Subject: Does anyone know Luke Whitney
Date: Sat, 8 Aug 1998 17:59:56 EDT


Dear WRG:

In the Vital Records for Gardner, MA, there is a man named Luke Whitney who
marries Cyntha Partridge on June 30 1806. This suggests that he was born
somewhere around 1780 - 1785. The index to all the MA Vital Records that I
have downloaded and printed from Robert Ward's web site does not provide any
clues to his origin, showing only three Lukes, the earliest born in 1793.
Therefore, I guess that he must have come from one of the other towns not yet
transcribed, or from another state. I checked the CT VR's that appear in the
Barbour Index, and find only one Luke, born in 1850, so that's no help, either

I post this note in the faint hope that some of the members of the WRG who
have lineages in other New England States (or NY) might have some ideas for me
about where this Luke Whitney came from.

Help or suggestions gratefully received.
