Marriage View	Marriage is in the Gorham VR's, but this date not given - it says "bef. Apr. 2, 1763, which is the date of birth of son Elias Whitney. However, there were three earlier children, all indicated as born in York, for which we do not yet have VR's. Further, the gap between child number three, Mary G. Whitney, b. 1754 in York and number four, Elias, b. 1763 in Gorham, suggests the possibility that this family lived somewhere else between 1754 and 1763 and that there might be other children in the 9 year gap.
