Does anyone have any information about Solomon Whitney of Rindge, NH in 1776. He was on the Colonial America, 1607-1789 Census Index for that year. My ancestor Joshua Webster was also there. His son m Dolly Whitney. Israel was born in Rindge, NH 1772 and ca 1795 moved to Ontario Co., NY w brother Asa Webster. I had thought Israel and Dolly m in Ontario Co., but perhaps he went back for her. My ancestor, their eldest child, Polly Webster, was b in Seneca, Ontario Co., NY in April 1803/4. Perhaps the marriage happened in Rindge? Dolly Whitney was born 16 Sept 1782, I know not where or to whom. She is listed as Israel Webster's wife from a Webster family record and also in a manuscript by Winifred Lovering Holman on the Webster Family at the New England Historic Gen. Library in Boston. Thanks for any help! Kay Ostertag in Minnesota

Thanks for any help! Kay Ostertag in Minnesota I can't help with the parents of Dolly WHITNEY. Solomon WHITNEY of Rindge, NH, may be Solomon-6 WHITNEY, son of Solomon-5 and Martha (FLETCHER) WHITNEY [Nathaniel-4, Nathaniel-3, John-2, John-1], b. 5 Dec 1735, Concord, MA, who m. 14 Jan 1762, Lincoln, MA, Mary FAY. They had two children, Leonard (1763) and Silas (1766), born in Lincoln, after which I have no further record of them. F. C. Pierce says that he was in the Revolutionary War in a company from Lincoln. The other alternative is that it was his father, Solomon-5, who was too old to be father of your Dolly.
