While visiting the Concord, MA, Museum Sunday I happened to ask a docent if he knew of any Whitneys in Concord. He chuckled and said he plays Thomas(I think and hope) Whitney, the Quartermaster of the colonial defenders when the British first came to Concord. He also said that this family lived in what is now referred to as Orchard House, later to be made famous by the Alcott family, most especially Bronson Alcott. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 8:00 AM Subject: WHITNEY-D Digest V05 #121
