Capt. Whitney was a staunch whig, and took a decided stand in favor of the American Revolution. On hearing of the Battle of Lexington, which occurred on the 19th of April, 1775, Capt. Whitney and Capt. Jonathan Warren shouldered their muskets and hastened forward to offer their services as volunteers in defence of the Colonies. Capt. Whitney also reached Bennington on the eve of Aug. 16, 1777, and was placed as a guard over the captured enemy. At the close of the campaign he returned to his family and his farm, a laborious citizen, taking a lively interest in the growth amd prosperity of the town, and in the spiritual advance of the Congregational Church, of which for many years he was a worthy member. He reared a large family, whose voices in the choir are long to be re- membered. His family has been widely dispersed, and only a few of their descendants remain to cherish their memory.
