Does anyone have any information on Henry Mason WHITNEY?
He was born 20 Nov 1850 in Alexander, Maine to Margaret Hall BOHANON and
Henry Payson WHITNEY.

The family came to Minnesota in about 1872 and Henry did not come with his
parents and sisters. The family rumor was that there was some sort of
falling out as he never visited nor is anyone aware of any communication.
His sister Julia Ardelle named her first son Henry supposedly after her
brother. There is no information beyond his birthdate in the book " Family
Records of Early Inhabitants of Alexander, ME" compiled by Ellen & Harold
Fenlason according to a Bohanon relative who has the book.

Henry may have remained in the Alexander, Maine area although the family had
done some other moving around prior to coming to Minnesota.

Does anyone connect to Henry Mason Whitney?
