The ages of John & Elinor Whitney and of their children as recorded, at the time of their embarkation for New England, in April, 1635, (see Vol. X., Third Series, Massachusetts Historical Collection, p.24) and, as stated in the beginning of the Whitney Genealogy, were doubtless incorrect. It is probable that they were several years older than this record would make them appear. Samuel Whitney of Brunswick and his son Samuel Whitney Jr., were taken prison- ers to Canada, July 24, 1751, and sold for 126 livres. He had a wife and six children. He since made his escape. Solomon Whitney made his escape from the Indians and died in a hospital, Nov. 18, 1750. Timothy Whitney was bought for £315. per "Revolution" Book, Vol. 74 (VIII.) pp. 46 & 59, at the State House, Massachusetts. End.
