Hello Karen,
Great to have contact with our Whitney branch.
As far as your family from Esther, I had looked at the wrong generation. Dr.
Elisha had an Aunt and a sister named Esther.
RE Woodburn and Whitney connections. They must have been close friends of
the Whitneys in Stockbridge Mass and in Wysox PA. In Elisha Whitney/Esther
Clarks family, there were 4 marriages to Woodburns. My reference had to do
with our neighbors in Illinois who were related to Woodburn and Marston
families that were related to the PA families, before they moved to Illinois.
My information is also not electronic yet and I have about 6" of family
sheets on the Whitneys.
Yes, lets keep in touch.
By the way, have you found much on Ester Clark's family? I am at a dead end.
