From "The Whitney Family of Connecticut & its Affiliations from 1649 to 1878" by Stephen Whitney Phoenix, 1878:
Henry Whitney, b. in Norwalk, Conn., 18 Aug. 1791; an edge-tool maker; married in Bedford, N.Y., 14 March 1810, in his nineteenth year, Lucy Grumman, who was of the same age, born in Norwalk, 2 July 1791, dau. of Jeremiah and Hannah (Fitch) Grumman. They lived in Wilton, Conn., till May 1819, when they moved to Ohio, settling, 19 June 1819, in Sharon, Richland Co., where he built a log-cabin, with a stick and clay chimney. This gave them shelter till 1824, when, as the Indians and wolves were very plenty, he required something stronger, and built a block-house of white oak timber, hewn ten inches thick by three feet wide, into which he moved 30 March 1828, and had a son born next day. The house was long since made into sidewalks. About 1834, he laid out into building lots a part of his farm, on the west side of the Black Fork, in Sharon, which was the beginning of the flourishing village of Shelby, containing, in 1874, about two thousand inhabitants. She died in Shelby, 22 Jan. 1847, on the same farm where they first settled, and was buried there. He married (2d), 20 Nov. 1848, Sarah Johnson, from Vermont, who was born in 1805, dau. of Charles and Sarah Johnson. She was living at Shelby, in 1873. He suffered paralysis in 1862, died in Shelby, 25 March 1864, and was buried on Easter Sunday, 27 March. He was a believer in the doctrine of universal salvation."
