I sent this yesterday 12/14 to the list, but haven't seen it posted yet, and 12/15 messages are already being posted, so I thought I would forward it again to be posted to the list. Thank you _____ From: Joyce [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 10:07 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Whitneys of Saratoga, NY Hello list, It has been suggested that I send the below information to the list to see what you have to say about the following lineages: Two kind people have helped me in my search for Willard Moore Whitney b.23 Sep 1882 in NY. They would be Lois who found baptizimal list, and James, both of this list. The link below takes you to the Athens Refiormed Church baptismal list. It has Willard Moore Whitney being baptized and he is again listed with his wife Louisa Bartlett and their 3 children being baptized in 1887. The children are Laura Dolly Bertus Whitney b.13 Dec 1880, Willard Bartlett Whitney b. 23 Sep 1882, and Lillie Moore Whitney b.15 Oct 1884. I believe Willard and Lillie's middle names were transposed when the names were listed. Willard lists his middle name as Moore on his WWI draft registration card which has the EXACT same date of Willard Bartlett in the baptismal name listing in the Athens Reformed Church. <http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygreen2/athens_reformed_baptisms.htm> http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygreen2/athens_reformed_baptisms.htm The WWI draft registration card is on Ancestry.com also. I found Willard M Whitney b. 1851 in the 1870 census in Edinburgh, Saratoga, son of Zenas Whitney and Dolly Jane Snow. I assume that is my Willard Moore Whitney, father of the children baptized and husband to Louisa Bartlett. I have not been able to find this Willard and Louisa in later census'. I then went to Ancestry.com and the World Family Tree, and found the following: Willard Moore Whitney b. 1851, son of Zenas Whitney b. 2 Sep 1815 and Dolly Jane Snow, son of Zenas Whitney and Lydia Knight, son of Samuel Whitney and Phebe Harrington, son of Samuel Whitney and Elizabeth Hastings, son of Nathaniel Whitney, and Mercy Robinson, son of Samuel Whitney and Sarah Hagar, son of John Whitney and Ruth Reynolds, son of John Whitney (first in America from England) and Judith Clement, son of Thomas Whitney, and Mary Bray, son of Robert Whitney and Elizabeth Cromwell, son of Robert Whitney and Sybil Baskerville, son of Robert Whitney and Margaret Wye, son of James Whitney and Blanche Milbourne, son of Robert Whitney and Alice Vaughn, son of Eustace Whitney and Jennet Russell, son of Robert Whitney and Joan Oldcastle Wenillian, son of Robert Whitney and Mary Cromwell, son of Robert Whitney and unknown, son of Eustace Whitney and Isabel Croft, son of Eustace Whitney and Unknown, son of Robert Whitney and Unknown, son of Eustace Whitney and Ann Talbot, son of Thurstin The De Whitney and Agnes De Merlberge, son of Rolf De Whitney and Unknown, son of Robert De Whitney and unknown, son of Eustace DeWhitney and Unknown, son of Turstin De Wigmore and Agnes De Merlberge, son of Rolf Wy Flandrensis b. 1024 and Alured De Merleberge. Here is what James sent to me which is a little different and stops with the first Whitney to come to America: Here is how I would call this line starting with: Willard Moore Whitney, Jr.-born 1882 N.Y. Willard Moore Whitney-born 1851 N.Y. Zenas Harrington Whitney-born 12 Jan., 1812-N.Y. Moses Whitney-born 1767 Ma. Pierce#1843(see WRG Extracts) Samuel Whitney-born 1739 Ma.
