WHITNEY Whitney, was born December 7, 1735, at Watertown, and resided there until after his marriage when he made his home in Weston, the town adjoin- ing. He was a farmer. With his brothers he served in the company of Captain Samuel Barnard of Watertown in Colonel Thomas Gardner's regiment and marched to Lexing- ton on the alarm of April 19, 1775. Paul Revere was ably assisted in spreading the alarm by Abraham Whitney. The night before the battle Abraham started for Lynn on horse- back with panniers filled with shoes which his brother desired to have delivered in the morn- ing, and when he reached Charlestown he was startled by a voice asking him stealthily "if he knew the regulars were landing." He re- plied that he did not and was told the particu- lars. Relieving the horse of the load of shoes he galloped him back to Watertown and gave the alarm agreed upon in case of the expected invasion. By sunrise the company was ready to march from the rendezvous on the village green in front of the old meeting house. Abraham Whitney was also in the company of Captain Phinenhas Stearns which marched from Watertown by order of General Wash- ington and took part in the fortification of Dorchester Heights in March, 1776.

WHITNEY (VII) George Washington, son of Ezekiel Whitney, was born at Watertown, August 26, 1812, died at Brighton, Massachusetts, March 17, 1863. He attended the public schools of his native town. During his youth he was employed as coachman for the Stearns family in Boston. Even then he was an ex- cellent judge of horses and skillful in hand- ling them. Soon after the Boston & Worcester railroad was built he began to work for the railroad company, and was soon placed in the position of section master by Superintendent Twitchell, who knew Mr. Whitney's ability and judgment through personal acquaintance. His section was that from Boston to Allston and his success in this position brought him

promotion to the position of superintendent of the road from Boston to Worcester. The reputation of the Boston & Worcester rail- road, later known as the Boston & Albany, was in no small part due to his good judg- ment, industry and faithfulness to duty. He took high rank among the pioneers in railroad construction and maintenance. He always kept abreast of the times. He resided in Bos- ton and Brighton. Though kindly and cheer- ful in his nature, he believed in discipline in business and expected from his men the same indefatigable industry that he himself gave to his daily work, and he was not disap- pointed. No superintendent was ever served more faithfully and none had the confidence and esteem of his men to a greater degree. He believed in total abstinence and did much for the cause of temperance. He took great pleas- ure in driving and owned many fine horses and belonged to the best sporting clubs of Brighton. He was witty himself and fond of a joke and his good humor attracted many friends to him. To his family he was greatly endeared. He attended the Baptist church of Brighton, of which his wife was a member. He was a member of the Boston Lancers, which for many years has been the pet cav- alry organization of Massachusetts. In poli- tics he was a Democrat. He married, No- vember 28, 1833, Elizabeth Cook, born No- vember 10, 1815, died November 1, 1860. Children : I.

When a young man he was employed for a number of years by H. D. Smith, who owned a livery stable at the cor- ner of Second and Gore streets, Cambridge. During the last ten years of his life he was a faithful and trusted assistant of Charles E. Daley in the livery stable business, Cambridge street. His gentle nature, courtesy and faith- fulness won the confidence and esteem of both employer and customers. He was a most valued and valuable man for Mr. Daley. At the time of his death, one of his employers said of him: "He was a man out of place in life, worthy of a large share of the world's goods." He was handicapped by lameness caused early in life by an attack of rheumatic fever. He died of typhoid fever when but twenty-nine yars of age.

(IX) John William, son of Edward Whit- ney, was born at Cambridge, January 1, 1875. He attended the public schools, but his father died when he was but six years old and he was

obliged to contribute as much as possible from early boyhood to support the family. At the age of thirteen he found employment in the laboratory of Henry Thayer, a manufacturing chemist, of Cambridge. After six years in this position he was employed by North's Packing Company as a teamster for eight years. He started in business in 1902 at 9 Chestnut street, East Somerville, in the man- ufacture of barrels. He had but little capital, the modest savings of many years of hard work, but he displayed a natural aptitude for business and a skill in his special line of re- pairing and making all kinds of barrels. His business flourished from the start. In three years he had to find larger quarters, and he bought a large building with stable, etc., at the rear at 113 Linwood street. His best custom- ers are the large packing houses in Cambridge and Somerville and the wholesale merchants in Boston.

(VI) Silas, son of Daniel Whitney, was born February 26, 1758, in Stow, died at Charlestown in 1838. He was a blacksmith and farmer and was noted for his strength.

(VII) Captain Silas, son of Silas Whitney, was born January 26, 1781, at Stow, died at Charlestown, January 20, 1824. He was edu- cated in the public schools and when a young man went to Boston. A few years later he and his brothers, John and Ephraim Whitney, entered partnership as general contractors. The first permanent railway in America was constructed at Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1827, but the Whitney firm built and operated a gravity railroad on Beacon Hill several years earlier to facilitate the work of cutting down Beacon Hill and grading Charles street, for which the firm had the contract. A train loaded with gravel at the top would by its weight in descending pull an empty train to the top, thus saving the use of horses alto- gether in the work. This labor-saving de- vice is still used in mining operations and con- struction work when possible. The Whitney firm had the contract to build Central Wharf and many other important railroad and con- struction contracts. Later in life Silas Whit- ney was proprietor of the Middlesex Hotel, then situated between Warren avenue and the old bridge road in Charlestown. The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1836. He was cap- tain of a Boston company of the state militia. At one time Captain Whitney owned the brick dwelling house at 34 Charles street and a three-story house on Morton street.

(VIII) Silas Gore, son of Silas Whitney, was born in Boston, August 9, 1800, died there July 15, 1854. He attended the public schools and was associated with his father until the latter's death in 1824. He then went by sailing vessel to Venezuela, and settled at Puerto Cabelo where he entered the commis- sion house of Franklin Litchfield, then one of the largest mercantile houses in the vicinity. By his energy, probity and strict attention to business in all its details, he gained for himself such favor with his employer that he was pro- moted to positions of greater responsibility and was looked upon as a factor in the busi- ness. His command of the Spanish language made him invaluable to his employer and he soon became a partner of this large concern. The firm was known as Litchfield & Whitney, and all business of exchange, banking, etc., was also done through them. In the height of his success, he returned to Boston and married Sarah Susan Penniman, daughter of Amasa and Eunice (Soper) Penniman, of Braintree. He returned to Venezuela with his bride, and their first two children were born there. His business duties became more arduous, the correspondence of the firm de- volving upon him. Through the efforts of Mr. Litchfield he was appointed United States vice consul of the port, which position he held while there. Upon the death of Mr. Litchfield, and owing to his own impaired health, he closed up the affairs of the firm and in 1842 returned with his family to Boston. Here he became associated with Timothy W. Hoxsie at 25 Commercial Wharf, under the

firm name of T. W. Hoxsie & Co., dealers in lime, cement and builders' supplies. The busi- ness was later moved to 46 Long Wharf. He lived first at 5 Kingston street, removing in 1846 to 36 Porter street. The firm became one of the largest of its kind in Boston. About 1848 he was appointed United States consul of Venezuela for the port of Boston, which office he held in conection with his business until his death. From 1848 to 1852 he re- sided on Ash street, and from then until his death at 12 Dover street, then one of the select residence streets of Boston. He was a man of strict integrity, and discharged with signal ability all the duties of citizenship, of business, and of his offices of trust. He was of high moral character and of gentle and kindly nature. He attended while in Boston the Church of the Messiah (Episcopal), but was broad-minded, and often attended Theodore Parker's (Unitarian) church. He was a great admirer of Theodore Parker. In politics he was a Whig. Children: I. Mary Litchfield, born at Puerto Cabelo, May 9, 1837, married, June 10, 1855, James Morse Williams, of Newburyport; children: i.
