Melville, Pierce, and many, many other sources concerning the English origins of the Whitney family can be found on the Whitney Research Group website, located at http://wiki.whitneygen.org/. Also, you'll probably want to look at the family group pages that we have created which combine the best known information from all sources for many of these families. You can start your journey by selecting "John Whitney Family" under "Families", then selecting his family group page. You can do the same for the other immigrants as well. From those pages, you can traverse up and down the lineage. Most of the pages also have links back to our extracts of the source material as well.

Which book on the Whitneys are you looking for ...the one by Melville or by Frederick Clifton Pierce? I know that the majority of Pierce's book has been transcribed online at the Whitney Research Group website. Excerpts from Melville's book can also be found at the Whitney Research Group. Pierce's book can be purchased from the New England Historical and Genealogical Society in Boston and probably Melville's book as well can be obtained from the Society. New England Historical Genealogical Society can be found online. I have an original copy of Pierce's book (pub. 1898) that my maternal grandmother purchased in Boston years ago and left it to me when she died. I am a descendant of John and Eleanor Whitney through 3 of their sons...Jonathan,John Jr. and Joshua. I would love to correspond with you and swap Whitney information.
