Dear GramyG@aol.com I saw your question about Moses Whitney. I have run across this family in some of my research in Westminster, Vermont. I have not found a connection yet but noticed that you listed a Calvin Powers. I have some Powers in my line from Westminster, and Putney marrying into the Whitney line. 1. Adolphus Whitney- was born on 11 Aug 1786 in Westminster, Windham County, Vermont, was christened in Windham and died on 14 Dec 1869 in Hartland, Windsor County, Vermont. Died of double pneumonia Adolphus married Martha Powers- daughter of Jonas Powers-and Lydia Tower-, on 31 Aug 1808 in Putney, Vermont They had the following children: + 2 M i. Hiram Whitney-[117] was born on 28 May 1810 in Sherburne, Rutland, Vermont and died on 21 Nov 1889 + 3 M ii. Alfred Whitney-[12] (3) was born about 1812 4 U iii. Sylvester Whitney-[258] was born about 1815. He lived with Alfred per 1850 census. This is only assumption that they are all related. + 5 M iv. Edward Whitney-[109] (4) was born in Apr 1825 in Hartland, Vermont (5) 6 M v. Leineos H. Whitney-[153] was born about 1828-1829. Infor from NEGHS Vt Vr's 1850 Census #61870 I am interested in the "History of the Powers Family" by Nathaniel Powers. Is a copy available? Diana Frazer glwq21a@aol.com
