    Notes 
    • IV. John Whitney, b. in Ridgefield, Conn., 28 Jan. 1717; married, 15 June 1746, at Ridgefield, by Rev. Jonathan Ingersol, pastor of the Congregational Church, to Hephzibah Olmstead, dau. of Richard and Mary (Betts) Olmstead; g. dau. of John Olmstead and of Samuel Betts, of Wilton, Conn. She died in Ridgefield, 20 May 1753, of consumption, having been able to walk about the house the day before her death. He married (2d) Thankful Benedict,1 who was born 23 June 1727, youngest child of Benjamin and Mary Benedict. By the settlement of his father's estate, 28 March 1744, and a division made by him and his brother Daniel Whitney, 4 Feb. 1745, he had the south half of his father's homestead in Ridgefield, which he sold, 14 Feb. 1753, with "dewlling house, barn, shop, fruit trees and fences," to Abraham Betts, of Norwalk, for L1200, old tenor. A deed of 20 March 1771, shows that he then lived in Salem, Westchester Co., N.Y. He signed a deed, 14 Feb. 1793, in which he called himself of "the County of Serry Togue and State of New York." He lived, in the latter part of his life, with his son Ezra, at, or near, Johnstown, New York. He is known to have visited his son Samuel, in Paris, now Kirkland, Oneida Co., N.Y., about 1797, when he was eighty yeears old, but neither the place nor the date of his death, or that of his second wife, have been reported; but she died first.
