  Death	1810  [1]
  Notes	Excerpt from: "The Whitney Family of Connecticut" ....It is reported that he served in the Revolutionary War. He was a farmer; but his grandson, Isaac Lounsbury Whitney, who was born 26 March 1800 says: "He was a Methodist minister. I have been at his house a week at a time, and went with him to the church. He lived in a log-house on Connecticut Mountain; at that time I was only six years of age.: he is said to have had two, or perhaps three, wives; but the name of only one, Eva Youngs, has survived, and owes its preservation to the circumstance that it was engraved on one of her pewter plates, which is yet, Jan. 1875, in possession of her granddaughter, Mrs. Horton. He died in 1810."
