Squire Edwin Herbert7 Whitney (Jonathan6, Aaron5, Jonas4, Moses3, Richard2, John1), born Cayuga, New York, 7 Oct 1806; married 29 May 1850, Jane Horton, born Jan. 20, 1826; died Feb., 1858; married 2d, 18 May 1859, Eliza J. Kyle, born 15 Oct 1818; died Feb. 5, 1890.
He was the eldest son of Dr. Jonathan Whitney, of Cayuga. Possessed of a most genial temperament, which attached to him all who were brought within his influence, active in business, and with a capacity to take a prominent place in any of the growing cities of New York, he was nevertheless content to pass a long life of humble usefulness in the village of his birth, enjoying the independence of such position and happy in the opportunities which it afforded. Through most of his mature life he was a justice of the peace of his town, the counselor and advisor of the community in matter of business, and the kind friend to whom all looked for sympathy and assistance in time of affliction or pecuniary disaster. In his temperance, cheerfulness, industry and benevolence he blessed his own life and the lives of all about him. Few men in Cayuga County were so well known as he. A Rochester paper in a lengthy obituary says: "It is doubtful if there survives him any one born within the country who has attained a more advanced age and certainly no one more respected through a long life in the community in which he lived." He died Mar., 1891; resided Rochester, New York.
