He married,
Phoenix says the following:
- Jeremiah Whitney, a farmer; married Sarah Lee, who died 25 Dec. 1809; married (2d) Sarah Irena Stephens. It is said that he lived east of Carmel, N.Y., while others report his place of residence as Frederickstown, N.Y. Both traditions may, however, refer to the same place, as Carmel, Kent, Patterson and Southeast were all formed from the old Frederickstown, 7 March 1788.1 It is also said that he lived in Fishkill, N.Y.; he certainly dwelt in its vicinity, possibly in Kent or Patterson. He died, and was buried, in Dutchess Co., N.Y.; but the position of his grave is unknown to his descendants.
