- ↑ Source:Whitney, Henry Austin. Brief Account of the Descendants of John and Elinor Whitney, of Watertown, p. 13, (as also does NEHGR, Vol. 11, p. 121 in an article by the same author) identifies Josiah Whitney of Wrentham as marrying Elizabeth Grant. This is an error. The Weston marriage records (original?, copy) clearly say Whiting. Further, church records, p. 412 of the source cited above, lists the wife as Elizabeth Whiting, not Whitney, when she is dismissed to the church in Sherborn. Instead, Source:Lazell, Theodore S. Whiting Genealogy, p. 14 identifies Elizabeth Grant's husband as the son of Samuel Whiting and first wife Sarah Metcalf of Dedham, which makes much more sense given the description of Josiah as "formerly of Dedham" (i.e., not of Wrentham as the deed cited above indicates) found in the marriage record.
