    • 188 VIII. Josiah Anson Whitney, b. in Ridgefield, Conn., 18 Jan. 1762;1 a millwright; served in the Revolutionary War, and though he was only thirteen years old when it began, tradition says that he served six years, and "held a Captain's commission under Gen. George Washington." He married, about 1786 or the beginning of 1787, at Danbury, Conn., Rebecca Olmstead. Perhaps Danbury was their dwelling place for the first ten years; but in the early part of 1797, they were living in Paris, N.Y., and, about 1800, they moved to Westmoreland, N.Y., where she died, and was buried. He married (2d), 20 Sept. 1802, Sally Leet, who was born in Guilford, Conn., where also the marriage took place.
