The first I cannot identify. The second would be Israel-5 WHITNEY (Elijah-4, Isaiah-3, Thomas-2, John-1), and, according to Pierce, the third is the same person. All the other Israel WHITNEY individuals of whom I know either were too young to serve in 1777, or were already dead by then. My ignorance is patent here! Regards, Robert Robert L.

Hi, By chance would any Whitney cousins out there know if there is a book for sale being offered by the MA Society of Genealogists, Ashland, MA perhaps titled "Plymouth County Cemeteries"? Thanks in advance for your input.
