    Notes:

    Name:
    "Whitney Genealogy": In 1873, one of his descendants said: "My great-grandfather, Henry Whitney, while cutting wood in the morning before sunrise, heard music, and, looking up, saw some witches in a hog's trough, go sailing along over-head, singing: 'Hoity cock, hoity cock, day breaks on;" and genealogists are compelled to read and consider many traditions and legends which are not better than this. 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.

    Henry married Elizabeth LOBDELL on 05 Dec 1755 in Ridgefield, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of Ebenezer LOBDELL and Rebecca BENEDICT) was born on 21 Sep 1733 in Ridgefield, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA; died on 14 Aug 1816 in Ridgefield, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA.

    Notes:

    Name:
    "Whitney Genealogy": They settled in Ridgefield; their residence there can be traced by the births of their children to the latter pat of the year 1752, and by deeds, almost continuously from 1744 to 1760. He joined with his four brothers in dividing their father's estate, 28 March 1744; divided the homestead with his brother John, 4 Apr 1745, he taking the north half; deeded land to his four brothers, and took deeds from them, 18 Apr 1750; had land laid out to him by the proprietors, 23 Feb. 1750/51; bought and sold land, 30 March 1752; sold his house and land to Vivus Dauchy, 14 March1753; had land laid out, 26 June 1753; sold all of his common and undivided land to James Bradley, for L28, 27 Apr 1754; sold 19 acres of land to Rev. Jonathan Ingersol, 24 Feb. 1757; bought seven acres of land at Blacksmith Ridge, 5 March 1757; joined 24 May 1759, with his wife, Thankful Whitney, and her brothers and sister, Christopher Burt, Daniel Burt, Seaborn Burt, and Sarah Cornwell, of Ridgefield, and Benjamin Burt of Warwick, Orange Co., NY, in dividing the estate "which our Honrd. father Benjamin Burt Deed, Died Seized of." He sold his land at "Blacksmith ridge Bridge: 11 Jan. 1760, and soon moved to Warwick, Orange County, NY. Eager's "History of Orange County", pp. 422-425, gives an account of Daniel Burt, and (after showing that he settled in Warwick in 1746, sold out and went back to Conn., and then returned to Warwick in 1760) says: "When Daniel Burt returned to the county in 1760, Daniel Whitney came with him, married his sister, and located." 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." He was really about 90 years old. His home was in the south-east corner of the town of Romulus, near Whitney's Landing, probably with his grandson, John Whitney.
