U.S. Census, Milton, Norfolk, MA, p. 348 Moses Whitney 0000110010000-0010121000000 1830 U.S. Census, Milton, Norfolk Co., MA, p. 125 Moses Whitney 0002200100000-0012211000000 (Ancestry has him indexed under Whiting, in error) 1820 U.S. Census, Milton, Norfolk Co., MA, p. 125 Moses Whitney 110211-01310 4 in Manufacturing 1810 U.S. Census, Milton, Norfolk Co., MA, p. 632 Moses Whitney 21220-11111 1800 U.S. Census, Dorchester, Norfolk Co., MA, p. 118 Whitney Moses 11100-10100 I have identified this Moses Whitney as being GEN. MOSES WHITNEY (Jacob, Jonas, Eleazer, Thomas, John), b. Jan 2,1775; m. Apr 14, 1797, at Milton, Rebecca DUNBAR. More can be found in the Pierce transcript on the WRG website at http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/extracts/pierce/p191-195.htm#P1212 Note that Pierce shows this Moses as having a son named WARREN JACOB who was born in 1811, married (no mention of a name), and died in 1891. Was our Jacob S. Whitney the same as Warren Jacob Whitney? Were there two children - Warren Jacob and Jacob S.? Did Pierce confuse these two? The Milton vital record transcriptions clearly show the following: Hannah, d. Moses and Rebeckah, Nov. 19, 1797. Moses, s. Moses and Rebecca, Oct. 7, 1802. Mary, d. Moses and Rebecca, Apr. 17, 1805. Seth Dunbar, s. Moses and Rebecca, Sept. 13, 1807. Jacob Warren, s. Moses and Rebecca, Jan. 2, 1811. I wonder if perhaps the birth in 1811 was a set of twins, named Jacob and Warren? In any event, I think this Moses family is a good lead, but more research is needed. *IF* this Moses line turns out to be correct, then your line would be as follows: Gordon Wesley-10, Albert Edward-9, Edward F.-8, Jacob S.-7, Moses-6, Jacob-5, Jonas-4, Eleazer-3, Thomas-2, John-1 Whitney If anyone can add to the above information or sees any flaws in my research, please speak up! I hope this helps!

WHITNEY died in Boston in 1894, according to the index to Massachusetts vital records 1841-1910 (volume 447, page 71), and Warren J. WHITNEY died in Boston in 1891 (volume 420, page 82), so they must be separate people. Furthermore, the 1810 census record of Gen. Moses WHITNEY's family shows 2 males under 10, and they would be Moses, Jr., and Seth Dunbar, who would have been 7 and 2, leaving no place for Jacob S. if he had been born before that census date. The ages he gave in the censuses of 1850 through 1880 imply a birth before the census date in 1810. In addition, the censuses say he was born in Maine (or New Hampshire), and his parents were born in Maine (according to the 1880 census) so Gen. Moses WHITNEY could not be his father. I suggest writing to obtain the death record of Jacob S. WHITNEY in 1894 in Boston to get the names of his parents. I found Jacob S. WHITNEY in the Boston city directories of 1870, 1872, 1875, 1885, and 1890: . Do our Maine WHITNEY experts have anything to contribute about the ancestry of Jacob S. WHITNEY, born about 1809 in Maine, parents born in Maine? Regards, Robert Robert L.

I have a Great grandmother who was born in Manchester, England during the first quarter of 1857. She married James E. Daly on 26 Dec.1874 in Lawrence, Ma. She died in Gardiner, Maine 1946 at an age of 93. Her name was Mary Jane Whitney. Does anyone know of her and her siblings etc. Thank you, Kent [email protected]

WHITNEY died in Boston in 1894, according to the index to Massachusetts vital records 1841-1910 (volume 447, page 71), and Warren J. WHITNEY died in Boston in 1891 (volume 420, page 82), so they must be separate people. Furthermore, the 1810 census record of Gen. Moses WHITNEY's family shows 2 males under 10, and they would be Moses, Jr., and Seth Dunbar, who would have been 7 and 2, leaving no place for Jacob S. if he had been born before that census date. The ages he gave in the censuses of 1850 through 1880 imply a birth before the census date in 1810. In addition, the censuses say he was born in Maine (or New Hampshire), and his parents were born in Maine (according to the 1880 census) so Gen. Moses WHITNEY could not be his father. I suggest writing to obtain the death record of Jacob S. WHITNEY in 1894 in Boston to get the names of his parents. I found Jacob S. WHITNEY in the Boston city directories of 1870, 1872, 1875, 1885, and 1890: <http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/directories/ma/boston.html>. Do our Maine WHITNEY experts have anything to contribute about the ancestry of Jacob S. WHITNEY, born about 1809 in Maine, parents born in Maine? Regards, Robert Robert L.

[p. 80] I didn't see a marriage in Dorchester for Jacob and Ann Maria, so I searched the combined index and found their marriage in Cambridge, Massachusetts: Jacob S. of Milton, and Ann Maria Cannell, Dec. 25, 1838. Cambridge There appears to have been just one Whitney family in Milton at the time - that of Moses Whitney: 1840 U.S. Census, Milton, Norfolk, MA, p. 348 Moses Whitney 0000110010000-0010121000000 1830 U.S. Census, Milton, Norfolk Co., MA, p. 125 Moses Whitney 0002200100000-0012211000000 (Ancestry has him indexed under Whiting, in error) 1820 U.S. Census, Milton, Norfolk Co., MA, p. 125 Moses Whitney 110211-01310 4 in Manufacturing 1810 U.S. Census, Milton, Norfolk Co., MA, p. 632 Moses Whitney 21220-11111 1800 U.S. Census, Dorchester, Norfolk Co., MA, p. 118 Whitney Moses 11100-10100 I have identified this Moses Whitney as being GEN. MOSES WHITNEY (Jacob, Jonas, Eleazer, Thomas, John), b. Jan 2,1775; m. Apr 14, 1797, at Milton, Rebecca DUNBAR. More can be found in the Pierce transcript on the WRG website at http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/extracts/pierce/p191-195.htm#P1212 Note that Pierce shows this Moses as having a son named WARREN JACOB who was born in 1811, married (no mention of a name), and died in 1891. Was our Jacob S. Whitney the same as Warren Jacob Whitney? Were there two children - Warren Jacob and Jacob S.? Did Pierce confuse these two? The Milton vital record transcriptions clearly show the following: Hannah, d. Moses and Rebeckah, Nov. 19, 1797. Moses, s. Moses and Rebecca, Oct. 7, 1802. Mary, d. Moses and Rebecca, Apr. 17, 1805. Seth Dunbar, s. Moses and Rebecca, Sept. 13, 1807. Jacob Warren, s. Moses and Rebecca, Jan. 2, 1811. I wonder if perhaps the birth in 1811 was a set of twins, named Jacob and Warren? In any event, I think this Moses family is a good lead, but more research is needed. *IF* this Moses line turns out to be correct, then your line would be as follows: Gordon Wesley-10, Albert Edward-9, Edward F.-8, Jacob S.-7, Moses-6, Jacob-5, Jonas-4, Eleazer-3, Thomas-2, John-1 Whitney If anyone can add to the above information or sees any flaws in my research, please speak up! I hope this helps!

[Harvard] Whitney and Mrs. Rosalie Loew Whitney Travis was my grandfather's older brother. Rosalie put my mother thru Radcliffe. There is a gathering of that branch of the Whitneys this weekend in Maine, but I can't go: I have a JOB interview at Seton Hall U. I'll let you know how it turns out. Emphasis is on Rosalie here but there is some here on Travis: http://www.law.stanford.edu/library/wlhbp/papers0203/rblumkin-WhitneyF01.pdf And you can do a Google search on THW. thomas kavanagh
I'm sorry that my computer changes the addresses that I put in sometimes and sends them to REQuest. I apologize and hope I didn't screw up the works. RZP
Robert and all: I most HAPPILY stand corrected. No matter where I looked or how hard I tried to find it, I could find no record of any first marriage to a Lydia. At the same time, I couldn't find anything to deny what was in the "Watertown Genealogies" On the grounds that I have the greatest of trust in Robert's research and analysis, I will happily scrap the "first" wife and install Mary Buckmaster in that place.

Actually, it seems that Mary BUCKMASTER was Joshua WHITNEY's first wife and Abigail TARBELL his second. Some old references show a first wife Lydia -----, but there is no credible evidence of this to my knowledge. Probably it is an error confusing Joshua WHITNEY with his brother Jonathan, who did have a wife Lydia JONES. Regards, Robert Mr. Robert L.

Dear Sue: According to the Watertown Vital Records, Book 1, p. 36, Abigail Tarbell married (Dea.) JOSHUA Whitney as his third wife on 30 Sep 1672, following the death of Mary Buckmaster, his second wife, on 17 Mar 1671/72. This last union produced ten children, the information about which I can supply if you are interested. According to the "Watertown Genealogies" that are printed as a part of the Watertown Vital Records in the series of MA Vital Records to 1850, (Vol. 1, p. 598) Abigail was born in England and with her brother, Thomas Tarball/Tarbell Jr. came to Watertown about 1656 with their parents, Thomas Tarball and wife Mary. After their arrival, two more children were born to this couple, Elizabeth, b. 5 Jan 1656/57, and William, b. 26 Feb 1658/59. The family later moved to Groton, Middlesex, MA. I hope that this information meets your needs. I have needed only this much on the Tarball/Tarbells because my interest is primarily with the Whitneys. Plus, the sources I have go no further in identifying a location in England from whence this family came. Allan E. Green Whitney Research Group
