Thomas Whitney of Boughrood, Radnorshire, Wales, parentage unknown, died after 29 May 1589, the date of his will, and before 18 Aug 1589, when it was proved. In that will he mentions a certain Thomas ap John Whittney, who seemingly would be a relative, but whose identity is unknown. Because he named a son Watkin, he may have been related to Watkin Whitney (s1495-?).
He married Mary (-----) Duppa, widow of James Duppa. She had by her first husband Mary, John, James, Blanche, and Katherine Duppa.
The will of Margery, late wife of Thomas Whittney, Gent., of Boughrood, was probated in 1636.
