| Shared note | The Rev. Aaron seems to have lived in Littleton for a time and then removed to Petersham in Worcester County. All of the children are listed in both town's vital records, with only the first child, Abel, b. 1740, specified in both records as having been born in Littleton. All others are given as if they were born IN the town in which the listing appears. The only solution to the birth location of the seven children after the first Abel would be a church record that shows the year of change of residence. From Robert Ward's notes: He was also known as Rev. Aaron Whitney. He was educated in 1737 Cambridge, Middlesex, MA; graduated. He was ordained. He was a clergyman after 1738. He was a strong loyalist during the Revolutionary War between 1775 and 1783. Provided by: Allan Green [email protected] |
