    Notes:

    Name:
    "Whitney Genealogy": .....His father had already given to him, 18 Oct.1709, "my now Dwelling House, Barn ad Home Lott, containing four acres of land." He returned to his father, 19 Oct. 1709, a life-lease of the same, as follows:

    For and in Consideration of Love, good will and Affection, which I have and do bear towards my Honoured and Well Respected Father, Mr. John Whitney, of the aforesaid Town and County, Do give and grant, and by these presents do fully & Absolutely give and grant unto him, my said Father, John Whitney, the free use and Improvement of one half of ye now Dwelling House, Barn & home Lott that he now dwells in & Improves, During ye Term of his Natural Life, as also, ye Improvement of Half of said House, & what convenience may be needful in ye Barn unto my Honoured Mother, if she survive my said father, During her continuance of Widowhood.

    He sold this property, 8 July 1712, to his brother, john Whitney, subject to the foregoing lease; and removed, among the early settlers, to Ridgefield, Conn., where we find his ear-mark recorded 1 Dec 1712. Here he was chosen townsman, 17 Dec 1717; fence-viewer, 5 Dec 1720, 19 Dec 1723, 14 Dec 1724, and 22 Dec 1726.

    The Townsmen Do Order that ye White Oak Tree standing near Henry Whitne's be recorded their Sign Post. Recorded Janry 7th 1727-7, Per me
    Thomas Hawley, Registr.

    He died at Ridgefield, 26 April 1728, and was, doubtless, buried in the old graveyard south of the village, where only two gravestones yet stand, neither of which is his. In exchanging land with Joseph Northrop, Sen., of Ridgefield, 26 Apr. 1727, he styled himself "Henry Whitney, Senr, of New England, Weaver." Four days before his death, 22 Apr 1728, he conveyed land to Rev. Thomas Hawley, and probably on account of weakness, signed the deed by his mark. Many grants of land were made by the town, on his right, to his heirs, from 16 May 1729 to 1742, and, perhaps, even later. It is said that his widow live to a great age, and died at Ridgefield, but no record of her death has been found.....

He proposed to build a grist-mill on Sasco River, "where the sawmill stood," and asked the town to give him a small piece of land on which to set a house. His request was granted by town-meeting, 27 Apr 1713, and a committee appointed to lay out the land and stipulate the conditions of the grant. Another town-meeting, 6 Aug. 1716, granted him liberty to flow so much of the town-commons as should be needed for the mll. His mill appears to have been built before 24 Aug. 1716, when the committee laid out, and, 12 Sept. 1716, formally conveyed to him, land on the east side of Sasco River, near to his mill, on his engagement "to keep a good and sufficient grist mill, on said rive, att or near the lace where his now gristmill now standeth, when it can be done with labour; and to grind all sorts of grain for two quarts a bushell into good & sufficient meal, if the grain be good and also to keep a sufficient house over said mill to secure all such grain as shall be brought to said mill, with a good lock and key continually to said house; and to grind all such grists of all sorts of grain as shall be bought by any Inhabitant of said town to said mill seasonably and before he or they shall grind for a stranger." He was living at Stratfield as early as 18 Oct 1714, when he sold land in Norwalk, to "William Jarvis of Huntington, on ye Island of Nassau," and again 21 Jan. 1725-6, when he sold to his brother, Joseph Whitney, a "Fifty pounds Right of commonage" in the undivided lands of Norwalk. he was a juror, at Fairfield, 24 Dec. 1734.
