WRG: I spent yesterday at the D.A.R. Genealogy Library in Wahington, D.C. I was avoiding the mess of traffic that starts today. Anyway, while there I viewed a microfiche of the vital records of Westfield, Hampden Co., MA, 1669-1895. I found two Whitney families there, and have transcribed their records for you. I believe some of these individuals are in some databases already, and these records may enhance your knowledge. Enjoy!
