Robert Ward
or anyone else who might help

Not sure which of you to send this to. Afew weeks ago I responded to
Robert's querry as to having any information on Whitney's that may have been
in Wayne, Maine histories. Gave him information on marriage records and
some general on CC Whitney- minister. Well yesterday, while working on
updating Civil War soldiers who enlisted out of Wayne, I ran across the
following. This will fit in with one of the marriages I sent Robert. Now
for our Civil War records--Who were his parents -any idea where he went
after war, or where he is buried???

WHITNEY, Eben B. - enlisted on Dec. 14, 1861, age 26, in Company B of the
15th. Maine Regiment and was discharged Oct. 1864 for disability. His name
only appears in the 1860 Wayne census as head of a household composed of
sister (think this should be wife) Helen, age 18, and younger brother
Joseph, age 15; parents unknown.
There is no graves card nor is he listed in the Regiments Post War Address
Book. Also no listing from Wayne of Joseph enlisting. Marriage took place
in Wayne between Eben B Whitney, lists of Lisbon and Helen L. Hill of
Exeter, 4-26-1860.
