To Kim Holeton, I'm replying to your message forwarded by Jeanne Muse via the Whitney mailing list, as I don't have your e-mail address. I, too, am a descendent of Elisha and Esther Clark Whitney. My gr-gr-gr-grandmother, Esther Whitney Woodburn was the younger sister of Dr. Elisha Whitney. For a couple of years I've been intending to forward my data onto the Whitney Research Group's database. I'd like to first get all of my data organized and transcribed to electronic format, but time restrictions have prevented me from accomplishing that task. It will eventually come, however. In the meantime, I'd be more than happy to share any information I have. Naturally, the more recent generations are better documented, but I may have information that you haven't yet come across and would be interested in. Waiting to hear from you!
