Dear Denny: I found Solomon and his family at the following address: _http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney%2C_Solomon_%28c1734-1 772%29_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_Solomon_(c1734-1772)) It does provide quite a bit of information about Solomon and Sarah, and lists four children, with wives or husbands for three. Samuel is the one left out on that page. However, following the link for his name, I found the following: Samuel5 Whitney (_Solomon4_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_Solomon_(c1734-1772)) , _David3_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_David_(1682-1768)) , _Joshua2_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_Joshua_(1635-1719)) , _John1_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_John_(1592-1673)) ), son of _Solomon4 and Sarah (Roberts) Whitney_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_Solomon_(c1734-1772)) , was born 6 Jun 1759, Canaan, CT, and died in 1814, Chittenden County, VT. He married ----- -----. Samuel Whitney was born in Canaan, Connecticut, and after the death of his father moved to Vermont, where he died quite suddenly of apoplexy. His wife died of consumption. He died in 1814; resided Chittenden County, VT.

Following the link for David produced this following information: David6 Whitney (_Samuel5_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_Samuel_(1759-1814)) , _Solomon4_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_Solomon_(c1734-1772)) , _David3_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_David_(1682-1768)) , _Joshua2_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_Joshua_(1635-1719)) , _John1_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_John_(1592-1673)) ), son of _Samuel5 and ----- (-----) Whitney_ (http://wiki.whitneygen.org/wrg/index.php/Family:Whitney,_Samuel_(1759-1814)) ; born Chittenden County, Vermont, Mar 4, 1796; married in Almond, New York, Mar 19, 1823, Margaret Karr, born Oct 28 1800; died Sept 10, 1887.

He left Vermont when 18 years old and settled down in Allegany County, New York, as a farmer. By hard work became the owner of a good farm and the head of a family. Sold out and moved west in 1836, with wife and five children. Purchased and put under improvements a half section of land, at the same time doing considerable in stock raising. Sold out in Ohio in 1856 and settled in Olmsted County, Minnesota, where he put a nice farm under good improvements. Sold out again in 1870, and bought in Jasper County, Missouri, where he lived as farmer until his death, 1876. He died Nov 10, 1876; resided Almond, New York, and Scotland, Missouri. Children of David6 and Margaret (Karr) Whitney: i. Lucy7 Whitney, born Mar 10, 1824; married Jan 3, 1842, John Bamber. She died Oct 16, 1855. He was born Nov 1, 1814; resided Clallam Bay, Washington.

Ann Whitney, born Sep 6, 1825; died 15 Jun 1834. viii. Maria Whitney, born Sep 6, 1829; died Oct 28, 1835. Unless you descend from Charles, then the buck stops here. I would STRONGLY suggest that you take the first URL I provided above, and then follow the links on the Whitney Research Group web site as I just did. This is very important because I have not provided ANY of the source references that are present on those pages, feeling that the data part would fill up this message anyway. I would be interested to hear from you after you work your way through this, and then if you are in a position to add to the lineage I would hope that you would be willing to supply your data to be included -- to expand our collective knowledge about the descendants of the original Whitneys.
