Dear Adrian: I checked the web site for the Whitney Bible record again, and it now reads 1854 rather than 1845. But I really swear it said 1845 the first time I saw it, and that was what was in that old archived note on the WRG maillist. Now, if I could only find out who his parents were (and whether he comes down from John & Elinor or from Henry Whitney) I could integrate him into my own collective database of Whitney descendants. Thank you, Happy Hunting! Allan E. Green ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
