ResearchLawrence M. Snow: Levi was Dolly's first husband, not Henry. Henry was Levi's father. I know the Whitney website has the same error, mistaking Henry for Levi. The error apparently originated with "The History of the Town of Marlborough Windham County Vermont" by Reverend Ephraim H. Newton.

Reverend Newton got it right once. On page 241 he wrote:

"SAWTELL, Levi, b. in Phillipstown, Mass., m.Dolly, dau. Of Capt. Nathaniel Whitney, Jan. 22, 1791. She was b. in Marlborough, July 29, 1774. … Children: … Jerusha, b. Jan 1, 1793, m. Samuel Snow, of Coler
Unfortunately, on page 268, in the entry for Nathaniel Whitney, he wrote:

"Dolly, b. July 29, 1774, m. Henry Sawtell, at the age of 15;"4

BiographyHistory of the Town of Marlboro, from the "Gazetteer and Business Directory of Windham County, Vt., For 1724-1884," Compiled and Published By Hamilton Child. Published 1884. Page 248-255. :

Nathaniel, Jr., one of his eleven children, married Sally STEWART, of Brattleboro, and lived on the homestead in Marlboro, where he died in July, 1852, aged seventy-three years. He had seven sons and three daughters, all of whom are dead, except Harriet Maria, who lives in West Brattleboro, aged seventy years. The place, after belonging to the WHITNEY family for more than a century, has passed into the hands of strangers. Nathaniel WHITNEY, Jr., had twenty-four grandchildren, only four of whom are residents of Marlboro. Among these is Brutus M. WHITNEY, (son of Emory, eldest son of Nathaniel, Jr.) who resides on road 11. After the settlement of the WHITNEY family in Marlboro, three of the WHITNEY brothers, named Jonas, Samuel and Eliphalet, followed and settled here, where some of their descendants still reside.
