I found the following in the _Whitney Whistler_, vol. 2, no. 1: "J. B. Whitney, of Triangle, NY, was the son of Dexter Whitney, and the grandson of Asa Whitney, one of the pioneers. Dexter, a farmer, married Eliza Day, and had 13 children. J. B. Whitney married Emerett Brewer, and had 3 children, one of whom died very young. The surviving children were; Flora N. Whitney, and Ernest Whitney. Flora Whitney married C. H. Turner of Binghampton, NY. "A. R. Whitney, was born in Triangle, NY, April 6, 1847, son of Dexter and Elizabeth Farmer. He lived with his brother William D. Whitney, in Lisle, NY. A. R. Whitney married Marintha C. Baker, dau of William Baker. There were two children from this marriage, E. B. Whitney, who became the school commissioner, and Nora N. Whitney, wife of Eugene D. Phelps of Binghampton. Mr. Whitney's brother, William D. Whitney, was born in Triangle, Jan 9, 1849. He married Mary R. Parsons, and they had; Nina M. Whitney, Fayette Whitney, and Ora V. Whitney." This is clearly the right family. It establishes Adelbert R. WHITNEY as son of Dexter and Elizabeth (FARMER) WHITNEY, and grandson of Asa WHITNEY. Asa WHITNEY appears in Lisle, Broome Co., NY, in 1820, but I have no information as to his ancestry.
