It was his father John (1592-1673) whose first wife was Elinor -----. The name "ARNOLD" for Elinor is a bad guess. It is based entirely on the inventory of John-2 WHITNEY, which includes a lot of 17 acres "purchased of Father Arnold." This refers to a deed in Watertown on 17 Apr 1661, when John WHITNEY (presumably John-2 rather than John-1) purchased 17 acres from Thomas ARNOLD, a planter of Providence. This was a certain Thomas ARNOLD who lived first in Watertown, but moved to Providence, RI. He was a Baptist, hence his move to Rhode Island to escape the persecution of the Massachusetts Bay Colony authorities. He was born in 1605, according to his age on the passenger list of the "Plain Joan", so was much too young to be Elinor's father. Thomas married before 1640/1, Phebe PARKHURST, and had four children born in Boston. Why he was called "Father Arnold" is unexplained, but it was not because Elinor was his daughter. Her maiden name is currently NOT known. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS PURE CONJECTURE!! I have no evidence to support this: Conceivably Thomas ARNOLD's wife Phebe (PARKHURST) ARNOLD might have died, and he might have married as a second wife Mary (-----) REYNOLDS, widow of Robert-1 REYNOLDS (who died in 1659 in Boston). That would make Thomas ARNOLD the step-father of Ruth (REYNOLDS) WHITNEY, and the step-father-in-law of John-2 WHITNEY. Regards, Robert Robert L.

Good point, Merry. I would not rule out anything until I saw positive proof (or superb negative proof) based on original documentation, with appropriate corroboration. Another thing to consider - though I cannot say that it absolutely proves anything - is this: if Ruth Whitney (my 10-G grandmother, b. 1643-1742) lived to until the ripe old age of 99, then she also lived to become the great-grandmother or aunt of many Adams, Bloods, Chamberlains, Longleys, Nuttings, Parkers, Shattucks, etc, and those families have documented their genealogies pretty well. All I am saying is this: the question of John and Mary (Bray) Whitney would have been settled a loooong time ago by these relatively well-educated families, don't you think?. Just my gut reaction .... but I will dig deeper when I have more time for genealogy .... and I hope that will be soon. -- Steven ----- Original Message ----- From: <MerryJWhit@aol.com> To: <WHITNEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 6:44 AM Subject: Re: [WHITNEY-L] Elinor ARNOLD, question from Steven Wallace > In a message dated 02/28/01 4:18:45 AM Central Standard Time, > stevenwallace7@hotmail.com writes: >> >> Does anybody know of evidence to support this Arnold connection? > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > I have only John's second marriage, to Judith Clement in 1659 in Watertown, > Mass., with a notation that Judith died before 1673; but I have a silly > question: > > Has it been completely discounted that John (1) Whitney was a son of Thomas > and Mary Bray Whitney?

According to this link below, a John Whitney was born 14 SEP 1621 in Isleworth Parish, England, and he died 12 OCT 1692 in Watertown, Middlesex, MA at age 71, and was married to Elinor Arnold (?). This is the first I have heard of the surname Arnold. http://www.genealogy.org/~bminnick/p845.html My line goes to John Whitney, who married Ruth Reynolds in 1642, but I have never resolved Elinor's last name. Does anybody know of evidence to support this Arnold connection? Steven

I'm gleaning through material that I got in Vermont last summer when I was on the quest to find my Grandfather Arthur H. Whitney. I found the following listed under Men of Vermont and I believe I got this in Bethel, Vermont. I have been too busy trying to finish my history book on the life of my Mother, Marion Whitney to see if either of these men tie into my line. Thought they might interest someone else. I find it interesting that they list their political affiliation before they do their religion! Whitney, Fred Norris, late of Northfield, Editor and publisher. Born Canaan, N.H., June 16,1859; son of Bela B. and Sarah (Burleight) Whitney; died Jan. 27, 1912. Educated at public schools and Canaan Union Academy. In 1892 married Erval M. MacIlvaine of York, Neb.; they had two children, Harriet E. and Philip M. Was publisher of the Northfield News 1884-8; Burlington Clipper 1888-1908; manager of Northfiled Publishing Co. and editor of Northfield News from that date. Was a Republican; deputy collector of Internal Revenue 1889-90. An Episcopalian. Member DeWitt Clinton Lodge No. 15, F. & A.M. and Northfield Lodge No. 19, I.O.O.F. Whtiney, Harold Edward, Brattleboro. Lawyer. Born Brattleboro, Feb. 29, 1884; son of Edwin Davis and Julia Spring (Brooks) Whitney. Educated in public schools at Brattleboro and at Amherst College. Admitted to the Vermont Bar in 1907, and has since then practiced law in Battleboro. Is a Republican; a Congregationalist; member Brattleboro Lodge No. 102, F. & A.M.; Fort Dummer Chapter No. 12, R.A.M,; Connecticut Valley Council No. 16, R.& S.M.; Beauseant Commandery No. 7, K.T.; Mt.

Other surnames can be checked by replacing "whitney" in the URL. I tried mine "schwerin" and got interesting results (we're not a common surname, mostly less than 1 in 10,000 population).

Jan, You can order paper pedigree charts from www.deseretbook.com they have a selection and several brands. also you can download free genealogy software from www.familysearch.org look under order stuff for PAF 4.0 this will allow you to type in genealogy and print out charts.(PAF is Personal Ancestral File) There's also a manual free about 80 pages but the software is easy to use (unlike PAF 3.0) Also it can send and receive GEDCOM s (standardized genealogy computer language works between different Gen. software and over internet) Good Luck Gary Wallace

Is that too much to hope for? >Sandy (Whitney) Fahrnbruch I found the following in the LDS records. Of course it must be verified!! Jonathan BRADSTREET was baptized 22 Jun 1690, Rowley, MA, and d. 22 May 1757, Lunenburg, MA. Samuel FLETCHER was born 30 Nov 1692, Concord, MA, and married Abigail HUBBARD on 18 Jan 1721, Concord, MA. She was b. 23 Jan 1698, Concord, MA. Apparently Samuel died, and the widow Abigail married Jonathan. If this can be substantiated, that disposes of your alternate candidate. Support for this theory is supplied by the death memoir of Henry Fletcher, which appears in the _New England Historical and Genealogical Register_, vol. 108, pp. 153-154, where it says, "Samuel Fletcher, son of the above named Joseph, was born in Concord 30 Nov 1692, living 12 April 1737, and died before 3 May 1750. He married in Concord, 18 Jan 1721/2, Abigail Hubbard, born there 23 Jan. 1698/9, died in Barre, Mass., 16 April 1778, as the widow of Capt. Jonathan Bradstreet, a daughter of Jonathan and Hannah (Rice) Hubbard." Regards, Robert Robert L.

I was going through some old research notes and came across this link. It has a lot of information on Whitney families. Thought I would pass it along. http://www.gentree.com/whitney/ Suzette Bromley searching for Harry E[dward?] Whitney, born in Ohio, c 1879

Death certificate in Brainerd, MN for John F. Whitney, male, white, widower, age 74 years, 6 months, 7 days. Born in Vermont. Died of comsumption at Mooersville. Occupation: doctor. Died May 23, 1888. Parents are listed as James and H. Whitney. Can anyone connect me with the family of James, and would his wife be Hannah Bruce? Has anyone heard of Hannah Bruce? Wife of John F. Whitney was Sarah (Sally) Nokes of Franklin Co. Vermont. Would love to know where she is buried. Illinois, perhaps?

Should have read Fred W. Whitney, his wife's married name was Josephine Whitney.

Hi group, I found this if anyone is interested and lives in California. Sandra Tracy o At an antique mall in Temecula, California there are 8 or 10 photographs of the John N. ALDRICH family for sale, all in wonderful condition and each at about $4-5. One is of the family taken in 1882, another is of John N. ALDRICH as an older man. There is a photo of four women identified as Jane ALDRICH, Ella WHITNEY, Clara WHITNEY, and Mary SWEETLAND taken in Mexico, New York. There is also a photo of four men taken I'm sure on the same day at the same place. The men are identified as Wilfred SWEETLAND, J. Thomas WHITNEY, I think John H. ALDRICH (but am not sure) and I don't remember the fourth one. There is a photo of Court HOWE taken in Oswego, New York.

Dear Whitney: I was finally able to get a search going on the WRG web site (http://www.whitneygen.org) and used Rebecca Blodgett as my search words. I came up with the following D.A.R. Extract -- http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/military/dar/dar11.html If you use the Find feature of your browser and ask it to look for Blodgett on that page, you'll end up scrolling down 3/4 of the page to Volume 108, page 233 - the record of Mrs. Carrie Whitney Wright. It shows that your John Whitney was the son of Oscar D.Whitney (1826-1907) and Anna Maria Jennings (1842-1908), even though the transcription shows John's death year as 1833, rather than 1838 as you stated. I did another search on the site for Oscar and then for the word Jennings -- nothing found in the right date ranges. Someone else in the group may have an Oscar D. WHITNEY born in 1826, so I have forwarded a copy of this message to the group. I will hang onto your Gedcom and insert them in the Misc. Whitneys database in case nothing else materializes.

Would like to know more about either one. Who are Johns parents where were they from? Hoping to hear from someone with this information I've been at this blind alley for way to long.
