| − | == Asa Whitney/more ==
| + | Please delete page Family: Whitney Harry (1873-1945) created by me today. I see that it is a duplicate of an existing page for this person. Sorry for the confusion. Bill Cressey. |

| − | Hi, Robert! Thanks for replying to me, Mra823. I was looking over a paper that Whitney R. Allen gave to my grandfather's sister before he died. He has done some research himself about the Whitney family before he died. That is where I got most of the information for the Whitney family. I noticed that the Asa Whitney that you had on this website, and the Asa Whitney I have on the paper, are different. On my paper, it states that his name was Asa Taft I. It states that he married a Sarah Whitney. This is where it doesn't make any sense to me. Somewhere in the family line, there was an Asa Whitney, so I'm not sure if his name changed to Asa Whitney, or not. That would be very unusual though, for a husband to change his last name to his wife's. It states that he was born on April 29, 1774, and his father was named Silas. So, maybe it's a different Asa. Also, I found that Luella M.'s (the wife of Erwin B. Whitney) last name was "Self".

| − | Thanks, Matt Allen
| + | Please change his name to Samuel Whitney. As explained in the changes to the page I just made, the Husted information that his name was Daniel is not correct, alathough it was thought to be correct when the page was first created. |

| − | Robert,
| |
| − | Thank you so much for your info. It helps a lot. I got so much more new information about the Whitney's that I didn't have in the paper Whitney R. Allen had. Thank you so much again for taking the time to help me. I'll keep in contact if I find any new information about the Whitney's.

| − | | |
| − | I have done more work and have traced my family. It didn't follow the track you put me on, but that gave me clues. We are related quite a ways back, but certainly in the same extended family.

| − | Jason Whitney had a son Aaron Ferdinand, who is listed as marrying Almira Sophia Gleason. Aaron and Almira had a daughter named Agnes M. Agnes married Herman James Bugbee and had a son Lester Gordon Bugbee. Lester's daugter, Priscilla Agnes, is my grandmother. Aaron Ferdinand doesn't have his own page and I don't know how to include the information I have. I also have a wonderful photocopy of a photo from a 1919 Whitney Family reunion that has all of these people, and many more, in the photo. The photo has a key as well. I don't know how to include any of the information I have. I'm sure many people would enjoy seeing this photo. It was taken in Massachusetts, probably near Fitchburg.

| − | Robert,
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thank you for sorting the above, but I used the "undo" function to restore it to where I had left off. I prefer to keep them in the same order as listed in the Ancestry.com search until it's complete. It makes it a lot easier to find where I left off. Massachusetts wasn't complete as there are 37 Whitneys listed on the mortality schedules. I will sort the list on Saturday.
| |

| − | I also left some fields blank as Ancestry appears to be having an issue with some of there images and I couldn't view them. I have contacted them and will enter the info if they correct the problem before I move on to the next state or enter ?'s.

| |

| − | Thank you so much for making that page. His children and their spouses and kids are all the people in my photo from 1919. I'm going to have to mail a copy of it and the key to you. I don't have a way to digitize it right now. Just let me know how to do that. I can't wait for you to see the picture.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Hi Robert,
| |
| − | I have another Whitney cemetery mystery that I was wondering if you might be able to help me with. I have a copy of all the Whitney inscriptions at Common Street Cemetery in Watertown from "Massachusetts DAR GRC report; sl v048: gravestone inscriptions, Village Cemetery, Watertown, MA/Watertown Chapter." The inscription reade "Simmons Simon Whitney, son of James and Sally Whitney. Died 29 Sept. 1817; aet. 2 y. 2m." Any idea which family he might belong to?

| − | Follow up: It makes much more sense that his name is Simon Whitney Simmons. Thank you for your insight. I wonder if there were other children between James and Sally's last known child and Simon. Simon and Mary (Ruggles) Whitney are also buried in this cemetery, but I haven't found other graves for this family. I plan to visit this cemetery soon to research further. I am still searching for my elusive Jonathan and Abigail (Hammond) Whitney!

| |
| − | | |
| − | Hello,
| |
| − | | |
| − | I noticed as I was trolling through the site that you had asked about Ephraim Bennett Whitney 1812-c.1880. He is my 2nd G g-father. If you have not seen it, I created a page for him which I can trace to my mother Margaret Ruth Whitney 1943-2007. If this pg., which I guessed at the formatting, is incorrect, please feel free to correct it.

| − | | |
| − | I have nothing material of my Whitney family as my mother's final husband banned her children from the home and funeral and took everything. Everything portable was given away or went to the dump. He did this out of spite.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A cousin discovered me and she is here on this site, too. Her name is Angie. We are both stumped and stonewalled at this point.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thanks so much for all your hard work.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Robert,
| |
| − | | |
| − | I am in the process of creating family pages for [[Family:Whitney, Luke S. (c1824-1864)|Luke S. Whitney]] and his descendents. I believe he is the unknown son of [[Family:Whitney, Jacob (1790-1863)|Jacob Whitney]]. The age and birth location align well and Luke's wife's family also lived in Litchfield, MI. That supports the two of them meeting and marrying in Litchfield in lieu of removing to Litchfield. If you agree, I will provide a solid link to Jacob. If not, I will link as a probable.
