Hi.

Here I am again with a repeat query, but with added information.

Been searching for my wifes ggrandfather, without success, for years.

He is DARIUS THOMAS WHITNEY.

We know he was b in New York about 1835..but thats all we knew.
Recently we have gotten assistance from the 1880 census, which says, in
part:

Census Place: Tipton, Cass, Nebraska

Page 291A
Relation Sex Marr Race Age
Birthplace
Darius T. WHITNEY Self M M W
45 NY
Occ: Farmer Fa: ME Mo: CT

The underlined portions are new to us. We didn't know his father came
from Maine
and his mother from Connecticut.

Additionally, and this is the giveaway that it is him, are the first
wife and children, as follows:

Catherine WHITNEY Wife F M W 39
OH
Occ: Keeping House Fa: VA Mo: OH
William WHITNEY Son M S W 15
IA
Occ: Works On Farm Fa: NY Mo: OH
Jessie WHITNEY Dau F S W 3
NE
Fa: NY Mo: OH
Minnie WHITNEY Dau F S W 11M
NE
Fa: NY Mo: OH

Does this information strike a bell with any of you out there?

By the way. He and his last wife (Mary E Glidden)are buried in
Evergreen Cemetery,
Colorado Springs, Co.

Thanks for any help.
