Hello WRG: Michael Maynard <> has sent me his line of
descent, and I have today imported his full gedcom into our HENRY WHITNEY of
Connecticut database. Michael's gedcom added 248 individuals and 56
marriages -- descendants of ELIZABETH WHITNEY and MILES RIGGS. This
information will be posted in the future update of the gedcom. In the
meantime, should anyone need any information on the WHITNEY/RIGGS
descendants, let me know.

ELIZABETH-4 WHITNEY (Joseph-3, John-2, Henry-1) who was born 1717 and died
Aug 1815. Elizabeth married, as her first husband, MILES RIGGS, son of
Joseph Riggs, on 26 Jun 1735. Miles Riggs was born 7 Jun 1697 and died 24
Dec 1753. They had 9 children.

One of their 9 children was already in our database: ESTHER RIGGS (b. Nov
1752; d. 7 May 1816) married ABRAHAM ROCKWELL (b. 5 Oct 1749; d. 7 Aug
1818). Abraham Rockwell also descends from Henry Whitney. His
grandmother, Elizabeth-3 Whitney married Joseph Keeler. His line is thus:
Abraham, Elizabeth Keeler, Joseph Keeler and Elizabeth-3 Whitney, John-2
Whitney and Elizabeth Smith, Henry-1 Whitney.
