Notes
Tim Doyle wrote the following.
Searching for his parentage, it is found that in 1840, both Uriah Whitney and Samuel Whitney were in Bowdoin and had males of this age range.
- 1840 U.S. Census, Bowdoin, Lincoln Co., ME, p. 314
- Uriah Whitney 0000100001000-1000010001000
- Samuel Whitney 1000300001000-1010300001000
Uriah Whitney was the man of that name, b. 18 Apr 1813; "of Bowdoin" m. (int. 9 Jan 1836, Lisbon, ME), Caroline Tebbetts "of Lisbon". He was the son of Jonathan Whitney (s1764-a1813). See Family:Whitney, Jonathan (s1764-a1813) for more on this family. However, Uriah was the man in the 20-30 age bracket, so this was probably not our James.
Samuel Whitney was probably the man of that name, b. 12 Sep 1793, Bowdoin, Maine, son of Ebenezer-6 Whitney (Samuel-5, Samuel-4, John-3, Benjamin-2, John-1). See Family:Whitney, Ebenezer (1762-1849) for more on this family.
Although we can't yet be sure, I suspect there's a chance that James, b. ca. 1816, was a son of this Samuel Whitney. If so, his ancestry would be: James-8, (perhaps) Samuel-7, Ebenezer-6, Samuel-5, Samuel-4, John-3, Benjamin-2, John-1. If anyone has any additional information the family of this Samuel, please let us know.
