Hi, List! It seems to me that I read that someone on this list has the "Whitney Family of Connecticut and It's Affiliations". I was wondering if that book might have listed the following Whitney's and if you could tell me if they are relations to my "ancestor-in-law"!! They are buried in an abandoned (but well kept) cemetery in Chittenango (Madison Co), NY. Their names are: Jonathan WHITNEY d. 17 Mar 1866, ae 65 yrs (Co G 2nd NY Heavy Art.) Elizabeth WHITNEY d. 1 Sept 1818 ae 47 yrs Alida WHITNEY, wf of John, d. 30 Oct 1852, ae 89 yrs My "ancestor-in-law" is Frances Winifred WHITNEY Boardman, wife of Charles Adrian Volkart Boardman. My brick wall is in regard to Charles' mother, Lavinia Louer Boardman who is also buried in the same cemetery with the above WHITNEY's. Please let me know if you are able to find anything on them. I appreciate all the help I can get. Best Always, Carol

From there you can trace her WHITNEY relatives. I don't find a Jonathan WHITNEY in the book who matches the above data, nor a John WHITNEY with wife Alida, so it is a good bet that these WHITNEY folks are not related to Frances.

Carol, Have you checked the Boardman genealogies? There is an excellent one out there, the name of which I've forgotten, which gave me information about the Whitneys in my own Whitney-Boardman connection (Columbia & Broome Cos., N.Y.) that wasn't in Pierce or Cutter.
