The following is copied from the Whitney family website athttp://www.whitneygen.org/families/johnw/ancestry.html

Once we accept this identification, we search for the parentage of JohnWHITNEY in the vicinity of Isleworth and London. Sure enough, Melville found a certain John, son of Thomas WHITNEY, baptized on 20 July 1592 inSt. Margaret's, Westminster, London. The allegation for the marriagelicense of this Thomas WHYTNEY of Lambeth Marsh, gentleman, and MaryBRAY, daughter of John BRAY, on 10 May 1583, is recorded in the first actbook of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster (Joseph Lemuel Chester andGeo. J. Armytage, eds., Allegations for Marriage Licenses Issued by theDean and Chapter of Westminster, 1558 to 1699 ..., Harleian Soc. Pubs.,23[London, 1886]:8). "Lambeth Marsh" is a name still applied to alocality near the Surrey end of Westminster bridge. The marriage tookplace on 12 May 1583 at St. Margaret's, Westminster. This gives us a clueto the BRAY family. Sure enough, we find that Mary BRAY, daughter of JohnBRAY, was bapt. 24 Dec 1564, St. Margaret's, Westminster, and her parentsJohn BRAY and Margaret HASLONDE were married there 13 Aug 1553. (Thebaptisms of her siblings, who all died young, are found at St.Margaret's, Westminster, too.) Probably Mary (BRAY) WHITNEY was the "Mrs.Mary WHITTNEY" who was buried at St. Margaret's on 25 Sep 1629. For theirchildren, see below.

In 1611 it is recorded that Thomas WHITNEY paid the subsidy tax, andDecember 6, 1615, on the probate of the will of his father-in-law, JohnBRAY, he and his wife were appointed executors. February 22, 1607, heapprenticed his son John, and November 8, 1624, his son Robert. Therecord of the last, like the marriage license, describes Thomas WHITNEYas a "gentleman." September 25, 1629, he buried his wife, and on May 20,1637, was himself buried. Administration of his estate was, on May 22,1637, granted to his sons, Francis and Robert. The administrationaccounts show that the deceased was in comfortable circumstances, with afinal value of his estate on Mar 10, 1637/8, of £233.

Buttressing the identification of the immigrant John WHITNEY with John,son of Thomas WHITNEY of Westminster is the following information fromthe records of the Company of Merchant Tailors, connecting Thomas ofWestminster to his son John, and John to his brother Robert. Furthermore,the social standing of Thomas WHITNEY, "gentleman", is consistent withJohn1 WHITNEY's status in Watertown.

Extracts from the books of the Merchant Taylors' Company, of the city ofLondon, England:

The ancestry of Thomas WHITNEY of Westminster is not known. Melvilleclaimed that he was identical with Thomas WHITNEY, the third son ofRobert WHITNEY and Elizabeth, daughter of Morgan ap Gwillims, who was inturn third son of Sir Robert WHITNEY of Whitney, Herefordshire. Thistheory has been discredited on chronological grounds in two articles, oneby Donald Lines Jacobus and the other by Paul C. Reed.

A recently-discovered clue is the baptism of a certain Thomas, son ofRobert WHETNEY, on 14 Jul 1560 in the parish of St. Andrew's Holborn,London. This person is of the right age to be Thomas of Westminster, andthe latter named a son Robert. Furthermore, the baptism of a certainJohn, son of Robert WHITNEY is recorded on 27 Sep 1567, St. Mary'sLambeth, Surrey, and Thomas of Westminster also named a son John. It istempting to believe that both records refer to the same Robert WHITNEY,who had sons Thomas and John, of whom Thomas was the Westminster man,naming sons Robert and John after his father and brother. Of courseThomas's son John was probably named for John BRAY, his grandfather, aswell.

Note: I will have to follow this continuing research. Meanwhile I think I will leave the old, largely discredited, ancestry in place for awhile.
