Apparently both Thomas Whitney, Sr., and his son Thomas Whitney, Jr., served in King Phillip's War, although it is not clear which records apply to which.

On 21 Dec 1702, one Thomas Whitney witnessed the will of Jonathan2 Whitney of Sherborne. I see no proof as to which Thomas this was, but it could well have been Jonathan's brother, this man.
On 25 Jun 1714, he sold to his daughter Martha Whitney, spinster, and her brother Elnathan Whitney, all his real and personal estate, especially his house and 1/4 acre of ground.
He left no probate records.
Thomas immigrated to the U.S. from England with his family as a boy in 1635. He married in Watertown, MA in 1654 to Mary Kedell, who was from a neighboring farmy family. Thomas fought in King Phillip's War, 1675-1676, (aka Metacom's War) in New England. It is estimated that more than 80% of the Native Americans in the area were killed and almost 50% of the colonists were killed.
