Thanks Marion, I've been looking in antique book stores for a copy of the Hinckleys of Maine and have not yet found one. Samuel Lumber Whitney b. Feb. 6, 1774 had a son John Whitney b.1808 and the son you mention, Samuel Lumber born in 1820, but I know nothing about the second Samuel. My records show Eliza Whitney and Jesse Hinckley having marriage banns published Aug 8, 1824. I know the Hinckleys were a very old Maine family. Does the Hinckley book say anything about Samuel and Lydia Whitney's son John b. 1808? thanks, Carolyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marion Martin" <[email protected]> To: "Christopher Branagan" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 2:43 PM Subject: Re: [WHITNEY-L] Indian Captives 1752 > Carolyn, > > I have a copy of "Hinckley's of Maine," that I bought because of the > number of Whitneys to be found in it.
