On 19 Oct 1675, Thomas Whitney was paid £1 10s. forservice at the garrison at Lancaster in King Phillip's War. On 20 Dec1675, Thomas Whitney was paid £1 16s. for the same. On 24 Aug 1676 onewas paid 2s. 6d., the other 4s. 2d., for service from Watertown.[8] He was made a freeman on 18 Apr 1690.[9] On 21 Dec 1702, one Thomas Whitney witnessed the will of Jonathan2Whitney of Sherborne.[10] 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, andher brother Elnathan Whitney, all his real and personal estate,especially his house and 1/4 acre of ground.[11] He left no probate records.
