Dear Kristy: Welcome to the Whitney Research Group! I hope that we will be able to assist you in your search for confirmable links to your Whitney (and other) ancestors. I want to commend you on the form of your inquiry. You provide not just names, but dates and places, and, what is really important, sources for your data. You have no idea how much significance that carries. It gives strong validation to the data you present and a map of the places that you have already looked. I wish we had more data from reliable sources in Vermont. There were so many Whitneys who moved north from MA for whom Vermont is a big black hole that has swallowed them up. Keep a hopeful heart, however, as there are several among our members who have worked on this particular problem and seem to be very well experienced with Vermont sources. Welcome, and Happy Hunting!
