| Shared note | A child of Cyrus died on 4 Nov 1800, as shown in C.R.1. Whether it was one of the two children listed for him and Asenath is not known, but it would seem likely that it was Asena, the child born earlier that year to Asenath, who then died four days later. From Robert Ward, quoting Pierce, p. 197. "Cyrus was a good farmer and business man. Started a cotton factory in his native town, which was not very successful, was interested in a gold mine in H. [Harvard?] (A hole said to be 100 feet deep is shown in side hill now), helped build Union Turnpike from Concord through his farm to Harvard and Lancaster, which joined the road to Fitchburg. Built a substantial square brick mansion soon after his last marriage. Cyrus like many another Whitney, was ingenious, making use of the blacksmith shop left by his Uncle Jonas, and a bench for wood work, for repairs of farming utensils. He had a cider mill where at first the native fruit was ground up, and later the less marketable portion of the grafted crop. His cellars had the best of bottled cider of all ages; his barns were crowded with hay for his large herd of cattle, his lands were surrounded by heavy walls, his field near his house ornamented with an artificial pond which was well stocked with fish and lilies, surrounded by his orchards of peaches, pears, as well as apples."
