All of this discussion of Whitney's on prison ships has me wondering something. David Reynolds Sr, the Rev. War ancestor I have, was held on a prison ship off the coast of Maine. enlisted in Revolutionary War at Lyme CT in 1777 taken prisoner at Tarrytown, NY in fall 1782 escaped from british ship at Passamaquoddy, near Lubec, Maine in spring of 1783 He met his future wife while travelling towards home and his son married a Whitney. I'm wondering if there is any possible links here. David Reynolds Sr. m. Rebecca Cox David Reynolds Jr. m. Elmira Whitney, daughter of Nathan Whitney (1772-1816) Kess
