I am trying to find a link between Merrick Whitney, b. May 8, 1832, supposedly in Springfield, Hampden Co., MA (s/o Artemus Hammond Whitney), d. March 14, 1888 and his wife Hannah Marie Peters, b. Sept. 1836 (d/o George Peters) and Jessie Estelle Warner. Jessie, was born March 28, 1874 in Ontario Canada while her parents, Frank D. Warner and Estelle Josphine Chamberlin where on vacation. Jessie attended the Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Wilbraham MA in 1890 & 1891 where she was listed as Jessie Whitney. When Jessie married her husband, Louie Melvin Newton on June 27, 1894, the wedding invitation listed her as a ward of H. M. Whitney (Hannah Marie), and the wedding announcement in the newspaper listed H. M. Whitney as Jessie's aunt. According to Jessie's date book, her mother died in 1897, which was after she attended the school and married. I have not found any connections from the Warner or Chamberlin families to any Whitney or Peters families. I would greatly appreciate any information on this family. Steve
