I'm so glad my information could help you, Judy! The information in my file came from Mary Landkamer <cn85313@navix.net>, so I've sent a copy of this message to her. (I hope her email address is still current.) I will also forward a copy of this message to the Whitney Research Group in case someone else connects and wants to get in touch with you. Be sure and visit the WRG web site and do a search for Sylvia. There may be more contained in Pierce's Whitney Genealogy and elsewhere on the site. http://www.whitneygen.org Briefly, she was Sylvia-7 Whitney (Ephraim-6, Amos-5, Amos-4, Nathaniel-3, Benjamin-2, John-1).

VIOLET To: jwmuse@compuserve.com Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 9:34 AM Subject: Sylvia Whitney of Tuscarawas, Ohio b. 1812 Dear Jeanne, My ancestor is Sylvia (Silva) Whitney b. 1812 (L. D. S. records confuse her with two Sylvas in Maine with birthdate 1807-8 or 1811 who did not leave Maine and married other man). Mine married Jacob Wright b. Sept. 24, 1807, a peddler on 1850 Rush, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio census, s/o James Wright of MD. came to Ohio 1829-30, wife Barbara. Jacob and Sylva's children: Kasarah (Maria) b.Sept. 26, 1833 m. John Dues, Mary J. b. April 31, 1835 m. Eli Yost, Wm. C b. Nov. 1841 m. Susan Kiser, James W. b. Nov. 3, 1843 m. Sarah J. Beougher, Margaret b. 1846 m. Josiah Kiser, Thomas G. b. 1849 m. Theresa Caroline May, Samuel J. b. 1850 m. Barbara E. Baucher, Annie Elizabeth Wright b. 1855 m. George W. Baucher, all in Mercer Co. where they all moved in 1860. This is the first time I found Whitney ancestry past Ephraim, I'm thrilled. I can send printed descendency to you. I have never dowloaded a GEDCOM yet, except on Familytree off the World Family Tree they sponsor, on another family line of mine. I use Familytree software version 8. I will try it with yours, to get more detailed family history. My address is: Judy Violet 210 N. Mall Dr., #140 St. George, Ut. 84790-1477 e-mail: jjv@redrock.net
