WRG: The following was extracted from the Civil War pension file of Sampson Whitney. His lineage is: John1, Benjamin2, Nathaniel3, Nathan4, David5, Nathan6, Sampson7. I hope it helps someone. This will be the last pension file extraction for awhile. I have extracted four more, but they involve some detective work in order to connect them to the family. They all involve soldiers who lived in, or migrated from, the State of Maine. Meanwhile, enjoy! Civil War Pension File for Sampson Whitney Widow: Jane Whitney National Archives, Washington, D.C.
