On page 116, Capt Joshua Whitney is listed in the Albany County Militia (9th reg), under Colonel Peter Van Ness. The only other Joshua is in a Dutchess County Militia. On page 231, Albany County Militia (Land Bounty Rights)(9th reg) is William Whitney. The names on this list don't seem to match up with the one on page 116, including the officers. Now in NY in the Rev-Supplement book, Joshua (no William at all in the index) is listed as a Land Bouty Rights assignee, on page 207, as an assignor on page 211and with "class rights" on page 214. I am not sure what all that means adrian

Click Here: Check out "RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Butters/Dougan" Guys, I found a possible match for my ancestor, Eliza Whitney. This Ephraim Whitney was born abt. 1780 in Vermont. All of his children have birthdates that were around the time my gggg grandmother was born. She was born 18 Apr 1806 in Vermont. All of these children were born in NY. Maybe this explains this is where she met my gggg grandfather, Samuel Alonzo Arnold in New York. What do you think? Maybe u can help shed light into this. The only thing I wish I had overwhelming evidence that I could find a father and mother for Eliza Whitney. Thanks, Holly

Holly, I am from Charlevoix county Michigan. My ancestor James Ingalls moved from Clayton, Jefferson county, NY, to what is now Genesee county Michigan in 1835. James Ingalls had a neighbor named Amasa Whitney. I have been trying to get more info on him, but nothing worthwhile yet. Amasa was not listed in any census for Genesee county. James Ingalls son, my ancestor Henry Ingalls, and Henry's brother William moved to Antrim county Michigan from Genesee county Michigan (east of Flint) after the Civil War. He was listed in the 1870 census for Banks Twp, Antrim, Michigan. Eliza could have been a daughter of Amasa, and they could have moved to Michigan with my ancestor James Ingalls, and to Antrim county with Henry and William Ingalls, also. Just something to check. Have you done all possible census research on your Whitney's?

WRG: This morning's e-mail earned me a phone call from my friend Larry Tracy of Kennebunkport, Maine. Some of you know that Larry has a steel-trap mind. He urged me to look for a John Whitney born about 1809, living near a Samuel Whitney in the 1850 Maine census. He sure was correct. In Belmont, Waldo Co. Maine in 1850 we find John F. Whitney, 40 years old, with no wife mentioned. Living with him is James B. Whitney, 38; Emily J., 13; John W., 12; Adison O., 10; and Mary L., 8. In the same town is Samuel Whitney, 62; Margaret, 57; Edmind, 19; and an unreadable male, 17. I believe this is probably Samuel Whitney, son of Moses and Molly (Page) Whitney. Samuel was born in Gorham in 1785. So, the John S. Whitney who appears on the file card for Addison's Civil War pension is probably really John F. Whitney. Still to be determined is who is John F. Whitney. He is about 3 to four years too young to be the son of John and Hannah (Rich) Whitney. However, ages in census records can sometimes be misleading. Also, if the Thorndike records as published are incorrect, then it was John Whitney, Jr. not Sr., who died in Thorndike in 1837. He could not then be the John in the 1850 Census. Finally, the pension was applied for from Rhode Island, so who was the John S. (or F.) Whitney then living in Rhode Island who was the father of Addison O. Whitney? It looks like a reading of the pension file is definitely in order. Ken Whitney Silver Spring, MD

Hi.. I'm searching for my gggg grandmother, Eliza Whitney who was born 18 Apr 1806. The death record in Charlevoix, Michigan says she was born in Vermont. Her first husband was Samuel Alonzo Arnold, Sr. They were marrried abt. 1823 in New York. Eliza's 2 sons, Alvah and Samuel Jr were both born in Monroe County, NY. They migrated from NY to Macomb County, then moved to St. Clair County, MI later. Because the family were experiencing financial hardships, Samuel Sr decided to go back to NY with another man. The two left on foot and were never heard from again. After Samuel Sr's disappearance, Eliza married Elias Rice. Eliza died on 18 Nov 1872 in Charlevoix, Michigan. I'm searching for Eliza Whitney's parents possibly in Vermont or near Vermont. I've been keeping on eye on the postings of the Whitney people, but no luck. If you can help keep an eye on possible matches of Eliza Whitney's parents, please let me know. If you know of a possible Whitney family that Eliza would fit in, please let me know. Thanks, Holly

Just an update on my search for the ever elusive William D. Whitney and wife Amelia French: still nothing more found. William was born 1821 in Ohio according to census records. 1880 Census shows that his father was from Mass. and mother from Ohio. Indication that he might be a John and Elinor descendent if this is correct. The first record of him is his marriage to Emily (Amelia) French in Athens County, Ohio April 1, 1841. There is a Whitney family in neighboring Washington County with a William but it is not the same person. No Whitney families found in other surrounding counties or in Athens Co. In 1850 he is in Van Wert County, OH living in the same household at Sarah ? Brees Cline and her children. She lost two husbands in one year. He and Amelia have had at 3 children by then: John, Miriam and Henry. No relationship to Sarah Cline has been determined. Also in household was Sarah French age 16 (sister to Amelia?). William and Amelia move sometime between 1850 and 1860 to Logan County Ohio. Census record indicate the children are John, Henry, Charles, Mathew, and David. In 1870 the family is in St. Louis County, MO. Children are John, Henry, Martha, David, Sarah and James. (Martha's birth year shows that she should have been on the census in 1860 - not found) William and Amelia are found in Fayette County, IL in 1880 living in the household are Sarah, James and granddaughter Levina, age 6 (parents unknown possibly John's). Sarah's first marriage records indicated she was born in Athens County, OH. So there are still possible ties to Athens County after 1841. In 1900 Amelia is living with Sarah's family in Madison County, IL as a widow. Census indicates she is the mother of 9 with 4 living. (Henry, David and Sarah are known to be living. Fourth unknown possibly James -John has not been found on 1880 or 1900 census). Sarah's death certificate in 1941 says that her parents where William D. Whitney and Nancy C. Whitney - Information given by her daughter Josie, who had lived with grandmother. Amelia had several variations on the spelling of her name Emily in 1841. Amelia in 1850, 1860 and 1900, Emilie in 1870, and Emealia in 1880 - never Nancy. County researchers have not found any deaths for William or Amelia in the known counties where they lived, or children were living, in Illinois. No records have been found of William and Amelia before 1841 in Ohio. Out of all my family research this one has me stumped. Any little bit of information found has only led to more questions.

While so many are looking for various John Whitneys, would you also keep your eyes open for my long lost John - John Whitney was born about 1732 in Connecticut, probably New London. He was living in Horton, Nova Scotia in 1760. He was married to Desire Avery, daughter of Nathan Avery and Rachel Desire Yeoman. He had a son John. Due to his birth in Connecticut, I am hoping that he may be a Henry Whitney descendant. Bill Whitney

Hello James, The material presented from the speach of Gov. John A. Andrew seems to me to be suspect. The published vital records of Thorndike, Waldo, Maine do not record such a family. In addition, the lineage presented for Addison does not agree with the records for that particular John Whitney of Thorndike. Archived on the WRG web site under Bible Records, is the Bible record for the family of Rev.John and Hannah (Rich) Whitney of Thorndike, Maine. This Bible record matches the published Vital Records of Thorndike, Maine as far as birth records go. There is no mention of an Addison O. Whitney in either record. Larry Tracy and I very recently discussed these records. The published Vital Records of Thorndike, Maine contain a record that John Whitney, Sr. died May 16, 1837. In fact, he died 9 March 1851 in Dexter, Waldo Co., Maine. We believe that the published death was that of John Whitney, Jr., born in Thorndike 18 Jan 1813, not in 1803 as stated in the Governor's presentation. Larry and I believe that a viewing is in order for the microfilm of the original Thorndike records to see if it says Jr. or Sr. for this John Whitney record. As to Addison O. Whitney, the Civil War pension file index card is very revealing. It seems that Addison's father, John S. Whitney (not John F. Whitney) filed a claim on his son's pension benefit. The next time I am at the National Archives, I will view the pension file. Pension claims by parents are always a gold mine of genealogical information. I am sure it will tell us when and where Addison was born. It will also probably have marriage information for his parents. I'll let you know when I have the information.

Would anyone with a copy of Vital Records of Lisbon, Maine, to 1892 be willing to do a quick lookup for me? I'm interested in pages 212 and 219 where, apparently, Judith Francis (later wife of Abraham Whitney) is listed. Many thanks!

I did a search on the Whitney Research Group website http://www.whitneygen.org and I believe I found a document there which identifies these two John Whitneys. http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/extracts/holman.html (go there, then search for Pomfret) JOHN6 WHITNEY (Joshua5, Joshua4, Benjamin3, John2, Thomas1), born in Uxbridge, Mass., 7 May 1749, recorded in Medway where he,"son of widow Whitney" was baptised 7 July 1751, died in Pomfret, Chatauqua Co ., N.Y., 21 Jan. 1824. He married in Newton, Mass., 16 Feb. 1768, Molly Cory (or Cary) of Natick, born 25 July 1751, died after the 3 Jan. 1838, probably in Erie Co. Pa. ... Applied for pension, 11 May 1818m in Chatauqua Co., N.Y., aged sixty-eight years. He had a son John, b. 1784, aged 53 in 1837. This family is also outlined by Robert L.

Hi James and all Whitney Researchers, Because the names and some of the dates in the posting below are so similar to my line, I can't resist offering the following information on Maine/Ma./Vermont Whitneys: I am the 10th generation as you can see from my line. (Carolyn, John C., John W., John C., John, Samuel, Benjamin, John, Benjamin, John the immigrant) For about 230 years this family lived in Maine starting with Benjamin, son of John the immigrant, down to John Carlton in the seventh generation. John Carlton's father, John, my g/g-grandfather, was born June1,1808 in Lisbon, Maine and died October 2, 1887 in Methuen, Ma. His first wife was Mary S. Kimball who died April 14, 1843 leaving no children. His second wife was Almira Turner, a descendent of the early Turner settlers of Bridgewater, Ma. I have seen his gravestone in Lisbon with both wives' names on it. Almira was born on February 1, 1818 in Gray, Maine and died November 22, 1902 in Salem, New Hampshire. John and Almira had four children, all boys. They were John Carlton (my great-grandfather) born March 16, 1845, Edward Hayes born Oct 29, 1846 died May 22, 1850, Charles Loring born Sept. 15, 1851 died May 31,1882 and Willard Roscoe born July 12, 1855 died Dec. 28, 1925. In the mid 1870's the family moved from Lisbon, Maine to Methuen, Ma. My great grandfather, John Carlton, was married first to Hattie Abbott, who died about 1880 leaving no children. Grieving her death, Great-grandfather went out West for a while, where among other things he served as a deputy sheriff in California. I have a post card he sent back home telling the family of his intentions to return East. After he returned home (Methuen, Ma.) he met and married Ella Elizabeth Peaslee born Sept 12 1859 , died 1949 Manchester New Hampshire . John Carlton and Ella had five children, the oldest was my grandfather John Willard born 1889. There are some mistakes in the genealogies on the WRG site regarding this family, but because there are so few descendants I have been slow to point them out. I don't know anything about Addison Otis Whitney or if he is related to my line. Hope this is helpful. We are finally getting some real summer weather in Vermont.

A statue stands in Lowell,Middlesex,Mass. dedicated to Ladd and Whitney, two soldiers of the 6th Mass. Volunteer Militia who were killed in the Baltimore riots on 19 April, 1861 while marching from the train station to the Capitol thru a mob of Southern sympathizers. One of the names on the statue is Addison Otis Whitney, a young man from Lowell, Middlesex, Mass. Recently a document was carried in Ancestry.com of an address given in 1865 by then Mass. Gov. John A. Andrew on the occasion of the dedication of the monument to Ladd and Whitney. In this address is revealed the parents of Addison Otis Whitney, his birthplace and his date of birth. Past postings in WRG mention Addison Whitney and the statue. I would submit the following additional data for the record: Addison Otis Whitney-born 30 Oct., 1839 in Thorndike,Waldo,Maine. The son of John F. Whitney, Jr. This would make the line (Addison, John, John, Asa, Nathan, Nathaniel, Benjamin, John). John F. Whitney, Jr. was born in 1808 in Thorndike,Waldo,Maine and his first wife was Jane B. ? who was born abt. 1800 in Maine. John's second wife was Almira born 1818 in Maine. By these two wives John, Jr. had nine children- dates uncertain: Emily J.-1837 John W.-1838 Addison Otis-1839 Mary C.-1842 Willard R.-1855 John C.-1845 Petulia?-1847 Charles L.-1852 Hattie E.-1861 James E.

It looks like John Whitney, son of Joshua Whitney is probably my elusive John. In the Pierce transcripts it shows John Whitney with sons Asahel and Ira, but wife is unknown. I know that my John had four children, Truman, Melinda, Elijah and Chauncey. I always suspected that there were more before these four. Asahel Whitney is on the 1840 census in Ashtabula Co., OH, John Whitney is also in Ashtabula Co., OH. Asahel married Harriet Hatch who's family seems to have traveled with the Whitney family as this is not the only Hatch to marry into the family. In 1840 Ira is in Chautaqua Co., NY where Truman Whitney (my ancestor through John) and Jarvis Christy (husband of Melinda Whitney, John's daughter) are. By 1850, Ira Whitney is also in Waukesha Co., WI as is Asahel Whitney (in the household of my John Whitney). Now, I just need proof that Joshua Whitney had a son named John. Any suggestions, does it sound reasonable? Janet Whitney Duffield --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo! Have fun online with music videos, cool games, IM & more. Check it out!

WHITNEY, according to his death certificate. It seems very likely that your John F. WHITNEY was John Franklin WHITNEY. Apparently his mother was a certain Hannah (BRUCE) WHITNEY. James was born about 1791, MA, and died after 1850. Both James and John F. appear in the 1850 census of Lee Township, Brown Co., IL. There are several messages in the WHITNEY-L mailing list archives which mention either John F. and Sarah, or else James and Hannah. You can find them by using the WRG web site search engine at <http://www.whitneygen.org/search.html>, as I did. I'm not sure of the birth and parentage of this James WHITNEY, but it seems possible, based on birthplace and age, that he was James-7 WHITNEY, born 4 Jun 1792, Dunstable, MA, son of James-6 and Lydia (SPAULDING) WHITNEY [James-5, James-4, Joseph-3, Jonathan-2, John-1].

Then he appears in the 1840 Census of Ohio, Ashtabula Co., Saybrook Twp., p. 264. I noticed that Pierce has an Asahel WHITNEY of the right age. See <http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/extracts/pierce/p386-390.htm#P3092>. That would be Asahel-8 WHITNEY [John-7, Joshua-6, Thomas-5, William-4, William-3, Joshua-2, John-1], born 30 Aug 1809. On the other hand, Pierce's account of Joshua-6 and Hannah (GREEN) WHITNEY's family doesn't agree very well with that in this reference: <http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/extracts/newbing.html>. In particular, it doesn't give Joshua-6 a son named John. It's hard to know who is right, but if Pierce is, then you just might have the solution to your problem!

I have found Azel Whitney on the 1850 Census for Onomowoc, Waukesha Co., WI. He later shows up on the 1870 census in Petaluma, Sonoma, CA as Abiel Whitney. In 1880 he is in District 62, Paicines, San Benito, CA as Asabel Whitney. This is all the same person, his wife is Harriet Hatch. If anyone has any information on who this Whitney is I would greatly appreciate it. In 1850 he is in the household of my elusive John Whitney.
