WRG I was able to break through on one of my Whitney Civil War soldiers whose identity was unknown to me. He is Moses Bray Whitney, born about 1826 at Letter E Plantation in Somerset Co., Maine. His ancestry line is: John 1, Richard2, Moses3, Moses4, Ephraim5, Moses6, Salmon7, Moses Bray8. The following I extracted from the Civil War Pension File of Moses B. Whitney.
