I see on our Whitney Research Group Lineages Page that Joseph WHITNEY who
married Abigail TOWNES has the following lineage:

John-1 WHITNEY, m.(1) Elinor -----
..John-2 WHITNEY, m. Ruth REYNOLDS
....Nathaniel-3 WHITNEY, m.(1) Sarah HAGAR
......William-4 WHITNEY, m. Martha PEIRCE
........Samuel-5 WHITNEY, m. Abigail FLETCHER
..........Elisha-6 WHITNEY, m. Eunice SEAVER
............Joseph-7 WHITNEY, m. Abigail TOWNES
..............Josephus-8 WHITNEY, m. Lucy WARD

The URL is <http://www.whitneygen.org/families/lineages.html#182>;. Jeff
Wheatley is a descendant, and at last report he could be contacted at
<>. Joseph-7 WHITNEY was born 22 Feb 1784 in
Westminster, MA, according to the vital records, but 1785 may be correct.

Apparently the family lived for at least a while in Peru, VT, then moved
to Lorain Co., Ohio.

We seem to be multiply related, since I descend from Nathaniel-3 WHITNEY
above, and am cousin to Martha PEIRCE, Abigail FLETCHER, Eunice SEAVER,
and Abigail TOWNES!

Robert
