There are just three Abner WHITNEY entries in the 1790 census: Whitney, Abner MA Worcester Co. Lancaster Town p. 224/321 [??] Whitney, Abner MA Worcester Co. Westminster Town p. 243/663 [Abner-6, Samuel-5, William-4, Nathaniel-3, John-2, John-1] Whitney, Abner NH Cheshire Co. Claremont p. 014 3-3-3-0-0 [Abner-5, Jonas-4, Eleazer-3, Thomas-2, John-1] I am aware of only four Abner WHITNEY men old enough to be listed, the other two being your Abner-5 WHITNEY [John-4, Isaiah-3, Thomas-2, John-1] (1734-1802) and his son Abner-6 WHITNEY (1755-bef.1810). I suppose that the last was already in NC by 1790, so perhaps the Abner WHITNEY in Lancaster, above, is the one you seek.
