| Marriage | Isaiah given as "of Bolton" in marrigae intent in Stow. No mention of this in the Bolton VR. |
| Shared note | "Stow, Massachusetts, 1683 - 1933, compiled in honor of The Two Hundred Fiftieth Anniversary of the Town"; published by Rev. & Mrs. Preston R. Crowell of Stow, Massachusetts; n.p.d. - says "He was born in Harvard, lived and died on his father's farm on 'Bare Hill.' He was in the Revolutionary Army. Had five children,--Jonah, Dorcas, Isaiah(4), Amos, Cyrus(No. 1)." Further from the Harvard VR's. There was a child shown as John Whitney, s. of Isaiah and Persis Whitney baptized 30 Mar 1760, information from C.R.1. This may well be a miscopying for Jonah being baptized at age 1y, 9m. If not, with Dorcas being born in Apr of 1760, this "John" would have to have been born sometime in the late spring/early summer of 1759. There is no death record of such a John. From "Whitney Genealogy" (Pierce?) "He resided on the farm which his father purchased in 1722, before the town was incorporated. There were in Harvard tow others by the same name as his: one was called 'one thumb Zaiah,' because he had but one thumb, and the other 'Pond Zaiah,' because he lived near Bare Hill pond. He was in the Revolutionary army, in the company from Harvard, commanded by Capt. Davis. On the rolls in the State House at Boston he is reported dead. His gravestone gives his age as 83. Res. Harvard and Stow, Mass." Apropos his death date; two records appear in the Harvard VR extracts. The first, marked G.R.1, shows the date as 23 Feb 1817, age 83. The second, marked C.R.1, shows the date as 23 Feb 1818, age 82y. Typhus Fever. Provided by: Allan Green [email protected] |
