Dear WRG: John Hilton, a former member of our list, sent in a query which I added to the Unconnected Whitneys database several years ago. In response to that entry, I received the below message. I tried to forward a copy of it to John, but the mail bounced. Does anyone know where Bezaleel Whitney fits?

Jenks from Jonathan Jenks & Lucy Whitney Hello Jeanne - Here is an addition to the entry I found on the whitneygen website. the referenced Lucy Whitney is daughter of Bezaleel Whitney and Lucy Shays. And in case you're interested, Charles' wife Olive Hilton, was daughter of David Hilton and Hannah Black David Hilton was b. 1783 in East Windsor Vermont. He died in Byron, Kent Co. Michigan 8 Jan 1874. Hannah Black has a memorial headstone in Michigan, but she actually died in 1847 in Ogden, Monroe, New York. Charles Jenks & Olive had 2 sons. -Kathy
