Book Description

Excerpt from Genealogy of the Whittelsey-Whittlesey Family Special stress is laid on their faithful performance of duty, as it constitutes the leading characteristic of the family. While none of these descendants have become famously rich many have retired from business on a comfortable income, and honor added to their name, which was of priceless value. The Whittlesey Memorials, published in 1855, was the foundation on which this work was started. The great amount of labor expended in compiling that little volume has been greatly appreciated in this, its revision and completion. The ancestral lines and all records herein given have been taken from the most reliable authorities available. The military records have been procured from the United States Government, the adjutant - generals of the different States, and the soldiers' respective families.
