Family:Whitney, Hiram (1830-1915)

Hiram ⁷ Whitney (Aaron⁶, Benjamin⁵, Joshua⁴, Cornelius³, Joshua², John¹), son of Aaron⁶ and Electa (Leach) Whitney, was born 4 Apr 1830, Mina, Chautauqua Co., NY, and died 1 Dec 1915, Mina, Chautauqua Co., NY.

He married, perhaps firstly, 3 Apr 1849, Emily Aurelia Jackson, daughter of Isaac and Sally B. (Bell) Jackson. She was born about 1828, West Bloomfield, NY, and died 4 Jul 1852.

He allegedly married secondly, before 1850, Sarah E. Jackson, daughter of Isaac and Sally B. (Bell) Jackson. She was born about 1832, NY. This marriage is deduced from the 1850 census.

Children of Hiram⁷ and Emily Aurelia (Jackson) Whitney:

i.	Carolyn8 Whitney, b. ca. Nov 1852, Mina, NY; "Caddie"; d. after 1920; m. ca. 1881, Fayette Morton.

Children of Hiram⁷ and Sarah E. (Jackson) Whitney:

ii.	Frances Ellie8 Whitney, b. ca. 1852, NY; living 1860; adopted by her grandfather Isaac Jackson; not found in 1870 or 1880.

Notes

It seems possibly that Sarah E. and Emily were the same person.

Frances may have been a twin of Carolyn, both daughters of Sarah/Emily. Frances may have been living with her aunt Elvira (Jackson) Taylor and grandfather Isaac Jackson.
