    3. Hello WRG, Was browsing through the Barnes and Noble Used book site and came across this book for sale. I went to the Pierce Book transcriptions in a quick attempt to find this F.A. Whitney. I only found reference to him through "a cousin" with whom he formed the company??? That reference is Pierce's #2046 Francis Wolf WHITNEY (Abijah, Stephen, John, Benjamin, John). Just thought if there was someone from that line, they may be interested in this book. Shawn Whitney Seattle, WA Chronicles Of A Baby Carriage Whitney, F.A.
