Recently, we received the great news that a fifth descendant of Henry Whitney has been confirmed through the DNA Project. Thanks Whit and Tim. The person identified is Steve Whitney who was born in Lamont, Mississippi in 1915. He was one of 10 children of Ike (maybe Isaac) Whitney b. c1865 and Beatrice (Beadie) Bailey both born in Mississippi. His grand parents were Henry Whitney b.1817 and Dodie Unknown, both born in Mississippi. There was only one Whitney family in Jefferson County, Mississippi in 1820 and therefore, Henry's father MAY have been the head of that family, William Whitney. I am trying to piece this family together and link it to Henry. Any and all help will be appreciated. Bill Whitney
