Subject: [WHITNEY-L] History -- Sunderland, MA
Date: Tue, 2 Mar 1999 22:56:59 EST


I'm sharing a message from a former 'Whitney List person', Carole MacIntosh.
She says:

"Last night I dug out an old book my sister gave me awhile back. It has a
Whitney in it. Are you still in that group? If so maybe you can pass on what I
have and if anyone is interested they can email me and I'll copy it for them.

"I have a book on the History of Sunderland MA. 1673-1899. Includes Leverett
and Montague when they split off. Someone in the group had "family" in
Montague. Some of my Whitney's lived there too but I could not connect. Not
listed in this book as I think they arrived later.

"I have a genealogy for Whitney, Hamilton Appollos (Appollos, Ebenezer,
Zechariah, Zechariah, Ebenezer, Richard, John).
This Hamilton Whitney is son of Appollos and Charlotte (Hamilton) Whitney.
Descended from John Whitney, who was of Watertown, 1635. Hamilton was born 22
June 1826, in Leverett. Married Julia E., dau of Zebina Smith; lived in the
meadow; d 3 Sept 1884; wife d 23 Dec 1875.

"It lists his children Louise Elvira (she signed the book I have and marked
several pages and made corrections here and there) and Frank Hamilton. I have
very little info on these children.

"Also mentioned are, an unknown Whitney who married a Baker, an Elizabeth,
Frank H., Harriet, Henry M., Isaac, Laura E., Lucinda, Luther, Russell R.,
and William M. All these are Whitneys who married into local families. I can
look them up is anyone is interested.

"If anyone in the group is interested in Sunderland or Leverett or Montague I
can look up the family history."
