Dear Lois: A MANTLE WHITNEY appears in the Unconnected "Miscellaneous" Whitney database that I maintain. He is being researched by Mary (don't know her last name) whose address I have as snowball@aol.com . Mary told me this about him: "They all moved to Michigan except for Norman who moved to Texas. Irving, Lewis and Robert lived in Wayne County in MI. Bert lived in northern Mi I believe in Oscoda County. I do not know where in Texas Norman moved to. Mantle also had two other children with another wife I do not know her name. I remember as a child that my aunt and uncle use to go visit down in Youngstown OH. That tends to make me believe that maybe their were some Whitney's living there." According to what Mary provided, Mantle Whitney was b. circa 1863 in New York. He married Mary FULLER in about 1885 in Pennsylvania and they had the following children: Bert Whitney, b. circa 1886 Irving Whitney, b. 1888 Lewis Whitney, b. 1892 Norm Whitney, b. 1896 Robert Whitney, b. 1901 Mary and Mantle appeared in the 1900 New York Census. I wish I could be more helpful. You might search the WRG web site http://www.whitneygen.org to look at any other information on Mantle and/or Mentle Whitney. Good luck!

My 90 yr old sis found an old address on things she was going thru. He was in Castle Rock Wa. Do you have any unconnected Whitneys in Wash. He was Born Ny 1864. He was in Wash. 1916? to the 1930"s. Also my sister recall rhat my dad said ther was a Whitney-Paine connection but we have not found that either. Lois Bauman@cs.com
