Hello WRG: This morning a message came in from someone researching a LYDIA
WHITNEY. If anyone sees any connections to Sheila's line (or the other
Lydia Whitney who married Moses), please let her know.

Thanks to all!
;-) Jeanne (Whitney) Muse

>Jeanne,
>Hi, Sheila Stratton-Peel here. When I was in my hometown a few months ago,
>I came across a gravestone in the cemetery for Lydia A Whitney, b. 2/3/1777
>Shelburne, MA d. 12/17/1860 in Penn Yan, NY. She was the wife of Moses
>Whitney. I am from the smallest county in New York State, Yates County.
>When I came across this, I was looking for another Lydia A Whitney, My
great
>grandmother. She had been married to my great grandfather Perry B
Stratton,
>who after he passed on she married Charles Whitney. She died 6/8/1910 in
>Penn Yan, NY. He I beleive(Charles) died at the Soldiers Home in Bath, NY
>(Steuben Co.) on 1/23/1916. The article from the Chronicle Express from
>Penn Yan, states" At the Soldiers Home in Bath, NY January 23/1918, Charles
>M Whitney of Penn Yan. Burial in the cemetery at the home. He was a
civil
