[This marks the end of the article on p. 498. I have tried to proofread this
to catch any typos, but have probably missed some. Please contact me with
any that you might catch or any date or fact that you might question, and I
will recheck the photocopied pages to ensure that I did actually copy
correctly what was printed.

This Whitney biography and genealogy was printed in Volume Six. There are
also numerous Whitney references in all of the seven volumes, most being the
marriage of a Whitney woman into another family that is being featured. I
did not photocopy these pages, but took notes, which I will begin
transcribing soon for inclusion. In doing so, I will provide some minimal
lineage of the family featured, and could, upon request, provide the full
article for anyone descended from such a marriage. AEG]
