He was admitted freeman May 26, 1647 aged twenty three years. He was selectman from 1673 to 1680 inclusive. His homestead was a three acre lot on the east side of Lexington street, the next lot south of the Phillips homestead. He was a soldier in King Philip's war under Captain Hugh Mason. He died October 12, 1692.

John2 Whitney (John1), son of John1 and Elinor (-----) Whitney, was baptized 14 Sep 1621, Isleworth, co. Middlesex, England,and died 12 Oct 1692 at Watertown, MA.

John married about 1642, Ruth Reynolds, daughter of Robert and Mary (-----) Reynolds. She had been born in England, date and exact place unknown, and died after 27 May 1695, when she was living at Watertown, MA.

In September, 1631, his father placed him in the Merchant Tailors school - where, according to the registers, he remained as long as the family were in England.

He came to New England with his parents and his brothers in the "Elizabeth and Ann," from London, in April 1635. His age was recorded as 11 years, although he was 13.

He and Ruth Reynolds lived in Watertown, MA, from the time of their marriage until his death, on a 3-acre lot on the east side of Lexington Street, on land granted to Edward How, and the next lot south of the residence of the Phillips family, and is probably the same ground occupied in 1855 by his great-great-grandson Bradshaw Whitney. The ground is somewhat elevated, and there is little doubt that it is the "Whitney Hill" sometimes mentioned in the records.

He was admitted freeman on 26 May 1647 at MA.
