It may be of interest that David Day Whitney, Ph.D. Professor of Zoology at the Univ. of Nebraska 1916-1948, was a well-known geneticist. He is listed in American Men of Science 1961, 10th ed. Physical and Biological Sciences 4:4401. His lineage is David D -9, Cyrus H -8, Daniel -7, David -6, Benjamin -5, Joseph -4, Joseph -4, Jonathan -2, John -1. As he was my maternal grandmother's cousin, we always referred to him has "Cousin David." He wrote two books on genetics, in which he included examples from his own family (though they were anonymous in the books). These are: Family Treasures. Lancaster, PA: Jaques Cattell Press 1942 especially seek p. 18 which are: A. Julia Hall (1816 - 1873) B. Daniel Whitney -7 (David -6, Benjamin -5, Joseph -4, Joseph -3, Jonathon -2, John - 1) (1809 - 1873) 1 Roann (1835-1878) 2 Rosette (1836-1923) 3 Maria S (1838-1884) 4 Alonzo B (1840-1864) killed in Civil War 5 Emma (1841-1911) 6 David (1844-1927) 7 Daniel Frank (1846-1904) 8 Amine (1849-1924) 9 Cyrus H (1852-1908) 10 Walter Eugene (1856-1894) 11 Julia Ella (1858-1927) Family Skeletons. Lincoln, NE: Univ. of Nebraska Press 1946 (see p. 5, 72, 126, 188, 208) "Cousin" David was born 6 August 1878, in Brookfield Vermont. He received his A.B. from Wesleyan Univ. CT in 1904, his M.A. from Columbia Univ. in 1906, and his Ph.D. from Columbia in 1909. He married Kathryn Stillman Bunce (b. 10 Dec 1877, d. 23 Jan 1937) on 17 June 1914. They had one child, Elizabeth, who married a Mr. Vollnhofer from Switzerland. They moved to the Mother Lode region of California where they raised miniature and toy poodles commercially. David applied his knowledge of genetics to help them develop unusual colors in the poodles. I especially remember how proud they were of an apricot color variation. He died 7 April 1965 in Auburn, CA. Elizabeth died in 1976. Elizabeth had one daughter, Ingrid. When I last heard, several years ago, she was working for the State of New Mexico in Santa Fe.
