Subject: Whitney: your opinion please...

Hello all again, just your local pest!

In July of 1995, I spent about 9 hours in my local LDS Family History
Center on their computer.  I printed out every page of stuff I could that
had anything even remotely interesting on it.  I would like to post some
of the tidbits that make me go "HUH?" and see what you all think, or if
any of you can confirm or deny.

On one printed page I have it state John Whitney's (the immigrant)
Year of birth as 1600. I ahev also seen 1589, 1592 and 1599. It is my
understanding that he was indeed born in 1589, baptised in 1592 and that hi
wife, Elinor, was born in 1599.  Any comments?

Another page I have mentions that this John was of Flemish heritage.
It has been my understanding that the Whitney's, for the most part, are
an old Saxon family. Any other comments?

Another page I have mentions pedigree sheets for John which
presumably cover from 714 to 1919.  Has anyone seen these or can
anyone comment on them?

Yet another page mentions "the descendants of Sir Robert de Whitney"
pedigree from William I, Duke of Normandy, 1066-1592." Anyone seen
this one?


And last but not least (for now), another page mention a microfilm
of a work done in 1964 by a Arthur M. Cobleigh which claims to trace a
direct line pedigree from Adam to John Whitney.  It was apparently
taken from data found in the book "One Hundred thirty-eight generations from
Adam" by George E. Congdon.  It mentions Irish, Scottish and English
royal lines and the name "Baskerville" so who knows how accurate some
of it might be? Has anyone seen this one either?

Anyway, I would realy like to know the opinions of some of this
info.  Before I try to obtain it through the inter-library process.
I must say that it all ignites my curiosity. If any of you would like
the catalog numbers for the page copies mentioned above, they are
conveniently printed on the page, I will be more than happy to give them
to you.

Sorry if my posts today seem scattered, but its been a weekend, a
crazy one.

My thanks to all in advance.

Caradwen
