ALFRED 1810 - 1867 is buried in the Halcott Cemetery in the Catskill Mountains. We have located most descendants from Alfred and Phoebe to date. We have not been able to get past Alfred to find his origin before 1810.. Here is some new insight. I hired some experts from the Mormon Church (LDS) in Utah to help me search. So far they are digging up some great info that we have been unable to find, to date. Here is some of their sources and info. --------------DDA5690960666341527B6905 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <fjmvana@juno.com> Received: from m2.jersey.juno.com ([64.136.16.65]) by ns1.olsusa.com (Post.Office MTA v3.5.3 release 223 ID# 0-64832U3500L350S0V35) with ESMTP id com for <wins@olsusa.com>; Fri, 10 Nov 2000 09:30:00 -0500 Received: from cookie.juno.com by cookie.juno.com for <"zRTQ86E/LNeRcjHHDIfIoYaASCnEN4mORchWzYmsGUaL20JKq2YQRA=="> Received: (from fjmvana@juno.com) by m2.jersey.juno.com (queuemail) id FNH6ZU96; Fri, 10 Nov 2000 09:36:47 EST To: wins@olsusa.com Cc: susancarrillo@russwhitney.com, bdm@cyon.com Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 07:36:32 -0700 Subject: Whitney Family Research Message-ID: <20001110.075712.9510.1.fjmvana@juno.com> X-Mailer: Juno 1.49 X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 0,3-4,12-13,18-19,24-25,27-28,32-33,39-40,44-45, 47-48,51-56 From: "Frances Jean O.

I will call them today to follow up on MELVIN WHITNEY and ALFRED WHITNEY, JR. postmasters. 2) With this information, was your ancestor a JR. and a postmaster? No. In the 1860 Census of New York, Delaware County, Roxbury Town dated 20 June 1860 (SLFHL film #0,803,743) page 24B, line 34 - we find ALFRED WHITNEY, age 50, a "Blacksmith" with $500 value of personal estate, born in New York. He is listed with his wife PHEBE, age 42; WILLIAM, age 8; and ELIZABETH, age 4. All these family members agree with the descendants of ALFRED WHITNEY and PHOEBE HAMMOND - #1 ALFRED WHITNEY, #10 WILLIAM and #13 (Mary) ELIZABETH. 3) In the 1860 Census of New York, Delaware, Roxbury Town, dated 21 Sep 1850 (SLFHL film #0,017,071) page 395B, line 30 - we find ALFRED WHITNEY, age 45, a "Blacksmith" born in New York. He is now listed with his wife PHEBE, age 40; EDGAR, age 12; MARGARET, age 10; LEONARD, age 8, JONATHAN, age 6, MARTIN, age 10/12. 3A) Please note that AMASA WHITNEY, AGE 13 is found on line 23 in the household of NICHOLAS REDMOND. Your great-grandfather WALTER B. WHITNEY married POLLY O. MEAD, whose mother was OLIVE REDMOND. So little Amasa may have been sent to live with the Redmond family whose home was just two doors away. 4) According to your Descendants of ALF
