Yes, Karen, the children of James Davis and Hannah (PUGH) WHITNEY are covered in Phoenix's "The Whitney Family of Connecticut", New York: Privately Printed 1878; Vol 2, pp1066-67, and their 12 children were:

Born in Kirkersville, Ohio:
1. Mary Whitney, b. 5 Aug. 1836
2. Jonathan Whitney, b. 9 March 1838
3. Henry Whitney, b. 9 April 1840
4. Leander Whitney, b. 10 May 1842
Born in Bloomfield, Ohio:
5. Lucy Grumman Whitney, b. 21 Feb. 1844
6. Reason Whitney, b. 1 Dec 1845
7. Jeremiah Whitney, b. 28 Sept. 1847
8. William James Whitney, b. 13 Dec 1849
9. Thomas Jefferson Whitney, b. 18 Oct 1851
10 Gifford Whitney, b. 11 May 1854
11. Ashford Whitney, b. 18 Aug 1856
12. Alford Whitney, b. 4 Jun 1858

NOTE that there is no child listed named Ann born 27 Nov 1843. Ann's birth, as it is recorded on the Family Group you provided, is too close to Child No. 5 (Lucy G.) to have been born to this couple (unless of course either Ann's or Lucy's birth date is found to be incorrect.)

Here is what is written about their son Jonathan.

6560 Jonathan WHITNEY, b. in Kirkersville, Ohio, 9 March 1838; a farmer; married in Harrison, Ohio, 27 March 1863, Leaphia Ann MOORE, dau. of James and Happy (CORNELL) MOORE, of Harrison, formerly of Pleasant township, Ohio, where she was born. They lived at Harrison, near Bellefontaine post-office, till 1873; and then settled at Dawn, Mo.

Children of Jonathan and Leaphia Ann (MOORE) WHITNEY (from Phoenix Vol. 3 p1933) were (all born in Harrison, Ohio):
1. James Henry Whitney, b. 20 Jan 1864
2. Reason Oscar Whitney, b. 20 Oct 1866
3. William Edward Whitney, b. 9 Apr 1869
4. Jonathan Isaac Whitney, b. 8 Jul 1871

If you have any more information on any of these families, please send it to me so I can include it in our next database update. I will add what is included in Phoenix also.
