| Shared note | Captain Benjamin Whitney served in the Revolution in Petersham Company of Worcester County, Mass., as second Lieutenant under General Lee and was finally commissioned Captain. In the "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors" record, p. 208 Benjamin Whitney 2nd Lieutenant in Captain Wing Spooner's Company of Minute Men; Colonel Ward's Regiment, marched April 9, 1775. Enlisted April 1775 served 10-1/2 days." [from State of Vt. Office of Sect'y] "Captain Benjamin Whitney 3rd Lieutenant in Captain Wing Spooner's 11th Co. Regiment of Massachusetts Militia; Colonel Nathan Sparhawks 7th Worcester County; list of officers chosen by several companies in said Regiment, ordered in Council April 6, 1776; that said officers be commissioned; reported commissioned April 5 1776." Identity of wife unknown, but something Reyes calls the "death memorandum" states that she was buried in Quebec, Canada. Since her son, Newhall Whitney was in the lumber business in Canada, operating out of and living in Three Rivers (Trois Riviers), perhaps she was living with him at the time of her death and some record of this may be found at that place.
