    "Henry Whitney, b. at Norwalk, Conn., 21 Feb. 1680 [1680-81]; a weaver; married, 14 June 1710, at Norwalk, Elizabeth Olmstead,2 dau. of 'the late Lieut John' and Mary (Benedict) Olmstead, of Norwalk, and g. dau. of Thomas and Mary (Bridgum) Benedict. … He … removed, among the early settlers, to Ridgefield, Conn., where we find his ear-mark recorded 1 Dec. 1712. Here he was chosen townsman, 17 Dec. 1717; fence-viewer, 5 Dec. 1720, 19 Dec. 1723, 14 Dec. 1724, and 22 Dec. 1726. … He died at Ridgefield, 26 April 1728, and was, doubtless, buried in the old graveyard, south of the village, where only two gravestones yet stand, neither of which is his. … It is said that his widow lived to a great age, and died at Ridgefield, but no record of her death has been found."
