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.....

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."

Name:
"Whitney Genealogy": They settled in Norwalk, where she died 28 Oct. 1798, aged, according to the gravestone, 80 years, 4 months, and 22 days, but really, from the change of style, eleven days less. The church-record of New Canaan, Conn., has the death, in "Nov. 1798", of "the wife of Mr. Whitney," which refers to her. He died at Silver Mine, in New Canaan, 16 Apr. 1816, and was Buried in New Canaan. Tradition calls him a soldier of the Revolutionary War. It is said that they dwelt, many years, in Pudding Lane, about half a mile north of Norwalk Bridge, in a house which was torn down in the spring of 1865; and that he had charge of a grist-mill, in which his son, Ebenezer Whitney, succeeded him. "For many years he owned and commanded a sloop, in which he performed great service for the Continental Government in carrying dispatches and supplies under the very guns of the British ships." An interesting account of his adventures was published a few years ago in the "New York Sunday Despatch", under the title, "Revolutionary Scenes. By T.R. Whitney," from which it appears that when Norwalk was burned, in 1779, he ran out of the harbor with his sloop loaded with the families and goods of his neighbors, escaping the British, and safely reaching Stamford.

Another tradition says that when he was eighteen years old, he was at Ebenezer Lobdell's house, saw a babe in the cradle, and said, " I will wait till this little girl is a woman and take her for my wife," a pledge which he redeemed when he was forty years old.

We have seen that the marriage was nearly nineteen years earlier.
Daniel Whitney finally, at what time is not known, moved to Romulus, Seneca Co., NY and there died in 1808, 1809, or 1810 (as variously reported), "aged over 80 years."

She was b. 18 Aug. 1722.
He learned the arts of tanning and shoemaking, and settled in the aprish of Middlesex, in Stamford, now Darien, Conn., in a house which he built in 1751, about half a mile north of the parish church, and which, in 1866, was torn down by his grandson, Charles E. Whitney, to make room for a new house for himself on the same spot. Tradition says that when he setled there he had only a foot-path to his house, that deer were yet very plenty, and that he often exchanged a pair of shoes for a bushel of wheat. They were members, and he was chosen a deacon, of the Congregational Church of Middlesex, now Darien. She joined by letter, 7 Oct. 1744.

He was one of those who were taken prisoners, in the Middlesex church, on Sunday 22 July 1781, during public worship, by a party of British and refugees, and taken to Long Island. Some of the prisoners never returned; but he, more fortunate, found some acquaintances, through whose influence he was released and allowed to return. He and his wife lived together nearly seventy years, sixty-three of which were passed under one roof, and her death was the first that took place in the house. She died 4 Jan. 1814, aged 91 years, 4 months and 6 days, having then living (according to an obituary written at Stamford, 13 Jan. 1814) 7 children, 47 grandchildren, 83 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren.

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.
