Elinor ( ) Whitney (c1599 - 1659) was born probably between 1597 and 1599 at London, England. Also known as Ellen and Ellin, she died at about 60 years of age at Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. She became the first wife of John Whitney before 1619, at or near London, England.

Tudor Place lists:

• Thomas BRAY
• Born: 1575
• Father: John BRAY
• Mother: Margaret HASLONDE
• Married: UNKNOWN
• Children:

1. Eleanor BRAY (b. 1603 - d. 11 May 1659) m. John Whitney, who, if she was or is proven to be of the BRAY Family, (Which she has to date, NEVER been documented or verified in any formal manner or in any citations, to be considered serious, anywhere known, as such.), then, it would make him, her first cousin.
2. Mary Bray married to Sir Thomas Whitney, IS however, verified as John Bray´s and Margaret Haslonde´s child.

Please note that Tudor Place is a privately run personal-interest website, which has not verified in any way, nor answered emails querying them, "If Ellinor married to John Whitney was actually, a Bray and if there is any substantial verified proof, of this?" Further research into the parentage of Elinor Bray is warranted.
