Dear Sherill and Allan,
I am sure interested in finding more about this Russell Whitney who married a
Polly Lamb in 1814. That fits very close to whom I believe to be my Great
Great Grandmother Polly Whitney. I note that Polly Lamb was married in 1814.
My Daniel James was born somewhere in New York about 1833. Of course, this is
19 years after she was married, but people in those days had so many children
that it could be possible. My Great Great Grandfather and Grandmother, Lyman
Flint and Huldah Lewis Flint had 20 Children when the father Lyman, was only
56.
If anyone has any info further on Polly Lamb and Russell Whitney, would sure
like to have it, as I have been stuck on the parentage of my G. Grandfather
Daniel James for three years, with the only clue being the 1850 Census in
Irioquois County Illinois, showing Polly Whitney and her children, the oldest
of which was undoubtedly, my Great Grandfather, Daniel James Whitney.
If this connection can be proved, I can furnish a lot of informtion on down
the line through Daniel James, all the way to myself, with proof. Thanks.
