I need help! I have a James Whitney born 1791 in MA. I know that is
not alot, but it is all that I have at this time. He was suppose to
have married a Hannah Bruce. And, by 1815 they had moved to Vermont,
where their son John Franklin Whitney was born in that year. John F.
married a Sarah Nokes, and by 1837 they were living in NY. And, by 1850
they had all moved to Illinois. I have the names of the children. But,
no information on counties in Mass., Vt, or NY.

Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to determine where in MA, James was
born and who his parents were? This is my husband's family, and I have
just started working on it a while ago.

I thank you for any suggestions and help you may be able to offer.
Bertha
