Hi Larry, Thanks for the info, but, unfortunately, the only place I have been able to place my Theodore Whitney is in New Orleans, La. In the 1850 Census he was about 6 yrs old, living with a fractured family, none of whom had the last name of Whitney. I don't know if he was an orphan or just visiting. He was listed as having been born in NY. I suspect my connection with him is through a late marriage or a second marriage. He married Melanie Elizabeth Beaulieu in New Orleans and their first child was born in 1900. I have nothing further than that on him at this point. Thanks anyway, Donna On Fri, 10 Nov 2000 17:51:21 -0600 "Larry Tracy" <tracycomm@loa.com> writes: Hello Donna, I noticed your posting on the WRG concerning Theodore Whitney. Your fellow wouldn't be from Maine would he? In recent years we followed a Theodore (son of Ebenezer and Ann) from Harrison, Me into the Civil War, then onto Mass. and Maine again. Also found deeds with name given as Moses Theodore Whitney. Just thought I would mention it, should this ring any bells. Regards, Larry Tracy Jr. Kennebunkport, Maine
