Given that their oldest son's name was Benjamin Nichols WHITNEY, I think it is
overwhelmingly likely that she was "Beca", daughter of Benjamin and Rebekah
(-----) NICHOLS whose birth was recorded 1 Apr 1791 in the adjoining town of
Westminster, MA (Ref: Westminster VRs). Apparently her mother's maiden
name was
Rebecca BANCROFT (Ref: LDS International Genealogical Index).
