"44 … John Whitney, b. at Stratfield, now Bridgeport, Conn., 17 Jan. 1719-20. His uncle, Benjamin Darling, for 'Natural Love and affection,' gave to him, 12 Dec. 1748, a part of his homestead in Greenfield parish, being one-fourth of an acre of land, which he sold, 15 March 1749-50, to Joseph Jennings Jr. He was married at Branford, Conn., 19 Jan. 1750-51, by Rev. Philemon Robbins, Congregational, to Deborah Smith, who was born at New Haven, Conn. He was a ship-carpenter, and lived at Stony Creek, in Branford, in a house that has been torn down; and later he lived near the landing, in a house which still stands, near what is called the 'Dutch House Quarter,' which, tradition says, belonged to his garden. He owned the baptismal covenant in Branford, 18 Feb. 1753; and bought eighty-six rods of land at Stony Brook, 11 July 1763, of William Barker, for £1 10s. He died in Branford, 29 March 1805, aged 85."
