Children of Jonathan6 Whitney:

It is supposed that a school teacher by the name of Whitney, who, with her school, was attacked by Indians in Western Texas a number of years ago, and who lost her life in successfully defending her pupils, was a daughter of Orlando, but could get no positive proof. iii. Prudence Whitney, born 6 Aug 1796. iv. Harriett Whitney, born 20 Jan 1794.
