WRG,
Has anyone researched the following two Whitney Freewill Baptist ministers, in particular, William Whitney and his parentage? If this is your line or have any further details on these men, I would like to compare findings.
Regards,

*Whitney, Rev. William E., a native of Penfield, N. Y., died at Leslie, Mich., Sept. 17, 1883, aged 71 years. He was converted in 1832, moved to Canada in

1834, commenced to preach in 1844, and was ordained in 1846. He went to Michigan in 1849 and labored with various churches there. He served as a soldier

in the early part of the Civil War and re-enlisted in 1864. He lost a limb, but on his return resumed the work of the ministry and was a faithful soldier

of the Lord.



*Whitney, Rev. A. L., of Holton, Mich., son of William and Elizabeth (Howard) Whitney, was born in Genesee County, N. Y., in 1831. He was married to Mary

A. Hagar in 1855, and now has two children. His conversion took place in 1877. Two years later he received license to preach, and in 1884 he was ordained.

He has ministered to the Hazel Grove church of the Holton and White River Q. M., Michigan, and now also to the Maple Grove church recently organized by

himself.
