Shared note

At the time of the probate of the estate of father William Whitney in 1720, Martha Whitney, widow, was appointed guardian of the five minor children of her late husband, vizt. William, in his 14th year, Judith, in her 12th year, Amity, in her 8th year, Martha, in her 5th year, and Samuel, in his 2nd year, and posted bond with Jacob Pierce, husbandman, of Weston, as surety.

Given in the Watertown Records, but also in the Weston VR's on p. 2. The entry in Weston may be a duplicate "catching up" for the children already living there when the town was founded in 1707.

William, ch. William dec'd and Martha, c. m. Jan. 21, 1727/8 (Weston VR., p. 411).
