Hope all is well with you. I just came back from the Catskills. I visited Westkill, Bushnellville, Lexington, Jewett Phoenicia, Shandaken, Fleishmanns and Halcott. What a great trip. I went with Lynn (Whitney) Nelson's husband, Carl, (also 77 years old). He showed me the old Walter Whitney farm in Westkill, Marion Place's house, the old Russell B Whitney chicken farm in Bushnellville, etc. We also found the old cemetery in Halcott where Alfred, Phoebe & Eli are buried. There are many Whitneys there including Jonathon,,,,,,who is your direct descendant, I believe. I have many pictures if you would like some copies. I also found the cemeteries in Jewitt, ( Maplewood Cemetery). Walter B Whitney 1st & Walter B 2nd, Mae West Whitney are all buried there. You should get info on the new things that the Mormon Geneaology experts are digging up for us. Talk to you soon.
