All: As I work on the Whitney DNA Project, a few individuals have had their test results show that they were not descendants of John, Henry, or Samuel. While the possibility still exists with such cases that an adoption or non-paternal event occurred, there is another option. Because their descendants account for most of the Whitneys in the United States, we tend to think of only John, Henry, and Samuel as being the Whitney immigrants. However, a quick check in the 1850 census shows that there were 29 Whitney males who were born in England or Wales. Other census enumerations undoubtedly list Whitneys who immigrated after 1850 as well. We need to keep in mind that there were many Whitney immigrants, and many of them we have yet to discover. Tim
