Dear WRG:

Again, I think I may have found a transcription error in the Harvard VR's.
Simon and Olive/Olivea (WETHERBEE) Whitney have had a number of children
listed in this source, all born at intervals between 1746 and 1767, with a gap
between 1761 and 1767. There is, however, a listing for a Lucy Whitney, d. of
Simon and Olivea, with a birthdate given as 7 Oct 1705, and this is also how
it appears in Robert Ward's listings and in his Index. I am virtually sure
that this was a mistranscription for 1765, and this is further indicated by
the death of a Lucy Whitney, d. of Simon and Olive, on 19 Oct 1765, just 12
days later.

and would appreciate anyone who owns the Harvard VR book itself, of Xeroxed
Whitney pages for the same to check this one for me.

Thanx

Allan E. Green
