Russ Whitney I know you are as anxious and excited as I am in finding out the father of ALFRED WHITNEY-1 and his relationship to "The Whitney Family of Connecticut". I'm already six hours into this project. Here's what I have found: 1) The WHITNEY family groups followed this migration pattern. I'm taking you backwards from Roxbury to the original ancestor HENRY WHITNEY who arrived from England to America. 1a) ALFRED WHITNEY-1 to Roxbury Twp, Greene Co, New York from 1b) AARON, ELIAS -OR- EZEKIEL WHITNEY - to Poughkeepsie Twp, Dutchess Co., New York from (trying to find out which one is his father?) 1c) THREE WHITNEY COUSINS -to Fishkill Plains Twp, Dutchess Co., New York from (reason they left was found by a journal entry of JERUSHA WHITNEY SHERWOOD daughter of HENRY WHITNEY and ELIZABETH OLMSTEAD, granddaughter of Ancestor Henry Whitney: SLC film #1,033,873, item 3 Title: "Daniel L. Sherwood and his paternal ancestors" Contents included surnames of Hammond, Mead and Whitney. Page 93 gives description of Ridgefield Twp, Fairfield Co, Connecticut: "To the north, the high hills of Danbury, New Fairfield, and lower Litchfield County rise most imposingly. To the east, the Bethel and Redding Hills, interspersed with wooded vales, gives us a charming view, and from early dawn till sunrise are most inspiring. To the south the country is more rolling, sloping in gentle undulations away to Lond Island Sound -- To the west we have our highest and most commanding range of hills, West Mountain and Titicus Mountain. Beyond is a beautiful rolling country, stretching to the Hudson River, with the Highlands and the hills at Putnam and Dutchess Counties in the distance." Page 126 gives the reason and time period of the Whitney exodus: "--- The Great Revolutionary War, when the British 'shot up' Ridgefield and killed General Wooster --- how so many of our kindred left the country ---" 1d) FIVE WHITNEY BROTHERS - to Ridgefield Twp, Fairfield Co, Connecticut from 1e) SON JOHN WHITNEY- Norwalk, Fairfield Co, Connecticut from 1f) ANCESTOR HENRY WHITNEY to Salmon's land, Hashamommock, Southold, Long Island, Suffolk Co, New York from England. My excitement as to the relationship of ALFRED WHITNEY to "The Whitney Family of Connecticut", SLC film #1,033,936. Three volumes, 2740 pps. 2) Your Grand-uncle REUBEN WHITNEY-16 married JENNY GRIFFIN and her lineage goes directly to Ancestor Henry Whitney. Please pay attention to the surnames and I will explain their relationship in Roxbury, Greene, New York. 2a) JENNY GRIFFIN (W-17151 pg2180) is daughter of James and EMMA JANET CRONK Griffin, 2b) EMMA JANET CRONK (W-9816 pg1439) is daughter of David and FRANCES LINES Cronk, 2c) FRANCES LINES (W-3600 pg655) is daughter of Philip and PRISCILLA BANKS Lines, 2d) PRISCILLA BANKS (W-1087 pg241) is daughter of Lemuel and REBECCA KEELER Banks, 2e) REBECCA KEELER (W-267 pg82) is daughter of ELIJAH and Sarah KEELER, 2f) ELIJAH KEELER (W-40 pg31) is son of Joseph and ELIZABETH WHITNEY Keeler, 2g) ELIZABETH WHITNEY (W-6 pg16) is daughter of JOHN WHITNEY, 2h) JOHN WHITNEY (W-2 pg11) is son of Ancestor HENRY WHITNEY (W-1 pg1). Why am I excited? Because the surnames of BANKS, KEELER and LINES are all direct cousins to ALFRED WHITNEY who was born about the same time period and now they all live in Roxbury, Greene, New York. This verifies relationship to Ancestor HENRY WHITNEY. So now we have the migratory pattern of the WHITNEY Family Groups and relationships leading to your Ancestor. Now to narrow down to which WHITNEY was the father of ALFRED in Dutchess Co, New York. My question to you: Do you know your cousins #122 ARTHUR R. WHITNEY, born 20 Apr 1929 and #123 MAURICE WHITNEY, born 27 Sep 1930, both born in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess, New York? They may verify my findings because their father #58 LOUIS F. WHITNEY went back to Poughkeepsie to die in 14 Jun 1975. Please let me know what you find out. Thank you for your patience and I hope to wrap this up soon.
