Diane Whitney
Bio
This is my great grandfather. He was born to John Whitney and Marah Polly Whitney who were 2nd cousins to each other. He volunteered at age 26 for the Army out of Ellisburgh, Jefferson New York and organized at Elmira, New York for the 24th Regiment Co K under Colonel Timothy Sullivan. They engaged in the Battle of Falmouth, Groveton, Centreville, and Fredericksburg. He was a private when he was finished and quite ill. He is buried at the soldiers home in Grand Ledge Michigan where I visited. He married Anna Amanda Fellows on 9 April 1864 Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio. I have as of yet found her grave or if she was cremated. He had 4 sons, Grant Charles, Guy William, Lee John, and Santee Fellows.
