    Notes 
    • XI. Josiah Whitney, b. at Norwalk, Conn., date not known; married, 30 Oct. 1729, at Norwalk, Eunice Hanford, dau. of "Mr. Eleazer Hanford," and Hannah, his wife, and g. dau. of Rev. Thomas and Mary (Miles) Hanford, of Norwalk. They settled in Norwalk, where he died as early as 1750. He was of legal age to sell land as early as 25 Jan. 1721-22, and was named in the deed after his brothers--an indication that he was younger than they. No record of her birth or death has been found. She had L82 16s. 7d. from her father's estate, about 1737. In that year, 19 May, John Reed, "for and in behalf of his wife Hannah, and as guardian to his son-in-law, Eleazor Hanford, and his daughter-in-law, Mary Hanford, minors," quit claim to Josiah Whitney, of Norwalk, and his wife Eunice, their shares in 58 acres of land "belonging to the estate of Mr. Eleazer Hanford, late of sd Norwalk, deceased, situate nar Pimpewauge, above the Split Rock farm that was Mr. Joseph St. John's, late of Norwalk, deceased." Probably John Reed married Hannahy, widow of Eleazer Hanford and mother of Josiah Whitney's wife. The final distribution of the dower of Eleazer Hanford's widow, 1 May 1759, shows that Eunice Whitney had already deceased.
