Consulting NewEnglandacestors.com, I get slightly different results for the marriage of Baxter D. Whtiney and Sarah J(ane) Whitney. She was born in Winchendon 14 July 1827 which does not make her a spinster in 1846. Also, her parents were Richard and Eunice (Cogswell) Whitney, married in Winchendon 13 June 1822 (at ancestry.com some say 1820). Finding Richard and Eunice in the censuses is a little trickier, though. There is a Eunice in the 1860 census, age 56, but she lives with 16-yr-old Joseph L. Whitney, and we can't tell whether she is a widow or not, though that makes sense. Also, Richard and Eunice had another dau. named Eunice Matilda, born 1837. A Eunice M., age 12, appears on the 1850 census in Winchendon, but living with Amasa Whitney--her sister Sarah's father-n-law? (Relationship to head of hsehold is not stated.) According to Ancestry.com, Richard Whitney, husband of Eunice Cogswell, was born Middletown (Stowe) Mass. 1798, son of Daniel Whitney & ? and died 1849 which explains his absence from 1850 & 1860 censuses.
