Stu, I too monitor the rootsweb daily and this is the first time I've seen mention of Whitney's in IL. My father is a Whitney. Are you by chance related to Jonah Whitney who married Mary Ann Wadsworth? If not can you share with me your line? Pat

There are several instances of Whitneys in Illinois. I have looked at statewide records on a couple of sites (whose address escapes at the moment) and I recall them in several locations. My own interest in Whitney is in the descendants of the ever-elusive Jabez who lived in Adams County. Joseph I. Whitney lived there as did several of his sisters--Ann (Whitney) Peart and Lydia (Whitney) Castle among them. Jabez W. Whitney married in Brown County and later settled in Mercer County, Minnesota.
