WRG: From the Bowdoin, Maine vital records, we know that Samuel Whitney was born there 21 March 1801. His ancestry was: John1, Benjamin2, John3, Benjamin4, Benjamin5, Samuel. He was the son of Benjamin Whitney, Jr. and Mary (Polly)Varnum. Does anyone have any more information at all about this Samuel Whitney? Ken Whitney Silver Spring, MD

Another thing I have been told about consumption and 19th century medicine is that they had a poor understanding that tuberculosis is a long-term disease. They'd only identify it as consumption in the final stages. The patient could have had it for years, but it would be called bronchitis (apparently the case for George H. Whitney) or asthma (as in the case of my great grandmother Flora (Whitney) Wright's brother-in-law, Oren Wright, also a Civil War vet). ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.nexet.net

Jan, When I was first reading the file, I also thought he died of tuberculosis because of the use of the term "consumption". However, later in the file were other references to his health, including physician's exams. It was mentioned in them that he had chronic bronchitis, although in those days, who knows whether a definitive diagnosis could be made.

I went back through the 1850 and 1860 Census, but didn't see any Holmes or Gibbs listed in the townships John was in. I forgot to put where they were in Ill and NY (I have 2 "helpers" under 4). In the 1850 Census John F. Whitney and family are in Brown County, Illinois (Twp 1SR4W) I was also going to mention that there is a James Whitney age 59 farmer born Mass. as head of household in the family just above John's, the rest of the household includes Solomon Whitney age 8 born NY and Aaron Inman age 13 born Ohio, but I'm not sure if they are related or not. In the 1860 Census John F. and family are in Twp. 18 Range 5, Menard County, Illinois post office Athens. When they were in NY I'm not positive where they were since the Census before 1850 doesn't list names beyond the head of household, but in 1830 his father in law, Jacob Nokes was in Duane, Franklin, New York and the 2 families in the same area that might be Whitney's are, Wright Whitteny (?) and Samuel Whitney or Whiting (?). In 1840 Jacob Nokes is in Jay, Essex, New York. There are 2 Whitney families listed on the same page just above him. They are James Whitney (maybe same as on 1850 census) and Franklin Whitney. The families I found for Whitney in Franklin County, VT in 1820 were Sherwood Whitney in Fairfield, Franklin, VT, Bartholomew Whitney in Franklin, Franklin, VT, and Joel Whitney in Sheldon, Franklin, VT. In 1830 were Nathan Whitney in Fairfield, Franklin, VT, Serwood Whitney in Fairfield, Franklin, VT, Bartholomew Whitney in Franklin, Franklin, VT, Samuel Whitney in Richford, Franklin, VT, and Joel Whitney in Sheldon, Franklin, VT.

Dear Kristy: Welcome to the Whitney Research Group! I hope that we will be able to assist you in your search for confirmable links to your Whitney (and other) ancestors. I want to commend you on the form of your inquiry. You provide not just names, but dates and places, and, what is really important, sources for your data. You have no idea how much significance that carries. It gives strong validation to the data you present and a map of the places that you have already looked. I wish we had more data from reliable sources in Vermont. There were so many Whitneys who moved north from MA for whom Vermont is a big black hole that has swallowed them up. Keep a hopeful heart, however, as there are several among our members who have worked on this particular problem and seem to be very well experienced with Vermont sources. Welcome, and Happy Hunting!

Hello, I've only recently started looking into my Whitney ancestry. My grandmother's name was Leola Levade Whitney born 1936 in Idaho Falls, Bonneville, Idaho to Estel E Whitney born 20 Jul 1886 Maine Prairie, Stearns, Minnesota and Elizabeth "Bessie" Williams born 20 Jul 1901 Hibbing, St. Louis, Minnesota, daughter of William Williams and Jane E Buzza both born Cornwall, England. Estel's parents were Joseph B Whitney born 31 Mar 1844 in Illinois and Anna S Winslow born abt. Jun 1858 Maine, daughter of Benjamin H Winslow and Elizabeth "Betsy" W (Unknown) both from Maine. Joseph's parents were John F Whitney born abt 1815 Vermont (possibly Swanton, Franklin, VT) and Sarah "Sally" Nokes born abt 1816 Vermont (a couple online trees I've found, but haven't confirmed yet say Swanton, Franklin, VT). The children of John F and Sarah were Hannah Whitney b. abt. 1837 New York state, Jacob b. abt. 1842 New York state, Joseph B. b. 31 Mar. 1844 (according to death cert.) Illinois (died 02 Dec 1917 MN), Sylvester b. abt. 1846 Illinois, May (might actually be Mary) b. abt.1851 Illinois, and John N. b. abt. 1856 Illinois. The family seems to have traveled with members of the Nokes and Inman families according to the Census' I found them in. If anyone can help to further my research I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance for any info. Sincerely, Kristy Fitterer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

All I can add to this is that "Cabel" WALL and Julia Maria WHITNEY were married 15 Jun 1836 in Sangamon Co., IL (see http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/vitals/il.html). There were several other WHITNEY marriages at roughly the same time in Sangamon Co., none of which I can positively identify. Regards, Robert Mr. Robert L.

I've "rescued" an old autograph album which originally belonged to Whitney WALL. The album was given to him as a gift in 1875 and includes entries from both family and friends from 1875 to 1880 including locations in both Wisconsin and Illinois. The album contains the following entries: Whitney WALL Autograph Book from Tina, Xmas 1875 Family: · James C. WALL, 24 Dec 1875, Milwaukee, WI · C.H. WALL, 30 Dec 1875 · Edward C. WALL, 31 Dec 1875 “Your Brother” · E.M. OGDEN, 31 Dec 1875 · F.L. OGDEN, 1 Jan 1876 · David B. OGDEN, 8 Dec 1880, Rock Island, IL “Your Nephew” · Alexander MACKENZIE · Lucia A. MACKENZIE Based on limited research I was able to locate Whitney WALL (male) age 16, born in WI living in Rock Island, IL with his sister Lucia WALL MCKINZIE and her husband Alexander MCKINZIE. The household included Alexander age 36, born in WI to parents born in Scotland and NY respectively, his wife Lucia age 36 born in IL to parents born in Maryland and VT respectively, and three of their children. Their three children include, David B. age 14 born in WI, Lucia age 6 born in NY, and Allen A. age 5 months born in IL. Also in the household are two of Lucia WALL MCKINZIE's brothers, James C. WALL age 22 and Whitney WALL age 16, both born in WI. The census records note that Alexander is a Capt. US Engineers which might explain their having children born in three different states as they traveled with his profession. I also find record of James C. WALL the son of Caleb WALL and Julia M. WHITNEY. James C. WALL married Mary Nancy PERSONS on the 25th of April 1882 in Milwaukee, WI. Caleb and Julia Maria WHITNEY WALL also had a son Edward Clarence WALL who married Anna Louisa HEARDING in Milwaukee, WI on the 24th of April 1878. Edward and his wife Anna were living in Milwaukee, WI during the 1880 census with a son Alexander WALL age 1 year. Edward C. is listed as a Grain Comm.

This refers to message copied below: There is a Theodore Wellington Whitney with a wife named Amanda (Condon) in Somerville, Mass., in the 1900 Census. He was born April 1843 and must have died between 1920 and 1930. A cursory look through the Whitneygen.org site does not seem to identify his line; his father was John A. Whitney (born about 1811), mother Eliza Wellington (born abt. 1806). I'm interested in tracing this Whitney line, but am not getting very far back. John's father might have been Benjamin Whitney but I cannot be sure. Some people at ancestry.com think John was born in Hudson County, New York, but this is inconsistent with the census data which always says he was born in Mass. However, in the 1880(?) census, John's sister (born abt. 1808) lives with him, and she is said to have been born in New York. Thus the idea that Benjamin Whitney moved from Massachusetts to New York and back to Mass. again--so that at least some of his children were born in NY--might have a grain of truth. But these sources don't seem too reliable. They name the mother as [something] Nye Spooner. I can find corroboration that Miss Spooner existed but none that she married a Benjamin Whitney. If Benjamin was the father, then who was the mother, and can they both be connected to John A.? If so, who were Benjamin's ancestors? I can't think of anything but to look some more in case I missed something; or I suppose it might be necessary to pay for the marriage record of John and Eliza since that probably shows his parents' names. Any other ideas out there? Message from last week: Looking for the husband of Amanda C (Congdon/Condon) Whitney who died in Reading, Massachusetts on July 7, 1939. She left a daughter Edith F. Tucker and nieces Miss Ruth Tucker, Mrs. Edward Toomy, Mrs. Frank Brightman. Amanda was born in Berwick, Nova Scotia and lived in Somerville; Charletown and Reading, Massachusetts.

While in NH, my oldest son took me on a "tour" of some of the old cemeteries in their town of Bradford and nearby Hillsborough and Henniker. In one of the Hillsborough cemeteries I found a few Whitney graves from within the last 100 years. My son noted the information for me on his palm pilot and then apparently deleted the information. However, if there is someone on the list who would like info from burials in that area, please let me know and I will send my son off to copy it again. The only Whitney first name I can remember was a fellow named Walter that was born in the early 1900's. My son and his older 2 children found wandering through the cemeteries to be fascinating and gave me an opportunity to share some of the general info about what they were finding. I may get one of my kids involved in my research yet. Again - anyone with Whitney interests in Bradford, Hillsborough, Henniker, or Warner, NH. I will be glad to send my son off on a research mission with his kids and the digital camera. Jo Hogle
