Roger - My 5 g-grandfather Joseph Whitney was 80-90 years older than your Joseph. You might, however, check the WhitneyGen webpage for Joseph Whitney: http://www.whitneygen.org/archives/extracts/pierce/names.html#WJ You could also contact Norene LaTour who lives in Vermont and is very knowlegable about that area: <[email protected]> Can anyone else help Roger with his search?

Edward Sapir (1949:151) I see on our Whitney Research Group Lineages Page that Joseph WHITNEY who married Abigail TOWNES has the following lineage: John-1 WHITNEY, m.(1) Elinor ----- ..John-2 WHITNEY, m. Ruth REYNOLDS ....Nathaniel-3 WHITNEY, m.(1) Sarah HAGAR ......William-4 WHITNEY, m. Martha PEIRCE ........Samuel-5 WHITNEY, m. Abigail FLETCHER ..........Elisha-6 WHITNEY, m. Eunice SEAVER ............Joseph-7 WHITNEY, m. Abigail TOWNES ..............Josephus-8 WHITNEY, m. Lucy WARD The URL is <http://www.whitneygen.org/families/lineages.html#182>. Jeff Wheatley is a descendant, and at last report he could be contacted at <[email protected]>. Joseph-7 WHITNEY was born 22 Feb 1784 in Westminster, MA, according to the vital records, but 1785 may be correct. See also <http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices/W/WHITNEY+2001+11172149691+F> <http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices/W/WHITNEY+2001+11342178469+F> Apparently the family lived for at least a while in Peru, VT, then moved to Lorain Co., Ohio. We seem to be multiply related, since I descend from Nathaniel-3 WHITNEY above, and am cousin to Martha PEIRCE, Abigail FLETCHER, Eunice SEAVER, and Abigail TOWNES! Regards, Robert Mr. Robert L.
