'''<u>Beginning here is the information from Jim Whitney, mentioned on page 23, July '96 issue:</u>'''

Dear Lisa:
Thanks for sending the <u>Whitney News and Genealogy</u> so quickly. Reading it
has been enjoyable and informative.

I am enclosing pedigree charts, a descendant chart, family group sheets,
and a newspaper article that you might find interesting. Unfortunately,
my great aunt, in whose belongings I found the article, had neglected to
note the date or the paper that it was printed in. It relates to the '''J.G.
Whitney''' that you mention on p. 8 of the July newlsetter. The text has also
been entered in a more abbreviated form in the family group sheet for '''Giles
E. Whitney'''. Now this might be a bit confusing (I know it is for me), but
the Pierce genealogy, which has the source of most of my database, seems to
have gotten Irving Giles name entered incorrectly. It is my conclusion,
based on the wedding to Adaline '''Davis''', that '''J. G. Whitney''' (in the July news-
letter), '''Giles E. Whitney''' (in the Pierce genealogy and my database) and
'''Irving G. Whitney''' (in the newspaper clipping) are really the same person.
If I had to make a guess as to his real name, I think I would go with the
name Irving G.

The family group sheet for '''Andrew Clow Whitney''' and Mary '''Todd''', is enclosed
and is mentioned on p.8 of the July issue. He is my great-grandfather. I
thought you might be interested in some of the family detail. This leads
to the first of my inquiries. I have not been able to trace the ancestry
of Mary Gardner '''Todd''', Andrew Clow's wife. I have a fair amount of informa-
tion on the '''Todd''''s (the family Bible and other genealogical information)
but would be very interested in the '''Gardner''' side of the family.

Also enclosed is a family group sheet for my grandfather '''Andrew Melvin
Whitney'''. You mentioned him in the quotes from the <u>History of Kossuth Co.</u>
(Iowa). He was the son of '''Andrew Clow Whitney'''.

The descendant chart shows the '''Whitney''' family descended from the '''John Whit-
ney''' who arrived in the Boston area about 1635. Much of the actual '''Whitney'''
lineage in these charts is taken from Pierce's genealogy. The associated
lines are mostly my own research. I can provide family group charts for
many of the families that you see in the descendant and pedigree charts.
Of course these provide another level of detail, describing the siblings and
other family details, including some text notes describing the individuals.
I can send those family group charts later if you want.

I am interested in the '''Whitney''' and '''Todd''' families in Iowa and would also
be interested in knowing your connection with the '''Whitney''' name/family.
'''Jim Whitney''', 2410 Prairie Rd, Madison, Wisconsin, 53711
                  ******************************************
     '''Jim''': I always <u>appreciate</u> information sent in for the newsletters!
     and I'm sure the other readers will benefit from your charts and
     other items! Thanks!
     As for J. G., Giles E., and Irving G., possibly being the same per-
     son, let's just wait a bit on that as I <u>will</u> be researching <u>more</u>
     <u>Iowa records</u> and the "problem" may straighten itself out. However,
     if it doesn't, I will certainly research <u>specific</u> records here in
     Iowa, to try to help untangle who-is-who.
     On the names <u>Todd</u> and <u>Gardner</u>, I have another newsletter starting
     January 1997, called '''THE MELTING POT OF ANCESTORS''' and is for <u>any</u>
     surname and <u>any</u> location. Queries are <u>free to everyone</u>,
                                           (continued next page)
                                      (6)</p>

<p class="Plaintext">
     whether they subscribe <u>or not</u>. I'd beglad to print your queries on the two
     names if you'd like. Let me know soon, as April issue is filled and July's
     is partly filled. (This offer is open to all my readers).
     On my connection to Whitney, my great-grandmother was a Whitney. I thought
     they had come from Illinois, but I've found that their son (my grandfather)
     was born in Iowa. I also have not found what early ancestor I descend from.
     When I have something more definite to offer, then I'll print it for every
     one. I don't know a lot about my own family as I was raised in foster homes
     and Children's Homes during the 1940's.
     Your information in this issue may bring some additonal information to you.
     After you know what results from this issue, let me know what you still need
     or want printed, or what you still need me to help research for you.
     On the other family group charts you mentioned, the more I have in my files,
     the more I am able to help the compiler as I write '''every surname''' in my re-
     cords, and I pass compilers names on to other people who order things from
     me, or who send for researcher names from me....Lisa

 '''HUSBAND NOTES: Giles E. Whitney'''
 Giles and Andrew came to Alden in 1857. Giles made three trips
 to the Rocky Mountains during the time that gold was being found
 there. In the spring of 1860 he made his first tour of inspection
 of Pikes Peak, accompanied by Messrs Sibley and Thompson, and John
 W. Kinney, father of Chris and Clark Kinney of Buckeye. Council
 Bluffs was the outfitting point at that time, and Julesberg was
 the place of disappointment for many. He once saw two
 partners divide there, one turning back. They even sawed the
 wagon in half, each taking a set of wheels. The first trip was
 disastrous. He returned and spent thewinter at the 'American
 House' in Alden, then under the management of M J Davis, returned
 to Colorado in the spring and stayed for a year and a half. The
 third trip the Alden party joined up with the Bozeman train and
 continued to Virginia City. He returned to Alden in 1865
 and married Adaline Davis, daughter of M J Davis. They had moved
 to Alden in 1857 from Michigan.

 <u>RIGHT</u>: Story on Irving G. Whitney:A'''
 <font size=-1>  For more of its earliest settlers Alden was, for many years, a sort of
 base of supplies from which they could strike at the newer and still
 more wonderful Far We4st--the West of gold and buffaloes, of war-
 painted Indians and alkaline deserts. Crossing the plains was a
 hazard which hardy young men took with full knowledge that others,
 as brave and strong as themselves, had undertaken at the cost of their
 lives. But this furnished no hindrance. It rather added a new allure-
 ment to the vision of golden gulches where, if once found, the yellow
 nuggets could be had for the picking up.
   Irving G. Whitney was one of these. He made three trips into the
 Rockies, crossing the plains six times inside of six years. He was born
 March 4, 1836 in Franklin county, Vermont and arrived in Alden with
 his brother Andrew in June, 1857. The two worked together at the
 carpenter trade for one and a half years. In the spring of 1860 he
 started on his first tour of inspection of Pike's Peak, the land of en-
 chantment. He was accompanied by Messrs. Sibley and Thompson
 and John W. Kinney, father of Chris and Clark Kinney of Buckeye.
 Council Bluffs was the out-fitting point at that time and from there
 pilgrims continued the journey in large trains for the purpose of mutual
 protection from Indians. Notwithstanding this, raids were frequent
 and rude headboards were frequently seen beside the trail marked
 "Unknown. Killed by Indians." Julesberg was a point of discour-
 agement where many turned back for the states again. At Julesberg
 Mr. Whitney saw two partners divide, one going west and one east.
 They even sawed the wagon reach in two, each taking a pair of wheels.
 This first trip was disastrous. He worked two weeks and laid up $40.
 Mountain fever struck him then and he lay for eight weeks more dead
 than alive. He gave the $40 to the doctor who saved his life and his
 watch ot a man for letting him ride back to Iowa in the hind end of
 his freight wagon. A buffalo was killed the second day's travel this
 side of Denver and furnished food for much of the way home.
   Mr. Whitney spent the winter at the "American House" in Alden,
 then under the management of M. J. Davis, and was back in Colorado
 the next spring. He remained there a year and a half. Happening
 to meet Gurley and Martin Pritchard, he came home with them.
   In the spring of 1864 he started west again, this time in company
 with Howell, Perl and Frank Sperry, Orra and Geo. Bigelow, Ira
 Sheldon, Fred Schlegmilch and Wm. Loopold. They took ox teams
 and carried, as a part of their cargo, eggs bought at three cents a
 dozen and afterwards sold at seventy-five. The party joined the
 Bozeman train of 125 wagons and continued with it to Virginia City,
 Montana. The next train following them, a few days later, had
 twelve horses and four men killed a few days before reaching destina-
 tion and Bozeman and his party were wiped out by Blackfeet on the
 return trip.
   Mr. Whitney returned to Alden in December 1865 and on April 15,
 1866, was united in marriage to Miss Adaline, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
 M. J. Davis, who became residents of Alden in October 1857. The
 Davis family came from Michigan and settled first in Blemond in the
 spring of 1857. All the children, except the youngest daughter,
 Hattie McMichaelis, were born in Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney's
 first home, built by themselves, is now the north part of the Cousins'
 home. Most of their married life has been spent on the farm west of
 town, where their family of nine children grew to manhood and
 womanhood.

                                            '''<u>UPDATES</u>''' (from Oct 1996 issue)

1) On the Windsor Co. Vermont census, and the York Co. Maine census, I have not
   found any whitney's '''yet''', I've scanned the whole films. However, the films are of
   poor quality, and '''hard''' to decipher in some places. I'm going to go through them
   again, and spend extra time trying to make out some of the names,..Lisa

2) To '''Jerry Forman''', 1508 Westview Dr., Berkeley, CA. 94705-1657; As of this time I
   have sent out 39 letters of inquiry to Whitney's and Forman's in the Ithaca, Buffalo
   area, in relation to finding living descendants of your ancestors, and so far, I
   received only 4 replies. I mailed out 39 postal cards for each person to send me
   a brief reply, and as said, 4 cards have been returned out of 39. I also received
   6 of the 39 letters back that I had sent out, with the reason marked nof non-deliv-
   ery. Some of them have forwarding addresses on the front which I haven't persued
   as of this date. I am enclosing the returned cards and letter-envelopes in with
   your copy of the newsletter, so that you may persue any of these as you see fit.
   I am now in the process of looking for possible connections to your line in the
   other areas/states that you mentioned...Lisa

3) For '''Kenneth L. Whitney'''; I have not found anything yet on Myra Whitney Reed, but
   I will continue to look - on this problem, and will let you know again, in April's
   issue...Lisa

4) To '''JoAnn Schiefelbein''', 8924 West 10th St., Wichita, KS., 67212: I tried to re-read
   the census film I have for Medway, MA. 1790, but still couldn't find anything that
   was different,..I'm going to order the census in printed form, and that should be
   of help in finding anynames on the film (and other information on the film)..Lisa

5) The books on Whitney by Phoenix and by Melville have arrived, but the other book
   and records listed page 10 of Oct 96 issue have not come yet. I did call Salem, MA
   to the Higginson Book Company, about these records, in middle December, and I was
   told that my order should be arriving soon. I've waited a few extra days into Jan.,
   to finish and mail January's issue of the newsletter, in hopes that I might have
   some information for some of you, <u>from</u> those records, but I'll have to just wait
   to check them for April's issue. It has been over 3 months since I ordered them,
   but I was told that "hard-bound" books take that long and sometimes longer..Lisa

6) To '''R. W. Dorsey''', 5925 W. 78th St., Prairie Village, KS., 66208: I said I'd have
   the records "sorted out" by January's issue,...but I was wrong! It takes a lot
   longer to do than I thought! So in April's issue, I will print '''everything''' I have
   in my files on '''any''' Lydia Whitney, and can then see better if some of it fits into
   your lines. (It takes me longer in checking records, as I do all my records by my
   hand, and do not have a computer to help sort them out)...Lisa

7) To '''Frances Molsberry''', 7921 Waterfalls Ave., Las Vegas, NV., 89128: The book on
   the ancestry of John Whitney has arrive to me,..it is the ancestry of the John
   Whitney of Watertown, MA., there are no Levi's listed in the index. I know this
   isn't your John, and am just clarifying "no Levi[s" in there,..You mentioned "so
   little information on the Levi sons",..In April's issue, I will print every bit
   of information I have on '''any''' "Levi" for you, and hopefully it will help you fill
   in empty spaces on your lines, or will solve the "mystery" on it for you...Lisa

8) Page 20, Oct '96 issue of this newsletter; I mentioned placing an ad in the
   Genealogical Helper, listing the names Castle, cleveland, Everton, Fairbanks,
   Forman, Jeffries, Poor, Prout(y); in efforts to try to reach other researchers
   for you all, on these lines. Not one response came to me! If any do come in,
   I'll let you know...Lisa

                                         |                                 |

                                 of Whitney; nominated              of Watertown,
                                 Knight of the Royal                Puritan Emigrant
                                 Oak by Charles 11
 
 Descendants of John Whitney of Watertown, MA. include: (but are not all of them):
                     1) Revolution hero Josiah Whitney, of Harvard, MA.
                     2) Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin.
                     3) Josiah Dwight Whitney, geologist/author.
                     4) William Dwight Whitney, philologist.
                     5) James Scollay Whitney and his distinguished sons
                        Henry Melville Whitney, of Boston, and William
                        Collins Whitney, of NY.
 
 The book on the ancestry of John Whitney says that Whitneys of today can claim the blood
 of familiar names in English history; such as by the marriage of Robert Whitney about
 1470 to Constance, the daughter of Baron Audley and granddaughter of the Earl of Kent; and
 of another Robert about 1540, his marriage to Sybil, the daughter of Sir James Basker-
 ville., who connect to the Saxon Kings Alfred the Great and Edmund Ironside; the Norman
 William the Conqueror and Henry 1; the Plantagenets - Henry 11, John, Henry 111, and
 Edward 1; also members of the royal houses of Scotland, France, and Spain, with whom the
 names were allied.
 
 The parish of Whitney is in the County of Hereford, England, on the extreme western bor-
 der adjoining Wales; and is along the river Wye. This river reportedly has had sudden
 and destructive rainfall, to such an extent, that the waters have "carried away" Whitney
 Castle, Whitney Court that succeeded it, the old church with the family monuments, the
 rectory, and entire churchyard have been carried away.
 
 A probable suggestion of the derivative of the name Whitney is from the Anglo-Saxon
 "hwit" (white) and "ey" (water). There is still today, a tract know as "Whitney Wood",
 that is said to be identified with the one referred to in a writ of the seventeenth
 year of Henry 111: "The Sheriff of Hereford was commanded to cause a good breach to be
 made through the woods of Erdelegh, Bromlegh, and Witteneye, so that there may be such
 passage between the city of Hereford and Maud's Castle".
 
 The early owners of the land, before the days of surnames, were known such as Eustace,
 or Baldwin, or Robert of Whitney; in Latin, "of" was "de", and "De Whitney" and also
 "De Wytteneye" were regarded as the family name. Within two or three centuries, an "h"
 came into the name and the "De" was dropped. The present form of whitney has been estab-
 lished for about four centuries.
 
               '''....<u>.THE WHITNEY's OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.</u>....'''
 
 James Whitney is known as the head of the Whitney family in the early sixteenth century,
 and was sometimes improperly call "Sir" James Whitney. His pedigree is reported to be
 proved, and is in the College of Arms, where the original manuscript is. (continued)

                                            continued from previous page''')
 
 James Whitney married Blanche, fourth daughter and co-heir of Simon Milbourne. She
 was a lady of wealth, and had a distinguished lineage, as follows:
 
    "Sir John Eynesford (Eylesford) died leaving an only child, Elizabeth who inherited
 his very considerable estate. Elizabeth married Sir Piers Milbourne, and had an only child
 named John. In 1434 John Milbourne married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Walter Devereux,
 and died, leaving one child, Simon. Elizabeth survived him for many years.
    Simon Milbourne increased his fortune by marrying an heiress, Jane, the only child
 of Ralph, the younger brother of Sir John Baskerville, and died leaving only daughters
 who inherited through both their parents. One of these daughters was Blanche, who was
 married James Whitney".

 * Dear Lisa,..Thanks for your
 * reply to my letter. Regarding
 * the '''WHITNEY''' surname, I have
 * the following information, and I'd
 * be interested in corresponding
 * with anyone who has an interest
 * in these two names because they
 * are connected to the '''REAM''' family:
 * 
 *   1) Neil Otis '''WHITNEY''', married
 *   Nellie Mildred '''REAM''' (born June
 *   1895), 25 June 1917, Clackamas
 *   Co.,Oregon.
 * 
 *   2) Lauretta R. '''WHITNEY''', (born
 *   before 1942, married Teddy
 *   (Theodore ?) G. '''REAMS''', (born
 *   before 1938), before 1958.
 * 
 * Thanks again, and with '''REAM'''
 * family regards,..Grey E. Smith,
 * P.O. Box 6452, Aloha, ORE 97007
 ***********************************
 * I want the newsletter to be one
 * that keeps family events up to
 * date, so if you've had a death,
 * marriage, etc, please let me
 * know so it can be printed!..Lisa
 ***********************************
 *   '''<u>NOTE FROM LISA</u>'''
 * I still have not come onto anyone
 * named Lovet, in researching of
 * the Whitney lines. If there are
 * any "Lovet's" in the records I
 * should be getting soon, then I'll
 * print anything they have on the
 * name! I '''will continue''' to search
 * any S.C. records, (and others),
 * for Lovet '''WHITNEY'''. He has to be
 * there somewhere!...Lisa

 Dear Lisa,..Thank you for your reply to my letter in your last Whitney newsletter. On the
 subject of Benjamin '''WHITNEY''''s wife's maiden name, I remain unconvinced that it was '''POOR'''. I
 have photocopies of two submissionss to the Mormon archive in Salt Lake City which I obtained
 at our local Kensington, MD Mormon Family History Library. They both list Jane's maiden name
 as '''POOR''', but it is difficult to determine from the submission the source of this information.
 The people at the library were unable to help in deciphering the sources. Perhaps a reader
 may be able to decipher the references. They are:
 
      "Whitney Gen. B4F15 p 17,22,22-26 / R5A32 Vol 1, p 330, / Mass. M6A 32b, / A13 A275 p17-34"
 
 As for obtaining G. B. Sedgeley's genealogy of Micah '''WHITNEY''', I am not sure how it can be
 obtained. (Title and publisher listed) We are descendants of Micah '''WHITNEY''', Rev. soldier,
 through his son Ebenezer. This book traces Micah's descendants to 1943, including Ebenezer,
 while Pierce's genealogy stops forour branch at Ebenezer, and I have found many errors so
 you may wantto pass on the importance of checking all references. Thank you for your efforts
 in my behalf. Sincerely, Kenneth L. Whitney, 616 Piping Rock Drive, Silver Spring, Maryland
 20905.
 
 '''KENNETH''': Thank you for the information and the tip on checking references! I checked my
 "Pierce's" but didn't make any connections with the above sources...Lisa
