Hello Karen, Great to have contact with our Whitney branch. As far as your family from Esther, I had looked at the wrong generation. Dr. Elisha had an Aunt and a sister named Esther. RE Woodburn and Whitney connections. They must have been close friends of the Whitneys in Stockbridge Mass and in Wysox PA. In Elisha Whitney/Esther Clarks family, there were 4 marriages to Woodburns. My reference had to do with our neighbors in Illinois who were related to Woodburn and Marston families that were related to the PA families, before they moved to Illinois. My information is also not electronic yet and I have about 6" of family sheets on the Whitneys. Yes, lets keep in touch. By the way, have you found much on Ester Clark's family? I am at a dead end.
