    Notes 
    • 'John WHITNEY was probably born before his father went to Southold, as the fact that he was of full age before 20 Jan 1665/66, is indicated by the following vote: 'At the towne meeting held the 20th of Jan. 1665, grante unto John WHITNE the sonne of Henry WHITNEY oinse unto his father's home lott extending from the Brow of the hill lying by the hiweigh leading to the Rodds cartpath by the sayd Falls.' He settled, with his father, in Norwalk, followed his business, of millwright, and miller; succeeded him in the possession of the mill and homestead; and married 17 Mar 1674/75, Elizabeth SMITH, dau. of Richard Smith. [Phoenix p11]

      'Whitney, John, Norwalk, only son of Henry, married 17 Mar 1675, Elizabeth, daughter of Richard SMITH, probably of L.I . Had John, born 12 Mar 1677; Joseph, 1 Mar 1679, Henry, 21 February 1681; and Richard, 18 Apr 1687; but no more known of him except that he was a miller, had good property and his children perpetuated the name in that region.' [Savage p530]

      Savage was INCORRECT in listing a child of John and Elizabeth (SMITH) WHITNEY. John and Elizabeth did NOT have a child named Samuel. This error was repeated in various publications, including several Connecticut town histories and the books by S. Whitney Phoenix. 'Saml. WHITNEY of Stratford' (who married Anne LABOREE) was the son of Nathaniel WHITNEY and Sarah HAGAR - and thus a descendant of John and Elinor WHITNEY of Watertown. Proof lies in the probate records of Samuel's father, Nathaniel WHITNEY, Middlesex County, MA, File No. 24731.
