WRG:: Yesterday, I forwarded an extract from the Civil War Pension File of Augustus E. Whitney. Below is an extract from the file of his brother, Winfield Scott Whitney. Winfield's ancestry line will, of course, be the same as his brother's, so I refer you to it for that information. I hope someone will find it of help. Enjoy!
