Dear WRG: I received this note from a Don Henze, with an inquiry about Maine Whitneys. Having none, I wrote back asking for his permission to forward his message, which I have just received. ******************************** Hi Allan, I read something you wrote about Maine Whitneys, posted on the web. I have a relative named Jimmy Whitney, born around 1830 in Maine. He married Eliza Irving from Canada and had a daughter named Mercy, who was born in Canada. If you knew anything about this that would indeed be most fascinating! Thanks, Don Henze ****************************** If this rings a bell with anyone in the WRG, please post it to the Whitney-L list and send it to Don at this address: henze@email.unc.edu Allan E.
