Quoted from Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, Volume 3, pg 1142

John Whitney, son of Samuel Weston, was born in Canaan, now Skowhegan, Maine, March 27, 1793, died October 9, 1878. In 1819 he purchased the interest in the saw mill of his cousin, Cyrus Weston, and continued lumbering all his life. Owning timber lands in the Dead river region, he was the first man to cut spruce timber to run down the Kennebec river for the market, and did an extensive business sending rafts of pine boards down the river to Augusta. In politics he was a Whig, and in religion a Universalist.
