The Whitney Family Of Connecticut, And Its Affiliations; Being An Attempt To Trace The Descendants, As Well In The Female As The Male Lines, Of Henry Whitney, From 1649 To 1878 (Volume I)

Behind every surname lies a story of courage, loss, migration and hope. Names become lives, not lines. The Whitney Family of Connecticut, and Its Affiliations, Volume I, is a meticulous genealogical reference book in which Stephen Whitney Phoenix traces the Henry Whitney descendants across more than two centuries, following both male and female branches from 1649 to 1878. Set within the rich tapestry of Connecticut family history and the wider experience of 17th to 19th century America, these carefully assembled New England genealogy records show how one household grew into a far-reaching clan, illuminating the social fabric of colonial Connecticut families and the rise of prominent New England families.Combining painstaking documentation with a deep awareness of family history genealogy, Phoenix organises American lineage records into an indispensable resource for researchers of New England ancestry and a trusted genealogy reference for historians. Dates, relationships and affiliations are woven into a coherent portrait of Whitney family genealogy that anchors individual lives in place, time and community. For readers tracing kinship, students of New England’s past, and collectors of classic local histories, this volume offers enduring insight into how private lives intersect with public history, making it a touchstone for anyone drawn to original New England genealogy records and the lived reality of colonial and post-colonial America.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions.
