Thank you for the information. During this exchange I continue to research Whitton and came across The History of Jericho, Vermont by Burlington Press, publ 1916.
In it is a bio/genealogy of the Whitton family that played a prominent role in early history of Jericho c1818.The bio in the book was written by Lena (Whitton)Rice who is a daughter of John P (bro to Malvina).
Listed children of Abijah Whitton 1795-1873 and Lovina Pease are of Jericho, Vermont:
Philena
Malvina
John P
Martha
The entry for Malvina reads as follows:
) Malvina, b. in 1831, d. in 1881. She m. Herbert S.
Chapin, who was b. in 1830 and d. in 1877. They had one child,Lucian H., b. in 1857, who d. in 1906. He m. Cora M. Willey,a school teacher. She was b. in 1867. They had three children,viz.: Helen M., Mildred M., and Kendal L.
Lena Whitton Rice admits members of the family are not all known in 1916, i.e. the connection I am looking for.
