Dear Mr/Ms "Driver":

I'm sorry to have to tell you that the tale you have been told is just not the
case. If you will go to the World Wide Web, to the Whitney Family Genealogy
Page maintained by Robert Ward of the Whitney Research Group, you will find a
complete and accurate genealogy for Eli Whitney, the inventor of the Cotton
Gin. In addition, you will find several small articles about the invention
and its effect on the economy of the agricultural South.

You can find this article and genealogy information at:

http://www.erols.com/rlward1/whitney/

Look down the list of "pages" on the site, and just below Whitney Queries and
Whitney Biography, you will find a link to a page for Eli-7 Whitney, on which
you will find the material I mentioned above.

If we of the Whitney Research Group can assist you in tracing your Whitney
ancestry, you would be welcome to join us by subscribing to the Whitney
maillist, directions to which are to be found at the top of the Index page for
this website.

Sincerly,

Allan E. Green
