5. New "Corrections" Web Page [1]
Dear WRG Colleagues, At the suggestion of Jeanne Muse, I have created a new web page. On it are four corrections to erroneous published sources concerning the WHITNEY family. They are: Benjamin WHITNEY, Jr., d. 1713, Watertown Samuel WHITNEY, m. 1722, Stratford, Ann LABOREE Benjamin WHITNEY, d. 1736, Watertown Henry WHITNEY, m. 1769, Watertown, Hannah TOMBS See the following URL: Hopefully these errors will not be propagated any further.
6. Bibliography of Whitney Family Sources [1]
Dear WRG, I have just posted to my website a bibliography of about 300 sources which contain genealogical information about the Whitney family. Almost all pertain to New England, and the majority to the family of John and Elinor (-----) WHITNEY of Watertown, MA. See the URL for details. Anyone who knows of a source not included which contains such data, Please send a bibliographical citation to it, and I will add it to the page. Anyone who can amplify any
7. Hiatus [1]
Friends, I have not been able to answer e-mail messages for about 2 weeks, and I'm not sure when I will be able to resume. My mother passed away on the 30th of July, so I had to travel to Florida, and now I am very busy dealing with her effects and the arrangements surrounding that event. In addition, we are remodeling. In addition, we are about to have several out-of-town guests. This is on top of all the usual tasks that fall to someone with a family, a house, and a full-time job. My mother was, in
8. Whitney Vital Records Extraction Program [1]
Dear WRG: Peg Sanborn and a cast of thousands (:-]) have put in yeoman service extracting and compiling the Whitney entries from most of the published vital records from Massachusetts. They are due sincere thanks from all of us. She is continuing with occasional towns in Maine. There are several published vital record books for Massachusetts from which we have not abstracted the Whitney entries yet. Anyone with access to any of the following are urged to help out, so that we can make more complete our
9. New info from Sutro - Benj. Whitney 1687-1737 [0.975843]
Dear WRG: Here is the descent from Benjamin Whitney and his first wife. Previously we had only the line from his third child, David Whitney. I have deleted that line from this descendancy chart, as well as all of the descent from the second wife, Abigail Bridge, because they both have previously been a part of Witney11 and Witney12. As much of this material as possible I have confirmed from the VR sources we all have. The remainder comes from a typescript "book" that I found in the Sutro Library in San

The following showed up on another mail list I subscribe to. It's probably "old hat" to most of you but may be new to some. from "Planters of the Commonwealth, A Study of the Emigrants and Emigration in Colonial Times: to which are added Lists of Passengers to Boston and to the Bay Colony; the Ships which brought them; their English Homes, and the Places of the Settlement in Massachusetts 1620-1640", by Charles Edward Banks, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1984 (original 1930): 1635 [Pages
13. Re: MacUser- [0.975843]
Dear Larry: Oh, no - you don't get me in the middle on that one!!! I only said that one person on the list, using a Mac, was having problems with staying connected to Robert Ward's Web Site, and was told by another Mac-user on the Whitney list that her problem was caused by a flaw in the operating system that was being fixed with the advent of System 8. I know not of MacIntosh except that they make great pies - very tasty with a nice slab of sharp cheddar! I also remember one person complaining mildly t
14. More CT Whitneys1687-1808 [0.975843]
Today, in my local library, (Stamford, CT) I found "The History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield". P. 1040 starts a line of Whitneys with : Richard, s. of John, (Vol I, p. 688) [which I forgot to copy!] b. Apr. 18, 1687, m. (rec. Norwalk) 17 Apr. Hannah Darling, dau. of John, b. abt. 1689, d. at Greenfield, 20 Oct. 1774, ae. 85. He built a mill at Sasco River, but by 1714 settled in Stratford. Children, two recorded at Norwalk, one Stratford, one Stratfield; Elijah, b. 16 Apr. 1710, d. a

16. For all you VT Whitneys [0.975843]
Dear WRG: Some time ago I was sent some printouts of the Vermont Census index data on the Whitney's. I've come upon it again recently, and thought I would take the time to put it in electronic form so that everyone in the WRG could have it. I'll be sharing it with you over the next few days.

17. More on Samuel/Ann [0.975843]
The Fairfield History also mentions Richard, (b. Norwalk 1687, N.VR) m. Hannah Darling (ibid) daughter of John Darling, b. abt. 1689, d. at Greenfield, 20 October, 1774, ae. 85. "He built a mill at Sasco River, but by 1714 had settled in Stratford" Then gives his children, two at Norwalk, one Stratford, one Stratfield. My point is this: He was the brother of the alleged Samuel (John, Henry), he was a miller, as was his father, AND, his wife, from Norwalk, died at Greenfield, which is where his son (anot
18. Maine Census Indexes [0.975843]
Dear WRG's, I have the Maine Census Indexes of Whitneys, for the years 1830, 1840,and 1850. I also have New Hampshire's for 1830 as the two states are mixed together. Because of the very small print, I find the task of typing them daunting. Is there anyone of you who would scan them for the group, if I snail mailed them to you? I may have to preface them with a county guide, especially for the 1830's. Next, I have a list of Whitney Marriages printed in the "Maine Farmer" in the mid 1800's. T

Jan. 29, 1679 Elizabeth Lawrence, b. Feb. 30, 1659; d. in Bolton Feb. 8, 1741. He resided in Watertown, Stow and Lancaster, in that part incorporated later as Bolton. He bought 11 1/2 acres in Cambridge of A. Rowse, Mar. 10, 1679. Witness Geo. Laurence, his father-in-law. In Feb. 1681, Geo. and Elizabeth Laurence gave to son and dau.

23. Samuel & Anne Laboree resolved [0.975843]
This Samuel Whitney & Anne Laboree debate is what it's all about! I love seeing everyone get involved in a discussion & providing proof to resolve a question. It can get really exciting ... this "genealogy stuff"! My notes section under John Whitney and Elizabeth Smith will reflect our findings so that future researchers will not "copy mistakes" made by others in the past. Thanks to everyone for resolving this issue! ;-) Jeanne
24. Abigail Adams & Aaron Parker [0.975843]
Dear Vickie and cousins, I live in Westford, so this wasn't hard to research for you! Here's what I found:No marriage for Abigail to either Aaron Parker or Jacob Wright in either Chelmsford or Westford.(Westford broke off from Chelmsford,date I'm not sure of right now) But I did find the following children born to Aaron and Abigail Parker listed in Chelmsford: Abigail, b. 17 Oct.1720 Aron[sp] b. 19 Aug. 1713[parents as Aron & Abigall] also listed in Westford records Elizabeth, baptized 14 July, 1728.
25. Re: Whitney for the Mac [0.975843]
Dear WRG: I passed along a question about a problem one of our new members was having with using her Mac to access Robert Ward's website. Since that time a number of people have sent me messages with suggestions of how to use Macs for various genealogical purposes and correct problems with using the WWW and other "connectability" concerns. I don't use a Mac. In all of these cases, I appreciate the willing helpfulness of our members, but would like to suggest that each and every one of you who use a Mac
