Dear Ruth: It appears in the Whitny14 database with the following note: 1. william.FTW, . Source Media Type: Other. "Date of Import: Jan 15, 2000." which suggests that it was found on one of the CD's put out by this company. However, a search of the records of the Barbour Index of CT records that can be found on our WRG website finds the following: William, m. Mary WHITMORE, b. of Killingly, 16 Jul 1723, by Rev. Mr. FISK, Killingly 1:7 which, I believe, answers your question. Happy Hunting! Allan E. Green

Hi Group: It is time for me to jump in and beg for help. My ggrandmother was Julia Whitney, born in Arkansas in 1865. The only information I have about her parents was that her father was born in Arkansas and her mother in Alabama. This board seems to have a lot of information on the "Northern Whitneys", but I am wondering if anyone has a lost Whitney in Arkansas and needs to find a place for him. I figure he was probably born in the 1830's to 1840's. There may have been at least one older child named Betty. Sometime between 1865 and 1880 the family made their way to Texas (at least Julia did). If anyone can help with this, or can direct me how to get in touch with Southern Whitneys, I would be ever so grateful. Regards, Debi Giltner

Greetings All! I was wondering if someone could tell me if the marriage of William Whitney, Jr. b. May 5, 1701, (son of William, Sr. and Lydia Perham) to Mary Whitmore (Whittimore) b. Sept. 4, 1700, can be verified. If so, I would appreciate the information. Thanks, Ruth

Dear Barbara: I am sending a copy of this message to our Whitney Research Group, since others there may be interested in it. I believe your Jonathon WHITNEY is a descendant of John and ElinorWhitney of Watertown as follows: Jonathan-7 Whitney (Phineas-6, Jonathan-5, Jonathan-4, Richard-3, Richard-2, John-1) Phineas (Phinehas)-6 Whitney was born in Harvard, Mass. on 3 Jul 1747; m. Keziah FARNSWORTH 31 Oct 1765; and died 21 May 1830 in Norway, Oxford County, Maine. You wrote: >My great, great, grandfather, Jonathon Whitney "came from Norway" according to a note written to my grandfather by Jonathon's widow, Mary Gates Whitney, who was born in Gorham, Maine. She and Jonathon wer married 16 August 1798 in Bridgetown, Maine. He was born 15 December 1774. He served in the Ohio militia in the war of 1812 but not long enough to receive a pension as the war ended shortly after he enlisted. If you have any information on my 3rd great grandfather I would be greatly indebted to you. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Barbara Cadot Keating (barckeating@cs.com) < Pierce's Whitney Genealogy p. 187 only lists one child of Phinehas and Keziah Farnsworth, (See http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/extracts/pierce/p186-190.htm#P1091 ) but other researchers have found more children listed in other sources.

Dear WRG: I have posted all of the towns in Aroostook County that had Whitneys in them on several previous occasions. I now can pass on the name of the person who has volunteered to do lookups. Please be mindful of this lady's volunteer status. Allan E. Green For look-ups please be specific to the name and the town they were listed    -  ALL LOOK-UP QUERIES should be sent to  Belinda  at B4116@aol.com   -  she has graciously agreed to help you with your lookups.

If anyone has access to the 1850 census for Waukesha County, Wisconsin could you please look something up for me? There is a John Whitney listed on this census. Could you please give all the people and information listed for his household? All help will be greatly appreciated. Janet Whitney Duffield

Can someone help me with Eunice Whitney of Cambridge m John Woods as his 2nd wife in 1826. She died in 1827 at age 40. Was she perhaps a widow of a Whitney? Also I'm trying to pen down the name of John's first wife which could be any of the following: Bisty/Betsey Potts/Peat/Pitts/Petts/Peet to help in researching her ancestry and mine as well. The following is what I've gathered on John Woods and his direct family. Descendants of Samuel Woods Generation No. 1 1.

In 1761 Mr. Woods moved from Rutland to Princeton, Massachusetts, and there taught the first public school established in that town. He took an active part in all the interests of the time, and in the years preceding the American revolution and during its continuance was a member of the committee of correspondence, and with others signed and published a renunciation of allegiance to the British crown.

The 1886 "Rodman Genealogy" by C. H. Jones shows Ruth Rodman (b. 1759) m. "William Whiting". This is William Whitney (#1409 in Pierce). Yet just last year a descendant of Ruth's brother insisted to me that she married a Mr. Whiting. (The Higginson reprint does have a faint scribbled-in correction.) Pierce avenges the Whitneys nine years on by leaving Ruth out altogether while including Williams exact date of death. William served under Capt. Joshua Whiting in the Albany Co. militia, and had a brother Joshua as well. Perhaps this furthered the confusion. Cheers, Ron Kyser -----Original Message----- From: Robert L.

WRG, Just wanted everyone to know that I made contact with some Whitney cousins thanks to the Whitney web page. I've been looking for the ancestors of Charles Whitney (b 1823 MA, d 1902 Langford, Erie Co, NY) for several years now. I haven't been able to connect him to any established lines. I had info on him, his children, and one set of grandchildren. Now, a g-g-g granddaughter of his found one of my early queries and contacted me. We just confirmed our connection is legit. She still lives in the area and plans to do more digging. Hopefully the mystery of Charles can be solved soon. Keep up the good work! Debbie Stelmach Kailua, HI

Just wondering if anyone knows anything of Joshua B. Whitney of VT (b.~1811). Son, Charles Wesley Whitney is my 2nd great grand father was b. ~1834 in NYCity & d. Apr 1865 in Rutherford Co TN(civil war). Charles m. Jane A. Hubbard in IN. Joshua was married at least 2X in Warrick Co IN and possibly more times elsewhere. Have not been able to locate Charles Wesley's mother. Joshua left a huge paper trail in Spencer & Warrick Co IN (land & court trail). He eventually ended up in Effingham Co IL from Warrick Co IN and died there in 1877. He was a merchant most of his adult life. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Sincerely, Carol Mudd Fuchs

Dear WRG, The vital records of Sherborn, MA, show the following: EAMES, Gershom, and Susannah WHITING, mar. 25 Mar 1724. This is an error. The bride's maiden name was WHITNEY. She was daughter of Jonathan-3 and Susannah (FAIRBANKS) WHITNEY [Benjamin-2, John-1], born 29 Jan 1702/3, Sherborn, MA. This is proven by the mention in Jonathan's will of his four grandchildren Gershom, Susannah, Martha, and Patience EMES, on 2 Feb 1753 (Middlesex County Probate Records, File #24692). These were the first four (and probably only surviving) children of Gershom and Susannah EAMES, born in Holliston, MA. Apparently Susannah (WHITNEY) EAMES died 29 Apr 1739, in Holliston, MA, 7 days after the birth of her seventh child, Marah. Gershom then remarried 11 May 1741, Holliston, MA, widow Mary (HUNT) LELAND, and had three more children. Add this marriage date to your databases, please! There are probably other WHITNEY events hiding in plain sight under the heading of WHITING (and vice versa!!). These names are hard to distinguish when handwritten. Let that be a lesson! Regards, Robert Robert L. Ward rlward1@erols.com <http://users.erols.com/rlward1/> 12236 Shadetree Lane, Laurel, MD 20708-2832 301-776-1659

I was just curious if anyone could tell me how my line goes back to John Whitney....all I've got is my great grandfather, Howard Whitney, and his father, I think his name was Harvey Whitney, both of Natick, MA. Just an interesting side note, If anyone is at all familiar with Natick, Harvey was one of the founders of Natick Federal Savings bank, which is still running, and was operated by a Whitney until the late 80's. I looked inside though, and unfortunately, they don't have any memorablia hanging in the lobby.

I totally agree. Especially since someone is selling this for profit!

Hello Cousins This really ticks me off. Just for a lark I went to ancestry.com and put my last name (Braskat) into their search engine.

Why do I come to this conclusion you ask? Simple really - they have my grandfather as "Harold Daniel Braskat" when his name was "Howard Daniel Braskat" and this error first appeared in two of the databases on the Whitneygen site. I have recently advised my lovely cousins of the error, and upon checking just now my grandparents names are correct on our site (my grandmothers name was wrong as well though my great-grandmothers is still wrong, but I'll deal with that soon). I'm not sure why I take exception to this happening. I know the information is there on the whitneygen site - out there for all to see, and to even download once they obtain the password from Tim Doyle.
