Genealogical & Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of the State of Massachusetts by William Richard Cutter, William Frederick Adams. WHITNEY. Page Ii MASSACHUSETTS. The surname Whitney was originally a place name. The parish from which the family takes its name is located in county Hereford, England, upon the extreme western border adjoining Wales and is traversed by the lovely Wye River. The name of the place doubtless comes from the appearance of the river, meaning in Saxon, white water, from hwit, white, and ey, water. The coat-of-arms of the Whitney family of Whitney is: Azure, a cross chequy or and gules. Crest: A bull's head couped sable, armed argent, the points gules. The English ancestry of John Whitney, the immigrant who settled at Watertown, Mass., has been established by Henry Melville and presented in an exquisitely printed and illustrated volume. Very few American families have their English genealogy in such well authenticated and satisfactory form. An abstract of the English ancestry is given below: (I) Turstin, "the Fleming," otherwise known as Turstin de Wigmore, probably also as Turstin, son of Rolf, and Turstin "the White," was a follower of William the Conqueror. He was mentioned in the Domesday book as an extensive land holder in Herefordshire and the Marches of Wales. He married Agnes, daughter of Alured de Merleberge, a Norman baron of Ewias Castle, in the Marches of Wales. (II) Eustace, son of Turstin, was a benefactor of the monestary of St. Peter in Gloucester. He or one of his immediate descendants took the surname De Whitney from Whitney of the Wye, in the Marches of Wales, where his principal castle was located. The estate comprised over two thousand acres, and remained in the family until 1893, when it was sold, there being no member of the family to hold it. The castle has entirely disappeared, but it is believed to be in ruins under the Wye, which has in the course of years changed its path. The castle was probably built on an artificial mound, surrounded by a moat fed by the river, which gradually undermined the castle, which was at last disintegrated. (III) Sir Robert de Whitney, a direct descendant of Eustace, was living in 1242 and was mentioned in the "Testa de Nevill." Three or four intervening generations cannot be stated with certainty. (IV) Sir Eustace de Whitney, son of Sir Robert, gave deed to the monastery of St. Peter in 1280, referring to and confirming the deed of his ancestors above mentioned. He was Lord of Pencombe, Little Cowarn and Whitney in 1281; was granted free warren by Edward Ist ; summoned to wars beyond the seas in 1297; tenant of part of the manor of Huntington in 1299; in the Scotch war in 1301. He was possibley grandson instead of son of Sir Robert. (V) Sir Eustace de Whitney, son of Sir Eustace, was knighted by King Edward I in 1306, and was a member of parliament for Herefordshire in 1313 and 1352. (VI) Sir Robert de Whitney, son of Sir Eustace, was one of two hundred gentlemen who went to Milan in the retinue of the Duke of Clarence on the occasion of the latter's marriage in 1368. He was a member of Parliament for Herefordshire in 1377, 1379 and 1380 and Sheriff in 1377. (VII) Sir Robert Whitney, son of Sir Robert, was sent abroad to negotiate treaty with the Count of Flanders in 1388; member of Parliament for Herefordshire in 1391. He was sent to France to deliver the castle and town of Cherbourg to the King of Navarre.

I would really like to make contact with any descendants of John Brundage Whitney (1827 - ?) and Martha Ann Bailey (1829 - ?). According to Phoenix, they live in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1874. They had a son Frederick B. Whitney (1850 - ?) who married Mary I. Unknown (1852 - ?) and had a daughter Alice I. Whitney, a clerk who lived in Boston, Massachusetts. John and Martha also had a daughter Henrietta Olive Whitney (1855- ?) who married George H. Barker (1850- ?) of Boston, Massachusetts. At one point, the family was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This family is an important link with the Henry Whitney descendants who went to Canada after the Revolution and I would really like to be in touch with them to share a portion of our family history. Any leads appreciated. Bill Whitney

Carol and Marion, Thank you both for checking the census for me. My problem is so many of my ancestors went by their middle names. My GGGrandmother was Elizabeth Jane Whitney but I find quite a few records of her going by Jane. She wa born about 1832 in Delaware Co NY. On her death record it says her father was Joseph. I've been looking for Joseph and some one suggested maybe his real name was Zachariah because the dates fit so now I'm chasing Zachariah Whitney. Zachariah Joseph WHITNEY (AFN: 1RK0-CKR) Birth: 6 Feb 1810 Kortright, Delaware County, New York Death: 25 Feb 1884 Children F Jane WHITNEY (AFN:1RK1-W05) Born: Abt. 1833 F Ann (Lydia) WHITNEY (AFN:1RK1-W2K) Born: Abt. 1837 F Margaret A. WHITNEY (AFN:1RK1-W1C) Born: 18 Jan 1835 Place: Jewett, New York Died: 1898 Place: Sure would like to get this figured out. Any suggestions? Thanks again, Bonnie

Bonnie, I rechecked the 1850 census record -- The place of birth may very well be New York. I mistook it for the enumerator's squiggle for "ditto" and when I checked page 185 the last place of birth given was Conn. I would guess that she was a housekeeper for them, although it doesn't provide any occupational information. The 1850 census lists 2 other Whitneys in Stamford -- Joseph age 60 something, a laborer in another household and Margaret, age 15, born NY, living (working?) in the household of Andrew Cowan (Cowen), wife Emeline, children Hector and John. As for the 1840 -- this census lists only the head of household by name and then tallies the number of males and females falling within certain age groups. There is no female of the age Elizabeth would have been in this household. Keep looking...she may turn up someday! I'm not familiar with NY records so I can't advise you where to look now. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes, the old website is still down. Unfortunately, we have been unable to recover the data from the hard drive. The good news is that we do have a backup.
