He married a Sarah Compton, d/o Joseph Compton and Anna VanDusen "of New York" [snip]< Patty: The "Unconnected Whitneys" database contains a Sarah Compton with the above description as reported by researcher A. Littel whose e-mail address was LittelA.@aol.com A. Littel had advised that Sarah was married to George Washington Whitney, whose FATHER was William Whitney. I do not know how old the information is, or if A. Littel's e-mail address is still good. There is something funny about the information I entered on William Whitney. I suppose that I mistyped the approx. year of his birth and that it should be circa 1791 instead of 1891. You can view the Unconnected Whitneys database online at this address: http://www.my-ged.com/whitneys/ Let me know if you think these are the same families and what changes need to be made to update the info.
