Death records of Dorchester, Massachusetts: Dec. 11, 1853, Clotilda E. Fisher, Aged 43, Brush Hill Turnpike, wife of Charles G. Fisher. Born Boston of Elijah and Matilda Whitney. Died of typhoid fever, buried in Watertown. Clotilde Whitney (Dorman) Pitkin owns a cross stitched sampler made by Clotilde Whitney in 1817. Adeline Fisher's bible has the name S.A.G. Whitney embossed on the front cover. The bible was printed in 1844. A slip of paper (possibly part of an envelope) was found among the family correspondance on which was written "Chas. Fisher - Grandmother Whitney." It has been suggested in various online genealogies (but not confirmed by primary documents) that Clotilde's father, Elijah Whitney, was the son of Daniel Whitney and Sarah Gay (Sarah died in 1824, too early to have been the owner of the bible). These same genealogies also suggest that Elijah had a daughter (Clotilde's sister) named Sarah A. Whitney, who died unmarried in 1853 (same year as Clotilde). It seems extremely likely that this was S.A.G[ay]. Whitney, and because this bible has come to us through Clotilde's daughter Adeline, It would also seem to confirm the hypothesis that Clotilde's father Elijah was the same Elijah who was the son of Daniel and Sarah (Gay) Whitney.

Gravestone in the Common Street Cemetery, Watertown, Massachusetts for C. Elizabeth Whitney Fisher, died December 11, 1853 at 46 years of age. I have not seen the stone - only a summary on the website findagrave.com. Census records for the Charles G. Fisher family in Roxbury refer to his wife as Elizabeth.

vi. Sarah A. Whitney, b. ca. 1816, MA; d. 17 Nov 1853, Watertown, MA, of consumption;[16]unmarried.

Note by Robert L. Ward: "There is no direct evidence to include Clotilda as a child in this family. However, in the 1810 census there was one female 10-15 (Mary), and 2 females 0-9 (Margaret and ?). Catherine and Sarah hadn't yet been born. Also, the DAR cemetery transcription for Common Street Cemetery in Watertown lists first Charles Fisher (Clotilda's husband), then Elijah, Margaret and Sarah Whitney, followed by Clotilda, and finally Sarah Hagar (Margaret's daughter). This presents a strong case that Clotilda is a child in this family. "

Note by Caleb Pitkin, 2014: I have further evidence that Clotilde was a member of this family, including the bible in my possession printed in 1844 which is embossed S.A.G. Whitney (Possibly Sarah A. Gay Whitney, born 1816) and the letters written to Adeline Fisher (Clotilde's daughter) which make reference to "Aunt Rowley" (Catherine Whitney Rowley?), and the death record, which names her father as Elijah Whitney (though it also names her mother as Matilda). Parents: Daniel Whitney and Sarah Gay.

Spouse: Margaret Whitney. Margaret Whitney and Elijah Whitney were married on 25 March 1798 in Newton, Massachusetts. An entry and publication of marriage was entered in Newton MA Feb 11, 1798 between Elijah Whitney of Brookline and Margaret Whitney of Newton.

A marriage record in Newton MA. records a marriage between Elijah Whitney of Brookline and Margaret Whitney of Newton on Mar. 25, 1798.

I have no direct evidence that these marriage records apply to the same Elijah and Margaret who were the parents of Clotilde. These records are (as of 11/28/14) the only evidence suggesting Margaret's maiden name was Whitney.

More evidence: The record of this event, as recorded in Brookline, give the same particulars. The Brookline records also include an entry for Daniel Whitney and Sarah Gay (Elijah's parents, both from Brookline), in Jan. 1769, lending weight to this being the right Elijah. Children were: Margaret Ann Whitney, Clotilde Elizabeth Whitney, Catherine A. Whitney, Sarah A Gay Whitney.

Feb. 22, 1607, John Whitney, son of Thomas Whitney of the city of Westminster, yeoman, apprenticed to William Pring of the Old Bailey.
March 13, 1614, John Whitney made free by William Pring, his master.
March 8, 1624, Robert Whitney, son of Thomas Whitney of the city of Westminster, gentleman, apprenticed to John Whitney of Isleworth.
1632, Robert Whitney made free by John Whitney, his master, upon the report of his master.[9]

He left a will dated 3 Apr 1673 at Watertown, MA; John Whitny Senior of Watertown; son John Whitny; son Richard Whitny; son Thomas Whitny; son Jonathan Whitny; son Joshuah Whitny; son Beniamen Whitny; sons John Whitny and Joshuah Whitny, executors; friend William Bond Senior, overseer; witnesses, William Bond senior, Sarah Bond senior; signed by mark. His estate was probated 4 Jun 1673 at Watertown, MA. On that date the inventory of Mr. John Whitnie senior, was taken by Joseph Underwood, William Bond, and Nathan Fiske, Junior, and included 50 acres of dividend land at £25, 3 acres of meadow at Beaver Brook with an acre and a half of upland to it at £20, and 1 acre of plain meadow at £10; household goods; and stock on the farm. On 17 Jun 1673, Watertown, MA, his will proved by William Bond and Sarah his wife, and his inventory was exhibited and attested to.[10]

John and Elinor (-----) Whitney lived between 1619 and 1624 at Isleworth, England, and between 1627 and 1629 at the parish of St. Mary Aldermary, London, England. Apparently they lived in London from 1629 to 1635, when they emigrated to America, but exactly where is unknown.

They emigrated in Apr 1635 from London, England, in the "Elizabeth and Ann," Roger Cooper, master. On the passenger list are John Whitney, aged 35; wife Ellin aged 30; sons John aged 11, Richard aged 9, Nathaniel, aged 8, Thomas aged 6, and Jonathan aged 1 year. Their ship landed in Jun 1635, probably in Boston or Charlestown, MA.[11]

He and Elinor ----- lived between Jun 1635 and 1 Jun 1673 at Watertown, MA, on his 16- or 17-acre homestall situated a little north of Belmont Street and east of Common Street.[12]

John and Elinor Whitney are probably buried in Watertown's "Old Burying Ground", now called the Arlington Street Cemetery. However, if they ever had grave markers, they have long since vanished or eroded, and the exact location of their graves may never be known. This is based upon information from the Watertown historian who stated that this was the active cemetery at that time, and that few burials were performed outside of the cemetery at that time.

In 1855, Henry Bond said of him the following:

"Embarked at Ipswich [corrected to "London"], Engl. Apr., 1635, for New England, in the Elizabeth and Ann, Roger Cooper, master, JOHN WHITNEY, aged 35; wife ELLIN (Elinor), aged 30; sons JOHN, aged 11; RICHARD, aged 9; NATHANIEL, aged 8; THOMAS, aged 6; and JONATHAN, aged 1 year. He was admitted freeman, Mar. 3, 1635-6; was Selectman several years between 1638 and 1655 inclusive, and was Town Clerk, 1655. In 1642, his homestall lot of 16 acres (where he continued to reside), was bounded E. and S. by William Jennison; W. by Martin Underwood; N. by Isaac Mixer. He at the same time owned 8 other lots, amounting to 212 acres. The Registry of Deeds shows that he made additions to these possessions. His early admission as a freeman, and his early election as Selectman, show that he held a respectable social position. His wife, Elinor, d. May 11, 1659, and he m. (2d), Sept. 29, 1659, JUDAH (Judith) CLEMENT. He died a widower, June 1, 1673, aged 74. His Will, dated Ap. 3, 1673, attested by William Bond, Sr., and Sarah Bond, Sr., mentions sons John, Richard, Thomas, Jonathan, Joshua, and Benjamin. Inventory, dated June 4, 1673, 50 acres dividend land, £25; 3 acres of Beaver Brook meadow, and 1½ acre upland, £60; 1 acre plain meadow, £10. He had probably previously distributed much of his estate in the settlement of his sons."[13]

In 1857, Henry Austin Whitney wrote:

"JOHN WHITNEY, of Watertown, Mass., was the progenitor of very numerous descendants, who are to be found probably in every county of New England, and in every State in the Union. He embarked at London in April, 1635, then aged 35, in the Elizabeth and Ann, Roger Cooper, master, with his wife ELINOR, aged 30, and sons JOHN, aged 11 yrs., RICHARD aged 9 yrs., NATHANIEL aged 8 yrs., THOMAS aged 6 yrs., and JONATHAN aged 1 yr. He probably arrived in June, and immediately settled at Watertown, where his son Joshua was born the 15th of July. He purchased a 16-acre homestall, which had been granted to John Strickland, who was dismissed from the Watertown church, May 29, 1635, and was one of that colony from Watertown that went and planted Wethersfield, the oldest town on Connecticut River. This homestead was the permanent residence of Mr. Whitney. In 1668 he requested his youngest son, Benjamin, who had settled in York, Me., to return and live with him on his homestead, with the assurance that it should be his own after his father's decease. In 1671 Benjamin, with his father's consent, conveyed his rights and obligations in this homestead to his brother Joshua, who had settled in Groton, for £40. After the decease of his father Joshua returned to Groton, and on the 29th Oct., 1697, sold this ancient homestead to Dea. Nathan Fiske. It was situated at a little distance north of Belmont street and East of Common street. [See the map of the original allotments in Bond's Early History of Watertown.] "It is stated above that Mr. Whitney purchased his homestall; but before 1642 the Town had granted him nine other lots of land, amounting to 198 acres. The Registry of Deeds, which contains comparatively few of the early conveyances, shows that he made several purchases of land, and it is probable that he had aided all his other sons in their settlemens as he did Jonathan, to whom he gave 39 acres about 1659--and Benjamin to whom he gave the homestead as we have already noticed. Jonathan and Benjamin received these gifts from their father when they were quite young, and it is possible that they shared in some later division of his estate; which may account for the fact, that Mr. Whitney in his will, while he bequeaths parcels of land to all his other sons, merely gives to Jonathan "one iron kitle and a great brass skilet;" to Benjamin "the old mare if she live!" "Mr. Whitney was admitted freeman March 3, 1635-6; appointed Constable* of Watertown by the General Court, June 1, 1641; Selectman 1638 to 1655 inclusive, and Town Clerk, 1655. "His wife ELINOR, the mother of his eight sons, died May 11, 1659, aged 54, and he married, Sept. 29, 1659, JUDAH CLEMENT, who was not living at the date of his will, April 3, 1673. He died June 1, 1673, aged 74. Inventory, dated June 4, 1673; 50 A. Dividend land; 3 A. Beaver Brook meadow, and 1-1/2 A. upland; 1 acre plain meadow, besides his personal property, consisting of household goods and stock on the farm. This shows that he held but a small part of his lands granted and purchased, which had probably been distributed to his sons."[14]

In 1895, Frederick C. Pierce, quoting Henry Melville, said of him the following:

"John [Whitney], in whom we are most interested, probably received, for those days, a good education in the famous "Westminster School," now known as St. Peter's College, and February 22, 1607, at the age of fourteen, was apprenticed by his father to William Pring of the Old Bailey, London. The latter was a "Freeman" of the Merchant Tailors' Company, then the most famous and prosperous of all the great trade guilds, numbering in its membership distinguished men of all professions, many of the nobility and the Prince of Wales, and, on March 13, 1614, Whitney at the age of twenty-one became a full-fledged member. Marrying soon after he took up his residence at Isleworth-on-the-Thames, eight miles from Westminster, and there three children were born, baptized on the following dates: May 23, 1619, Mary; September 14, 1621, John; and January 6, 1623-4, Richard. There, too, November 8, 1624, his father apprenticed to him his youngest brother, Robert, who served seven years. Soon after the latter date he moved from Isleworth, probably back to London. Entries in the registers of the parish of St. Mary Aldermery indicate that he lived there - in "Bowe lanne," near Bow church, where hang the famous bells - for several years, during which time Mary died, and his son Thomas was baptized December 10, 1627. In September, 1631, he placed his eldest child, John, Jr., in the Merchant Tailors school - where, according to the registers, he remained as long as the family were in England - and, early in April, 1635, registered with his wife Elinor and sons John, Richard, Nathaniel, Thomas, and Jonathan as a passenger in the ship 'Elizabeth and Ann, Roger Cooper, Master,' which, a few weeks afterward, completed her lading and set sail for the New World. "Extracts from the books of the Merchant Taylors' Company, of the city of London, England. .... "Feb. 22, 1607, John Whitney, son of Thomas Whitney of the city of Westminster, yeoman, apprenticed to William Pring of the Old Bailey. "March 13, 1614, John Whitney made free by William Pring, his master. .... "March 8, 1624, Robert Whitney, son of Thomas Whitney of the city of Westminster, gentleman, apprenticed to John Whitney of Isleworth. "1632, Robert Whitney made free by John Whitney, his master, upon the report of his master."[17]

Pierce continued as follows:

"John Whitney was born in England in 1589, and dwelt in the Parish of Isleworth-on-the-Thames, opposite Richmond, nine miles from London, from May, 1619, to January, 1623-4. The record "of persons permitted to embark at the port of London after Christmas, 1634," manuscript folio page 35 in Rolls office, Chancery Lane, gives the following names and ages: John Whitney 35, Elinor Whitney 30, John 11, Richard 9, Nathaniel 8, Thomas 6, Jonathan 1. "The record reads as follows: "The Elizabeth and Ann, Roger Cooper Mr., April, 1635. "These p'ties hereunder expressed are to be imbarqued for New England, having taken the oaths of Allegeance and Supremacie and likewise brought Certificate both from the Ministers and Justices when their abidings were latlie, of their conformitie to the Discipline and order of the Church of England, and yet they are no Subsedy Men. Jo. Whitney, 35; Jo. Whitney, 11; Richard Whitney, 9; Nathaniel Whitney, 8; Tho. Whitney, 6; Jonathan Whitney, 1; Ellen Whitney, 30. "The ages of John Whitney and his five sons, as thus given, were all too young. The parish resister of Isleworth contains the following entries: "1621, Sept. 14, John Whitne and Ellin had John their son baptized. "1623-4, Jan. 6, John Whitne and Elinor his wife had their son Richard baptized. "It is suggested that the non-conformity acts might have had some influence in making the ages of the several members of the family younger than they were. "They settled in Watertown, in the Massachusetts colony, in June, 1635, where his son Joshua was born the 15th of July following, he being the first of this line born in America. John Whitney was admitted freeman 3d of March, 1636, and the following year was for the first time elected by his associates as one of the Select Men of the town. He held the office for many years afterward, until 1655, at which time he was elected town clerk. June 1, 1641, he was appointed constable at Watertown by the General Court at their quarter session held in Boston. "At that time constables were appointed by the General Court, and, besides the duties attached to the office in latter times, they were required to collect the taxes of the town and the levies by the General Court; to pay the debts of the colony due to individuals in their respective towns; to supply the town with sealed weights and measures; to set or order in those towns where no captain dwelt, and to inflict the punishments ordered by judicial authority, "where there was not another appointed to do it within his own town, unless he can get another to do it." As a badge of his office a constable was required to carry a black staff five or five and a half feet long, with a tip or head five or six inches long. "His very early admission as a freeman and his election as a Select Man show that he held a respectable social position in the community. "He was grantee of eight lots in Watertown and purchaser of 16 acres, his home-stall lot, where he continued to reside. This latter property was granted to John Strickland,+ and was bounded east and south by William Jennison, west by Martin Underwood, north by Isaac Mixer. His eight lots amounted to 212 acres, to which he subsequently made additions, as shown by the Registry of Deeds. Later the homestall became the property of his son, Joshua, of Groton, who sold it to Dea. Nathan Fiske, Oct. 29, 1697. "The death of John Whitney is registered in the church record of Watertown, 1673, thus: "John Whetny, Widdower, Deceased first of June, aged abought eighty-four years." His wife, Elinor, mother of his eight sons, died in Watertown May 11, 1659, aged about 60 years (though called 54). He married Judah (Judith) Clement, Sept. 29, 1659. "His will, dated April 3, 1673, is as follows: "I John Whitney senior of Watertowne in ye county of midlesexx being perfect and sound in my memory and understanding blessed be god for it: I do declare this to be my last will and testemant In maner and form as followeth "1ly I committ my spirit into ye hands of god yt gave it: and my body unto the earth from whence it was taken: "2ly I give unto my Son John Whitney: my meadow called beeverbrook meadows with yt upland yt doth appertain thereunto: and a yoke of oxen: or nine pounds ten shillings: and ten acres of my land called devedent and a trunke and one pair of sheets and one pair of pillows beers and two pewter dishes a great one and a small one and ye bed whereon I lie with all the furniture thereunto belonging.

WHITNEY, William PAGE, etc, the Court judgeth it meete to referre the peticioners to the retourne of the commissiones appointed to settle the matters in difference betweene them those acts this Court doth approove of and continew, as they are presented to this Court, and are on file."

Pierce goes on to quote Henry Austin Whitney as follows:

"JOHN WHITNEY probably arrived in June, and immediately settled in Watertown, where his son Joshua was born the 15th of July. He purchased a sixteen acre homestall, which had been granted to John STRICKLAND, who was dismissed from the Watertown church May 29, 1635, and was one of that colony from Watertown that went and planted Wethersfield, the oldest town on Connecticut river. This homestead was the permanent residence of Mr. WHITNEY. In 1668 he requested his youngest son, Benjamin, who had settled in York, Me, to return and live with him on his homestead, with the assurance that it should be his own after his father's decease. In 1671 Benjamin, with his father's consent, conveyed his rights and obligations in this homestead to his brother Joshua, who had settled in Groton, for £40. After the decease of his father Joshua returned to Groton, and on the 29th October, 1697, sold this ancient homestead to Dea. Nathan FISKE. It was situated at a little distance north of Belmont street and east of Common street. (See the map of the original allotments in BOND's Early History of Watertown.) "It is stated above that mr. WHITNEY purchased his homestall, but before 1642 the town had granted him nine other lots of land, amounting to 198 acres. The Registry of Deeds, which contains comparatively few of the early conveyances, shows that he made several purchases of land, and it is probable that he had aided all his other sons in their settlements as he did Jonathan, to whom he gave 39 acres about 1659-and Benjamin, to whom he gave the homestead as we have already noticed. Jonathan and Benjamin received these gifts from their father when they were quite young, and it is possible that they shared in some later division of his estate, which may account for the fact that Mr. WHITNEY in his will, while he bequeathes parcels of land to all his other sons, merely gives to Jonathan "one iron kitle and a great brass skilet;" to Benjamin, "the old mare if she live." "Mr. WHITNEY was admitted freeman March 3, 1635-6; appointed constable of Watertown by the General Court, June 1, 1641; selectman, 1638 to 1655, inclusive, and town clerk, 1655. "His wife Elinor, the mother of his eight sons, died May 11, 1659, aged 54 [sic: the source for her age at death is unknown--RLW]; and he married Sept. 29, 1659, Judah CLEMENT, who was not living at the date of his will, April 3, 1673. He died June 1, 1673, aged 84. Inventory, dated June 4, 1673: 50 acres dividend land, 3 acres Beaver Brook meadow, and 1 1/2 acres upland; 1 acre plain meadow, besides his personal property, consisting of household goods and stock on the farm. This shows that he then held but a small part of his lands granted and purchased, which had probably been distributed to his sons."[18]

Children of John1 and Elinor (-----) Whitney were as follows:

i. Mary2 Whitney; bapt. 23 May 1619, Isleworth, Middlesex, England;[20] bur. 15 Feb 1626/27, St. Mary Aldermary, London, England.[21]

There were no children of John1 and Judah (-----)(Clement) Whitney Parents: Thomas Whitney and Mary Bray.

Spouse: Elinor (Ellen, Ellin) Bray. Elinor (Ellen, Ellin) Bray and John Whitney were married before 1619 in London England. He married second, 29 Sep 1659, Watertown, MA, Judah (-----) Clement,[7] as her second husband, widow of Robert Clement. Judah ----- was born circa 1595. She married Robert Clement between 1642 and 1657 at Haverhill, MA.[8] She died before 3 Apr 1673, Watertown, MA, since her husband did not mention her in his will. Children were: John Whitney.

He came to New England with his parents and his brothers in the "Elizabeth and Ann," from London, in April 1635. His age was recorded as 11 years, although he was 13.[7]

He and Ruth Reynolds lived in Watertown, MA, from the time of their marriage until his death, on a 3-acre lot on the east side of Lexington Street, on land granted to Edward How, and the next lot south of the residence of the Phillips family, and is probably the same ground occupied in 1855 by his great-great-grandson Bradshaw Whitney. The ground is somewhat elevated, and there is little doubt that it is the "Whitney Hill" sometimes mentioned in the records.[8]

He was admitted freeman on 26 May 1647 at MA.[9]

Ruth (Reynolds) Whitney was mentioned in her father's will on 20 Apr 1658 at Boston, MA, as follows: "... my fowre daughters Children, that is to say, my dau. Ruth Whitney and to her Eldest sonne ..."[10]

He was selectman of Watertown in 1673, 1674, 1675, 1676, 1678, and 1679.[11]

He was mentioned in his father's will on 3 Apr 1673 at Watertown, MA.[12]

The probate of his estate consists of seven documents:

The inventory of his estate was taken 26 Oct 1692 at Watertown, MA, by Elnathan Beers and Thomas Hammond. It embraced 18 lots or parcels of land, amounting to about 210 acres, and prized at £197-15s, including one lot of 17 acres "purchased of father Arnold." On 23 Dec 1692, Ruth Whitney, relict widow of John Whitney late of Watertown, John Whitney, and Benjamin Whitney, as principals, and Munning Sawin and Joseph Whitney of Watertown as sureties, posted administration bond at Watertown; Ruth Whitney made her mark "RW", John Whitney signed, Benjamin Whitney made his mark "B".

On 26 Apr 1695, John Whitney was granted Lot 112, 35 acres, in Woodstock, Connecticut, by the town of Roxbury.[14]

On 14 Jan 1702/3, John and Elizabeth Whitney gave a receipt for a legacy from her father Robert Harris, to be paid two years after his decease.[15]

"The name of John W[hitney] appears in the list of members of the 2d chh. in Roxbury, when gathered by 'ye Rev. Nehemiah Walter, Nov. 2d, 1712,' and, doubtless, he had previously been a member of the first chh. in Roxbury."[16]

On 29 Sep 1715 John Witney was granted Lot 30, 43-3/4 acres, in Woodstock, Connecticut, 2nd division, by the town of Roxbury.[17]

He left a will in Sep 1718, Roxbury, MA; named heirs of daughter Elizabeth, daughter Ruth Adams, son Timothy, and son Daniel; son John and daughter Sarah are not mentioned.[18]

"His houselot, containing nine acres, was situated in that part of Roxbury called Jamaica Plain; and lying on the right as you pass up Pond St. to the south part of Brookline, which town was called Muddy River until the year 1705.

"Whitney's lot extended back from the street, westerly, to the line separating Roxbury from Brookline. The late Major Benjamin Weld of Roxbury, who died in 1852, being then in his 86th year, told me, a short time before his decease, that he well remembered the Whitney house to have been standing in his boyhood. The old tabernacle has, probably, been among the things that were, from 75 to 80 years. Within the last 14 years, two hollows, marking the places of the cellar and well have been visible; but the plough has since passed over, and obliterated all marks of them. The dwelling-house of Robert Harris stood about six rods over the line into Brookline; and the two houses--Harris's and Whitney's--were about 1/4 of a mile apart, following the road that leads into Brookline. In the rear of the spot where the old Whitney mansion stood, the ground descends on a gradual slope for several rods to a narrow strip of meadow, through which runs a pleasant little brook. Beyond the meadow, the ground rises abruptly to an elevation many feet higher than the front of the lot; and still rises, gradually, forming a slope of considerable dimensions, and extending westerly to its boundary on Brookline. All that part of the lot lying west of the brook is covered with a fine grove of forest trees. On the removal of the Whitneys, the property came, by purchase, into the possession of the Child Family, whose premises it joined, and was by them retained until about four years since, when Mr. Stephen Child of Boston, lately deceased, sold the lot to Mr. Abel Adams. On the elevated plain in the rearward portion of his lot, Mr. Adams has erected a magnificent stone edifice, in the Elizabethan style of architecture, which fairly out-gables Hawthorne's Pynchon house. [Hist. of Roxbury][19]

"JOHN, Roxbury, prob[ably] eldest s[on] of John the sec[ond] of Watertown, by w[ife] Eliz[abeth], eldest d[aughter] of Robert Harris, m[arried] 1669, had Elia[abeth] b[orn] 9 Sept. 1670; John, 1 Apr. 1672; Ruth, 31 Aug. 1674; Timothy, 16 Apr. 1678; Daniel, 3 Dec. 1681; and Sarah, 2 or 7 Aug. 1684, d[ied] under 5 y[ea]rs; was freem[an] 1684, and d[ied] 4 Mar. 1727. His will of Sept. 1718, was pro[bated] nine days aft[er] his d[eath]."[20]

He was a tailor by trade. His will was made in Sept., 1718; proved Mar. 13, 1726-7; mentions his wife Elizabeth."[21]

Children of John3 and Elizabeth (Harris) Whitney all born Roxbury, MA:

i. Elizabeth4 Whitney, b. 9 Sep 1670;[22] baptized 21 May 1671, Roxbury, MA;[23] on 10 May 1685, "Elizabeth Whitney ... received to take hold on o covenant";[24] d. before Sep 1718; her heirs are mentioned in her father's will, but who those heirs might be is currently unknown.

v. Daniel Whitney, b. 5 Dec 1681 [sic],[31] baptized 4 Dec 1681 [sic], Roxbury, MA;[32] m. Susanna Curtis.
vi. Sarah Whitney, b. 7 Aug 1684,[33] baptized 10 Aug 1684, Roxbury, MA;[34] d. 4 Jul 1689, Roxbury, MA. Parents: John Whitney and Ruth Reynolds.

Spouse: Elizabeth Harris. Elizabeth Harris and John Whitney were married on 4 March 1668 in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Children were: Timothy Whitney, Daniel Whitney.

The 1850 federal census of Watertown, MA shows Margaret, 73, living in the family of her daughter Margaret Ann Hagar, Margaret Ann's husband Horatio Hagar, their children Ellen and Sarah. A sister of Margaret Ann, Sarah A. Whitney, also lived with this family.

An 1855 census of Massachusetts shows Margaret Whitney, 78, living in Watertown, MA in the household of her daughter Catherine Whitney Rowley and Catherine's husband John Rowley (a wool sorter), along with Susan Hinch.

A death was registered in Roxbury, MA, on Feb. 22, 1861 of a Margaret Whitney aged 84 yrs 1 mo., widow, resided Vernon St.. Born in Newton. Her parents are listed as Timothy and Mary Whitney. Interred in Watertown, MA Parents: Timothy Whitney and Mary Hyde.

Spouse: Elijah Whitney. Margaret Whitney and Elijah Whitney were married on 25 March 1798 in Newton, Massachusetts. An entry and publication of marriage was entered in Newton MA Feb 11, 1798 between Elijah Whitney of Brookline and Margaret Whitney of Newton.

A marriage record in Newton MA. records a marriage between Elijah Whitney of Brookline and Margaret Whitney of Newton on Mar. 25, 1798.

I have no direct evidence that these marriage records apply to the same Elijah and Margaret who were the parents of Clotilde. These records are (as of 11/28/14) the only evidence suggesting Margaret's maiden name was Whitney.

More evidence: The record of this event, as recorded in Brookline, give the same particulars. The Brookline records also include an entry for Daniel Whitney and Sarah Gay (Elijah's parents, both from Brookline), in Jan. 1769, lending weight to this being the right Elijah. Children were: Margaret Ann Whitney, Clotilde Elizabeth Whitney, Catherine A. Whitney, Sarah A Gay Whitney.

Spouse: Horatio Hagar. Margaret Ann Whitney and Horatio Hagar were married on 1 October 1839 in Watertown, Massachusetts. Children were: Ellen F. Hagar, Sarah Louise Hagar, Elizabeth Hagar.

Spouse: Rebecca Hyde. Rebecca Hyde and Moses Whitney were married. Children were: Timothy Whitney.

Spouse: Ernest W. Bemis. Susie E. Whitney and Ernest W. Bemis were married on 14 November 1908 in Williamstown, Vermont. Children were: Raymond Bemis, Ralph Bemis, Ernest Bemis, girl Bemis.

In 1603, London was hit by a several-year-long outbreak of the plague in which 34,000 people perished and about 2/5ths of the population fled the city. Typically, it was the aristocracy and the rich who could afford to escape, and we know that Thomas Whitney was of some means, being styled "gentleman" in the records of his marriage. This plague could explain why their daughter Alice's baptism has not been located in Westminster, and why their daughter Margaret was buried in Isleworth in 1604/5.

Note that Thomas was not the son of Robert Whitney, third son of Sir Robert and Sybil (Baskerville) Whitney of Whitney, Herefordshire, as has been widely reported.

John Williams, thought to be a descendant of Roger Williams, Rhode Island, settled in Hilltown prior to 1740, and was a member of the Baptist church.
