Relationship to Whitney Families[edit]

Although there was a prominent Whitney family related to this location, there is currently no proven link between this family and any current Whitney family in America. The purported paternal grandparents of Thomas Whitney (father of American immigrant John) were originally put into doubt on chronological grounds in the article by Donald Lines Jacobus, "Pre-American Ancestries: John Whitney of Watertown, Mass.," The American Genealogist, vol. 10 (1933-1934), pp. 84-88; and were conclusively ruled out in the article by Paul C. Reed, "Whitney Origins Revisited: John-1 Whitney of Watertown, Massachusetts, and Henry-1 Whitney of Long Island and Norwalk, Connecticut," The American Genealogist, vol. 69 (1994), pp. 9-14. - Tdoyle (talk) 20:13, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
