Source:" A history of Montana " 1 Author: Sanders, Helen Fitzgerald, Date of Publication: 1913 reprinted in Ancestry.com. This history contains a bio of Adelbert Whitney born about 27 March, 1867 in Waldo.Waldo,Maine, the son of Henry and Sarah Thomas Whitney who married in Belfast co.,Maine on 24 Dec., 1857. They died leaving Adelbert Whitney an orphan. He never gave his age the same which would seem to highlight his condition. He appears with parents as a 3 year old in the 1870 census. Adelbert married Lena Montez Haney in Belfast co.,Maine in 1891 and they moved to Big Timber,Sweet Grass,Montana. Three infant sons died before 1910 in Montana. Lena died 1 Dec., 1944 and her husband "Del" Whitney lived until 17 Feb., 1957. I do not know the linage of this Henry Whitney of Waldo county, Maine and would suggest adding him to our unknowns from Maine. Sincerely yours, James E. Whitney,II

James, I believe that you will find that Adelbert Whitney's father, Henry W. Whitney, was the son of Samuel and Margaret (Darrow) Whitney of Belfast, Maine. Samuel's ancestry is: John1, Benjamin2, Nathaniel3, Nathaniel4, Moses5, Samuel6. Henry7, Adelbert8. Henry W. Whitney was married 3 times: first to Emily R. Mears about 1849; second to Sarah Thomas in Belfast, ME 24 Dec 1857; and third to Martha Ellen Merriam, intentions in Morrill, ME 7 Aug 1863. I hope this clears things up.
