Notes for Ruth Wigglesworth

!"Five Genealogies of Bowdish and Bowditch Families in America"...by
Cyrus and Maryella Bowdish: Estimated Theodore's birth date to be about 1882. It is not known when he died.

!Leslie Caroline Whitney-Bringolf: Ruth Wigglesworth was my grandmother. I noticed you don't have the year she died, wich was 1988. Yes, she lived to be 102 years old. Did you also know that she was one of the founders of Occupational Therapy? Tufts University now offers a program that she and another lady started. Grandma had three boys in her mid forties Theodore T. Whitney JR., George W. Whitney, and Seth Dunbar Whitney. Uncle Ted had two boys Theodore T. Whitney the third (Toby), and Nathen Dunbar Whitney. George
(my Dad) had three Children, Ruth Ann Whitney , Walter Randell Whitney, and me, Leslie Caroline Whitney. Seth died in a canoe accident in the early 40's or early 50's. That's as far as I will go. If you want more info let me know, I will gladly send it out to you.
