Dear WRG: Jan Whitaker sent me the URL for this and I thought it was so interesting I copied it for everyone. Allan Stephen Whitney, 95; taught French at Phillips Academy, Andover By Gloria Negri, Globe Staff | July 28, 2007 In the legendary French classes Stephen Whitney taught at Phillips Academy, Andover, for four decades, he was always Monsieur Whitney, and his students were addressed in French versions of their names. Mr. Whitney's class was total immersion, no books or homework the first year, said his former student, Richard Howe (Ricard Comment, in the class), who is now associate director of alumni affairs at Andover. "After the first 15 minutes, no English was spoken," he said. Mr. Whitney had a "flair for the dramatic," Howe said, enhanced by his ability to mimic a variety of French accents, as well as a very good Maine one. Mr. Whitney, who was awarded the Palmes Academiques by the French government for contribution to French culture during his teaching career, an honor usually given to French citizens, died July 3 of cardiac arrest at Kirkwood Corners in Lee, N.H., an assisted living facility not far from his home in Barrington, N.H. He was 95. Mr. Whitney taught at Andover from 1936 until he retired in 1977. "Steve was an especially generous senior faculty member who identified younger colleagues' talent and potential and encouraged our opportunities for professional development," Rebecca Sykes, associate head of school at Andover, said in an e-mail. "He took pride in his mentoring." Mr. Whitney's wife, Anne, recalled attending Andover's reunions and listening to students tell him that they would never have survived the tough first-year academic demands of Andover if it had not been for the joy of his French class. One former student is often quoted at the academy as describing Mr. Whitney's French class as "the best show east of the Mississippi." Mr. Whitney reached younger generations of students when he and other Andover instructors volunteered to teach the method of speaking French before reading it in the town's elementary schools. The program advancing this method was known as FLES, for foreign language in the elementary school. Hale Sturges of Boston taught French at Andover with Mr. Whitney for 11 years and succeeded him as chairman of the department. "Steve had high standards but was not inflexible," Sturges said. "He was an integral part of that movement that was important in teaching foreign languages around the country from around 1952 to 1962 where elementary school children learned to speak the language first." Mr. Whitney received the Palmes Academiques award partly for his work introducing French in the elementary schools as well as for teaching at Andover, according to his son Dudley of Windsor, Vt., after he was recommended to the French consulate by the chairman of the French department. His father proudly wore the award's palm leaf insignia in his lapel, Dudley said. As a teacher, Sturges said, Mr. Whitney was "very fair and very tolerant." "He had a sense of humor that made him unafraid to appear eccentric," he said. "He was able to teach the least able student and teach him well." Other colleagues, such as Natalie Schorr, recalled him as "a perfect gentleman." Tom Regan was first a student then a colleague of Mr. Whitney's at Phillips, where he taught English and coached the school's hockey teams with him. Regan and Mr. Whitney became surf-casting buddies, indulging in a passion of Mr. Whitney's at his special place on Plum Island. Mr. Whitney so loved to fish "he would even talk to them," said Regan, who now lives in Coto de Cava, Calif. "Steve was a character, whether fishing, coaching, or teaching," Regan said. "He was a great raconteur." Mr. Whitney was born in New Haven to Stephen and Pauline (Webster) Whitney. He always loved the French language, which his wife said he learned as a child from an Alsatian governess. A lifelong Francophile, he spoke the language so well that on a trip to France with his wife, a taxi driver asked him in French about life in the United States, thinking he was addressing a fellow countryman returning from a visit there. After graduating from St. Paul's School in Concord, N.H., and from Yale University in 1934, Mr. Whitney studied in France for several years. He received a master's degree from Middlebury College in 1939. During World War II, he enlisted in the Army Air Forces and served in the officer training corps on Catalina Island in the Pacific. He then went on to serve in the Army Air Force Office of Strategic Services. Though he spoke little of his clandestine experiences, Mr. Whitney "became a very fine lock-picker as a result of it," according to his son Dudley. Mr. Whitney began teaching at Phillips Academy in 1936 and over the years served as the school's director of admissions, summer session director, and chairman of the French department. He also coached several of its athletic teams. In 1941, he married Ethel Ranney Lang. The couple loved to dance. "Once they put us kids to bed," said Dudley, "they would go to a roadhouse in North Reading and dance to jukebox music." Ethel died in 1988. The following year, Mr. Whitney married Anne Carr, who said they met during the "passing the peace" handshake at an Episcopal church in Rochester, N.H. The couple moved into her family farmhouse in Barrington, N.H. After his retirement at 65, Mr. Whitney remained active, volunteering to teach adults English, getting up at 3 a.m. to fish for sea bass off Plum Island, and taking trips to Montana to visit his children, according to his daughter, Hannah, of Victor, Mont. Tall, erect, and fit, Mr. Whitney continued doing situps until he was 90, said his son Stephen Jr. of Butte, Mont. "He was doing deep knee bends at parties bordering on his 90s," said Stephen. Three years ago, he was still shooting basketballs. Whenever asked how he was feeling, Mr. Whitney would always reply, "Never better," said his wife. He said that until the end, she said. In addition to his wife, daughter, and two sons, Mr. Whitney leaves another son, Benjamin of Worcester, Vt.; a sister, Hannah Eugenia Hotchkiss of Greenwich, Conn., four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Aug. 29 at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Dover, N.H. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

WRG: Below you will find my abstract of the Civil War pension file of William J. Whitney of North Yarmouth, Cumberland Co., Maine. It is a Mother's Claim on the pension of her deceased son. William descends in two lineages from John and Elinor Whitney of Watertown, MA: John1, Thomas2, Isaac3, John4, Abner5, Uriel6, Uriel7, William J.8. Also, John1, Richard2, Moses3, Rebecca4, Abner5, Uriel6, Uriel7, William J.8. This abstract will be of interest to some because it contains a description of a charge of fraud brought against Mary A. Whitney, the mother of William J. Whitney. The claim was that Mary fraudulently obtained the pension. Enjoy! >From the Civil War Pension File of William J. Whitney Private, Company E, 17th Maine Infantry Mary Whitney, Mother Mother's Application #169313, Certificate #130518 The National Archives Building, Washington, D.C. Mrs. Mary Whitney filed a Mother's Application for Army Pension on 11 December 1868 from Cumberland County, Maine. She is 62 years old, and a resident of the Town of Yarmouth, Cumberland Co., Maine. She is the wife of Uriel Whitney, and the mother of William J. Whitney, deceased, who was a private in Company E of the 17th Regiment of Maine Volunteers. He was killed while in the service at the Battle of the Wilderness in the state of Virginia. He died leaving no widow or child. She declares that she was wholly or in part dependant upon her son for support. Her post office and residence is in East North Yarmouth, Cumberland Co., Maine. The Adjutant General's Office informed the Commissioner of Pensions that William J. Whitney was enrolled on 28 July 1862 at North Yarmouth in Company E of the 17th Regiment of MaineVolunteers, to serve for three years. He was mustered in a private on 31 July 1862 at Portland, Maine. He was on the muster roll of Company E for the months of May and June of 1864, and is reported killed in the Battle of the Wilderness on 5 May 1864. Mary Whitney provided an affidavit from two residents of North Yarmouth: D.Y. Harris and Albert Sweetser. They testify that Mary is the wife of Uriel Whitney and the mother of William J. Whitney. William died leaving no widow or child, and his mother was dependant, in part, on him for her support. The only property owned is a small farm, upon which they have lived for the past eight years. William J. Whitney resided on his parents' farm for the years prior to his enlistment, and he contributed ten dollars per month out of his wages for their support during that time. Upon his enlistment, he gave his parents his bounty of seventy-five dollars, and he allocated to his parents ten dollars per month from his monthly pay. His patents derive their present support from their farm, and from daily labor. His parents collected his sick pay and bounty of $82.47 and $90.00, which went toward their support. Mary Whitney was granted a pension based on the information which she supplied with her application. However, in 1869 she was sued by the U.S. government for fraudulently obtaining the pension. The Office of the Attorney of the United States for the District of Maine provided a copy of a newspaper article published in Portland, Maine. The opening page is stamped by the Department of Interior Pension Office, dated 13 October 1869. The following is a transcription of the newspaper article: "The United States v. Mary A. Whitney. This was a complaint made on behalf of the United States, against the defendant, for presenting to the Pension Bureau of the Treasury Department, a false claim for a pension on the ground that she was dependent, in whole or in part, for support upon her son William J. Whitney, who was killed in battle in the military service of the United States, May 5th, 1864. The government charged that Mrs. Whitney was not dependent at all upon her deceased son for support, but was supported by her husband, Uriel Whitney, who is and was possessed of property to the amount of $4,000.00 to $5,000.00, unencumbered. To show the presenting of the claim, Dr. A.R. Sparks, was produced by the District Attorney who testified. That he was a clerk in the Pension Office, that certain papers which he produced and identified, to wit, the original application for pension, and three affidavits which were taken to support it were taken by him from the files of the Pension Office, and that they had been received and filed in the office. On cross examination, the witness stated that his special department was the department bounty lands, that he had no personal connection with pension cases, and that he only knew those papers had been in the Pension Office by the seal of the Pension Office upon them, by the endorsement upon them, and by the fact that they were in such an endorsed label as he knows to be used in all pension cases. Charles Humphrey testified, that he lived in Yarmouth, had known Uriel Whitney and his wife for 33 years and the farm in North Yarmouth where they had always lived. He had seen the farm more or less every year. It was worth from $3,500 to $4,000, and its annual product is from $500 to $800. The maintenance of such a family as Mr. Whitney's would cost $350 to $400, exclusive of house rent. On cross examination, witness said he had not been on the farm for 33 years. But seen it often from the road, and saw it last winter. Only knows its value from general reputation. Jacob Sweetsir, lives 100 rods from Uriel Whitney's. His family consists of his wife, and one unmarried daughter. His other children are of age and live in Portland. The son who went to war was 16 or 17 years old. He worked on the place like other boys. Worked some and played some. I got considerable work from my boys of this age. Whitney's farm is about 75 acres, tillage, pasture, and woods. Cuts about 25 tons of hay. He kept in 1868 3 cows, a yoke of oxen, a horse, and 2 swine. Farm I think worth $3000. House in good repair, two stories high, and well painted, think it is furnished throughout. Might have cost $600 or $700. Barn not so old, cost $500. Know that Whitney has been a manufacturer of elderberry wine, has made two barrels of it. Sold it for $1 per quart. Cross-examined; I had a son who enlisted. I did not make an application for a pension in his behalf. Whitney does not work much himself, he does marketing and helps in haying; his house is worth $800, his barn $600, his land $25 per acre. Recalled by the District Attorney, witness stated, that at the church meeting Mr. Whitney stated that his farm was worth $3,000. Cross examined further, he stated that the matter of obtaining the pension had been taken up by the Pownal Congregational Church, to which Whitney belonged, and the minister, Mr. Nichols, called on Mr. Whitney to make a statement. In that statement he also said he was sick and unable to labor much. Charles L. Loring, testified that the value of Whitney's farm was from $3,000 to $3500. Whitney's family could be maintained for $300 to $400. Do not know the income of the farm. During the three years before his son went to the war his son worked on his farm and went to school winters. Do not know of his being hired out. Asa Sweetsir lives near Uriel Whitney. Think the product of his farm was more than enough to maintain his family. Know that Whitney said he would not swop a wood lot with a man whose wood lot was worth $800. Whitney told me he sold $150 of elderberry wine. Daniel Mitchell was put on the stand, but his evidence was not material. D.H. Drummond, Esq., testified that he drew up the application and affidavits in the presence of Whitney and his wife upon statements made by the former, and that they were sent by him to the Pension Office. Geo. F. Emery, Esq., appeared for the defense. After putting in the title deeds of Whitney's farm and two wood lots, called Reuben Hoyt, the brother of Mrs. Whitney, who testified that the wood lot in New Gloucester was owned by him and his brother-in-law together and was worth about $350; that they had taken from it wood which paid them about $70. Mr. Whitney was not well, and could not stand work. They have a daughter at home out of health. Mrs. Whitney has a good deal of trouble and is not well. Think her son's labor for the 3 years before he went to war was worth $12 per month. Mrs. Field, a married daughter, testified to the ill health of her parents, and the work of their son. Uriel Whitney, then at the request of his counsel and without objection, gave a detailed sketch of his life, including a part of that of his father who was a soldier in the revolution. He stated minutely the falls and hurts he had received, and the debilitated state of his health. He told about his wife's disabilities, and the story of his son's volunteering and service in the war. He admitted that the value of his farm was $3,000, that he had for 1868 25 tons of hay and the stock as testified to by the government witnesses. He said he applied for the pension for his wife at the suggestion and upon a circular of his attorney, Messrs. Emery and Drummond, that he told them about his farm but no questions were asked about his other property, that he did not intend to conceal anything or to claim a pension if he was not entitled to it, that there had been much complaint about his pension and many exaggerated statements about what he had sworn to. Geo. F. Emery, Esq., submitted a long, earnest, and able argument in behalf of the accused. He spoke of her good standing in the community and in the church, of the patriotic sacrifices she and her aged husband had made in giving to the country the life of the son upon whom they had depended for the support of their old age. He claimed that the pension was properly asked for, and properly granted. A mother might be a pensioner though she was possessed of some property. It is a question simply whether or not she was dependent in whole or in part upon the son for support. The pension officer had allowed pensions in similar cases to persons having property. But if the pension was improperly allowed, which he denied, he claimed that there was no fraudulent statement made and no guilty intention on the part of the applicant. She had mistaken her rights under perhaps mistaken views obtained by her counsel. She and they might easily make such a mistake, when it was not settled by the Department itself where the line fell between those mothers entitled to pensions on account of their poverty and those not entitled on account of their affluence. Everything stated in her application and affidavits were true. She had received a part of her living from her deceased son. She had stated that she had a small farm. If she had not stated the amount and value of the property of her husband, she had not been asked about it. The incapacity of her husband to labor had been clearly shown by her affidavits, and here again by evidence, and was not denied. And finally, whatever misstatement or omission her papers contained, she was not legally answerable for, as they were the statements of other persons, she herself concealing nothing. He said the prosecution was to his knowledge gotten up by envious neighbors whose attempt to get pensions not warranted by law he had thwarted. He asked the Commissioner if he would upon any but the clearest evidence send home that venerable lady with the record of an honorable and Christian life behind her to the community whose esteem and respect she had enjoyed, branded with the odium of a _____ (obliterated) and disgraceful crime. District Attorney Talbot in reply said, that he had no disposition to suppress the instinctive feeling of reverence he felt toward persons who could claim nearest kinship with two generations that have made such sacrifices for their country. If there were a class of the people entitled to the exemption of the disabilities of the laws it was the men who could boast at the same time that their fathers had periled their lives in our first great war, and their children had fallen in battle in our last. But there was no such class. The laws made for the good of all must be applied to all alike. There were but a few simple questions to settle here. Was this a case entitled to a pension under the law? The law was intended to relieve from suffering those only whose support whose maintenance whose living depended upon the income lost by the loss of the contribution of a deceased son. Otherwise the wealthiest citizens might claim it. A wealthy person might lose certain sources of income, but as long as he has property enough to maintain him, it is no question of dependence upon that income for support. It does not become a question of support until his losses begin to diminish the fund out of which he must be supported. It is always understood that the disability of the applicant must be shown. No one believes that if the Commissioner had been informed that Mrs. Whitney was living with her husband, both in the possession of more than the usual health and vigor of persons of their years, on a farm worth $3,000 or $4,000, her husband owning other land, stock and personal property worth $1,500 or more, free from debt and with a little money at interest, he would ever have placed her upon the pension roll. How came she placed on it? By her own application and representation of her circumstances. She cannot divide the responsibility of these representation among her witnesses, her counsel, or her husband. She used them and received the benefit of them. Her claim was false, and that it represented her as a dependent upon her daily labor and upon this deceased son for support. Whereas she was living amicably with her husband, bound in law to maintain her and with means to do it to the end of their lives without either of them ever doing a day's work. This representation was untrue. Did she know it to be untrue? She knew she made it. The words are common intelligible words. She knew their meaning. She knew what means her husband had. She knew she was not dependent as she had declared. Commissioner Clifford was disposed to take the case for advisement, but at the solicitation of counsel on both sides, concluded to give such decision as his present impressions dictated. He said he was clearly of opinion the pension never should have been allowed, that the accused did not belong to the class of persons entitled to receive a pension under the act giving pensions to certain mothers. But that was not the question for him to decide. Whether the defendant had any criminal intent, or knowing that she was not entitled to a pension had fraudulently made the application was the question for him to decide. It was possible that she might under advice of friends or others believe that she was entitled to this compensation, and she might not have made or thought of the nice distinction made by counsel between income and support. As against a person whose character has been so irreproachable, he said he should not presume any criminality and on the ground of guilty knowledge not shown, he should order the discharge of the defendant." I did not find in the file any documents confirming that the pension was revoked. There is medical testimony that Uriel Whitney was physically disabled from performing any labor. He also submitted a General Affidavit from Falmouth, Maine to the effect that in 1873 he sold his property in North Yarmouth and everything on it for $3,900. At the present time, the value of all their property owned jointly will not exceed $1,600. The document is not dated. Why it was submitted I do not know. Ken Whitney Silver Spring, MD

Marion Whitney Martin is correct in saying she got it right this time. Jim Martin is tops! I also have to admit I've been tempted to write her address in pencil in my address book. I am still married to my original spouse, mainly because neither of us could live with anybody else.

Thanks Robert for clearing this up for me. I thought it was John's father but wanted to make sure I had the right Thomas. I hadn't thought about that aspect of it but what you said about it might having been the reason for his moving to Westminster makes sense. Noreen Maloney LaTour On 7/23/07, Robert L.

Guess I must confess that I have had a hand in statistics. My first marriage (Pennsylvania) ended in divorce after almost 13 years in Illinois. Second marriage (Nevada) ended with the death of my spouse after almost 20 years in Nevada, after living in several states. Third marriage began in Nevada in 2001 and is still going strong in South Carolina. I think I am the sort that drives statisticians mad! Takes some people a long time to get it right!

The article just published by myself and Tim Doyle in _The American Genealogist_ identifies Thomas Whitney, father of John-1, the immigrant, as Thomas Whitney of Castleton, Herefordshire. It was the latter who was accused of murder. In other words, if the article is correct, they were one and the same person, so it isn't a different Thomas. By the way, this case may supply a reason for him to have left Herefordshire and to have settled permanently at Westminster. Regards, Robert Mr. Robert L.

Dear WRG I took the "California" out of the header before adding my own "statistic." My good wife Virginia and I have been married a little over 45 years, and I wouldn't give up a minute of it. She's smarter than I am, is probably a better genealogist, and she's a gourmet cook! In the past few years, she has turned that skill into a diet conscious gourmet cook, and helped me lose close to 50 pounds (badly needed, of course). With any good luck, we'll make it to 50! Allan E.

Hello Whitney people! These statistics just blow my mind. How come people couldn't stay married in those years 1960 to 1985? My Mother who was also Marion Whitney was married in 1918 and at her death in 1974 was still married to the same man. 66 years I think. As for me I married this guy in 1949 and still have him around. I would venture a guess that the same statistics for Wyoming percentage wise (I think we are still the lowest populated state.) Would be much lower than that. Life's tough out here and its a long way to a divorce lawyer I guess.

Jerry, I was just reviewing your message below in light of my looking at the 1860 US Census for Crosby Whitney. When I first read this message, the volume of information on Crosby lead me to believe that it was Crosby, son of Remmington that you were most interested in. However, the 1860 census put together with this information leads me to now think that the Crosby born in Illinois in 1846 would be a better choice as your relative. Two things: Why are you interested in Crosby, son of Remmington? Crosby Whitney of the 44th Iowa received a pension, filed in the State of Kansas. His widow, Lucinda, received a widow's pension, filed from the State of California. Are you interested in me obtaining the pension applications?

WRG: Below you will find my abstract of the Civil War pension file of Crosby C. Whitney. Crosby's ancestry is yet to be determined, and is being researched by Gerald (Jerry) Whitney. Enjoy! >From the Civil War Pension File of Crosby C. Whitney Private, Company A, 15th Michigan Infantry Rose Whitney, Widow Invalid Application #719415, Certificate #505096 Widow Application #911220, Certificate #674436 The National Archives Building, Washington, D.C. Crosby C. Whitney signed a Declaration for Original Invalid Pension on 25 July 1889 from Grand Traverse County, Michigan. He is forty-six years old and a resident of the Village of Walton, Grand Traverse County, Michigan. He was enrolled on 13 March 1862 in Company A of the 15th Regiment of Michigan Infantry commanded by John M. Oliver. He was honorably discharged at Little Rock, Arkansas on 13 August 1865. He describes himself as 46 years old, 5 feet 11 ½ inches in height, dark complexion, dark hair, and blue eyes. While in the service and in his line of duty at Shilo Spring, Tennessee on or about 25 April 1862, he was taken sick with chronic diarrhea. About the 13th of August, he was taken with the same disease. On or about 20 November 1864, he was hit with a piece of shell under the left shoulder. The above diseases and wounds have left him generally debilitated. He was treated in the following hospitals: 4th Division Hospital near Shilo Springs in April, May and June 1862, and at Bolivar, Tennessee in the hospital. Since leaving the hospital he has resided in Grand Traverse County, Michigan, where his occupation has been as a scaler. Prior to enrollment in the military, he had been a farmer. Crosby also filed a History of Claimant's Disability form in answer to a Pension Office Circular. Added to his previous testimony is that for seventeen years immediately preceding his enlistment, his post office was Burr Oak, St. Joseph County, Michigan, where he was a farmer. After discharge, he had lived until October of 1879 in Burr Oak. Since 17 October 1879 he has resided in Walton, where he has been a farmer. His disease is as previously described. He was wounded about 20 December (sic) 1864 near the Ogeechee River in Georgia. He received medical treatment from Dr. J.J. McConkie of Cedar Rapids, Iowa from 1879 to 1887. In a further affidavit, Crosby supplied testimony concerning his shoulder wound. He states that the injury caused by the shell fragment causes severe pain in the left breast at times, and soreness all the time. If he takes cold, it always settles in his left side, and if he strains by lifting or any other cause, it results in severe pain, dizziness, or fainting spells. When he has a cold or those severe pains, he is kept from work of any kind. Light work is all he can do at any time. There is testimony from Stephen H. Whitney, who was in the same company in the army. He testifies that they were intimately acquainted, and both lived in Burr Oak, Michigan. He corroborates Crosby's story of his physical disability. The physical examination in support of the claim shows Crosby to be 46 years old, 5 feet 11 ½ inches in height, and weighs 205 pounds. The examination does not support the claim of disability due to then shell fragment wound. Crosby was pensioned at two dollars per month for chronic diarrhea. He applied for many increases in benefit over the years. In a 1903 application, he is described as 58 years old, 239 pounds in weight, with a fair complexion, gray eyes, and brown hair. He was then employed as a railroad crossing guard. He was residing at 508 East Avenue in Jackson, Jackson County, Michigan. On 8 March 1898, Crosby responded to an inquiry from the Bureau of Pensions. He is married to Rose Whitney, maiden name Rose Negus. They had been married 27 June 1866 at Three Rivers, St. Joseph County, Michigan by E.H. Lothrop. They each have a marriage certificate. Their living children are: Lennie Whitney, born 23 August 1867; Robert J. Whitney, born 17 June 1871; Clifford C. Whitney, born 24 November 1876;, and Glen Whitney, born 8 October 1880. Crosby C. Whitney was last paid at twelve dollars per month to 4 December 1908, and was dropped from the pension rolls because of his death on 18 December 1908. Rose Whitney signed a Declaration for Widow's Pension from Jackson County, Michigan on 5 January 1909. She is sixty-three years old, and a resident of Jackson, Jackson County, Michigan. She asks for the accrued pension due the soldier from his date of last payment until he died. She had been married to the soldier under the name Rose Negus at Three Rivers, Michigan on 27 June 1866 by Esq. Thorp, J.P. (sic). Neither had been previously married. The soldier died at Jackson, Michigan on 18 December 1908. She resides at 508 East Ave., Jackson, Michigan. In the file is a copy of the marriage record filed by John C. Joss, County Clerk of St. Joseph Co., Michigan. E.H. Lothrop, J.P., certifies that at the public house of Leonard Fisher in the Village of Three Rivers, on 27 June 1866, he joined in marriage Mr. Crosby C. Whitney of Burr Oak, age 23 years, and Miss Rose Negus of Burr Oak, age 23 years. The marriage was witnessed in the presence of Stephen Whitney and Warren Whitney of Burr Oak. Rose supplied the testimony of two witnesses who supported the fact that Crosby and Rose were married, and lived as a married couple until he died. The witnesses were her sisters: Emma Whitney, age 68, and Julia Utter, age 58. Rose was certified for a pension. She was last paid at twelve dollars per month to 4 June 1916, and was dropped from the pension rolls because of her death on 26 July 1916 in Jackson, Michigan. Ken Whitney Silver Spring, MD

David Whitney was left alone as to near relatives a the age of 18 years. He carried a musket at the battle of Platsburg banks in 1812, being then 16 years old. He left Vermont when 18 years old and settled down in Allegany County, New York, as a farmer. By hard work became the owner of a good farm and the head of a family. Sold out and moved west in 1836, with wife and five children. Purchased and put under improvements a half section of land, at the same time doing considerable in stock raising. Sold out in Ohio in 1856 and settled in Olmsted County, Minnesota, where he put a nice farm under good improvements. Sold out again in 1870, and bought in Jasper County, Missouri, where he lived as farmer until his death, 1876. He died Nov 10, 1876; resided Almond, New York, and Scotland, Missouri.

This is very important because I have not provided ANY of the source references that are present on those pages, feeling that the data part would fill up this message anyway. I would be interested to hear from you after you work your way through this, and then if you are in a position to add to the lineage I would hope that you would be willing to supply your data to be included -- to expand our collective knowledge about the descendants of the original Whitneys.

Samuel was the son of Solomon Whitney and Sarah Roberts and was born 6 June 1759 in Canaan, CT. I was hoping someone would know his wife's name and their children's names. I believe that they had a son named David b. 4 Mar 1796 but know nothing else.
