Yes, we are interested. Please leave out anyone now living, and send it in
GEDCOM format. If your family connects to John-1 and Elinor (-----) WHITNEY,
send it to Jon Aston <>. If it connects to Henry-1 and -----
(-----) WHITNEY, or if it is unconnected, send it to Jeanne Muse
<>.

I am also interested in the family of Joshua and Esther (CLARK) WHITNEY. I
found a marriage for Joshua WHITNEY and *Eunice* CLARK 21 May 1798 in the
Granville, MA, vital records, but no indication of his parentage or their
children.
