John F. Whitney has been subject of discussion here before. Here are some related queries. Don't know that there is much here that you might not already know.

Whitney Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Death certificate in Brainerd, MN for John F. Whitney, male, white, widower, age 74 years, 6 months, 7 days. Born in Vermont. Died of consumption at Mooersville. Occupation: doctor. Died May 23, 1888. Parents are listed as James and H. Whitney. Can anyone connect me with the family of James, and would his wife be Hannah Bruce? Has anyone heard of Hannah Bruce? Wife of John F. Whitney was Sarah (Sally) Nokes of Franklin Co. Vermont. Would love to know where she is buried. Illinois, perhaps? ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 09 Jan 1999 11:21:12 -0600 From: Bertha Emmett <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Subject: [WHITNEY-L] JAMES WHITNEY, BORN CA1791 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit James Whitney was born about 1791 in Mass. By 1815 he had located in VT, where his son John Franklin was born in that year. And, both men had moved to NY by 1837 when John Franklin Whitney had a daughter, Hannah, born in 1837. They had moved to central Illinois by 1844. Family legend has it that James Whitney had married Hannah Bruce. And John (Frank) had married Sarah Nokes. Can anyone give me any leads as to which Whitney family of MA, this James would belong. I have not been able to find documentation of cities or counties where this family lived before coming to Menard & Brown Counties, IL. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!
