Marcia,

Your George WHITNEY was George-7 WHITNEY, son of Ephraim-6 and Sarah (WOOD)
WHITNEY [David-5, Nathaniel-4, Nathaniel-3, John-2, John-1], born 22 Feb 1772,
Natick, MA. His intentions of marriage with Miriam HUNT were published at
Medfield, MA, 8 Aug 1795, husband called "of Plainfield". I had no data on
their children, so what you give above is very helpful.

For the vital records quoted above, see
<http://www.erols.com/rlward1/whitney/mass/combined/g.html>;
For the ancestry of George-7, see
<http://www.erols.com/rlward1/whitney/john/john14.html#i572>;
Some of the Barbour Collection abstracts appear at this address:
<http://www.erols.com/rlward1/whitney/conn/bbrindex.html>;
There is found in the Ellington Vital Records, 1:20, several of their children,
whom I had not yet connected with George-7 above.

Can you give data about the TITUS spouses of these two daughters?

Regards,

Robert
