I have still not been able to find to much information on my John Whitney. Every census I have found with him on it has him born MA. On a piece of paper written by one of his children it says Deerfield, MA. He was born in 1784 and died 2/20/1871 in Coles County, IL. The family moved around a lot. He was married to Polly Gibbs from CT, a few of their children were born in Broome County, NY, they eventually went to Waukesha County, WI where Polly died, then on to Coles County, Illinois. Can anyone give some advice? Thank you in advance. John Whitney has been my brick wall for a couple of years. Janet Whitney Duffield
