The 1870 census of Gardiner, Kennebec Co., Maine Shows William A. Sylvester, age 39, "Works in Saw Mill", and his wife Jane L., age 35 and their children Nelly, Hattie, Winnie, and Willie. Also listed with the family were Nelly Whitney, age 22 and Olive Whitney, Milliner, age 61. All were born in Maine

The 1860 census for Gardiner also has Olive Whitney, Millliner, age 50 listed with William and Jane Sylvester, along with Frances Whitney, Harriet Whitney, Chester Whitney, Zilpha Whitney, and Ellen Sylvester.

The 1850 census of Newcastle, Lincoln Co., Maine has Gorham Whitney, age 44, Cooper, Olive, Ruth A, Caroline P., Jane M., Frances, Gorham M., Harriet, Chester, and Zylpha Whitney, all born in Maine.

The 1840 census shows Gorham Whitney and his family living in Gardiner.

The 1830 census does nto list a Gorham Whitney, but based upon the ages of his children in 1840, he was probably just married in 1830, and probably living with relatives.
