I was glancing through copied pages of the Minnesota Biographies volume of the Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society and I found quite a few Whitney men. I will not transcribe the bios here - just names and dates and locations of birth so if someone can connect and wishes the full bio I can provide it. They are not very long. I will also transcribe them in their entirety so that they can be placed in the extracts on the WRG website. There seems to be a number referring to another page/volume but I am undertain what the reference would be. It also appears these men were still living as no death dates are given. But for now...
