  	"Whitney Genealogy": They dwelt at Warwick Village. He is known to have been in the army in 1780, and served to the end of the war of the Revolution, and was, it is said, a Captain. In the Spring of 1784, he went to the Wyoming region, in Penn., and bought a thousand acres of land, on which to settle; and died in June of the same year, from over-exertion, when not fully recovered from an attack of measles. His widow moved, with her children, to Big Flats, NY and died there, 29 May 1817, at the house of her daughter, Mrs. Martha (whitney) Snow. She was buried in a family-cemetery, laid out on their farm, now owned by James Whitney, on the Sing Sing Creek, in the town of Big Flats, nine miles north-west of Elmira.
