In Reply to: Flora Sawyer WHITNEY, Hampden & Newburgh by Richard F. Packard, Sr. of 24711

The 1850 census of Hampden, ME is free at www.familysearch.org

an Elisha Whitney age 26 is shown in the home of Reuben and Eliza Whitney

On later census (most which are also availabe free at familysearch) Rueben lives next door to Elisha.

Elisha's children in 1860 are shown as:

Carrie born c1854
George born c 1856
Lizzie born c1857

In 1870 he has additional children:
Minnie born c1861
Flora born c1863
John M. born c1866
Maude born c1868
Francis born c1869/70 (may be the same person as Fred-see below)

In 1880 additional children:
Fred born c1870
Lillian born c1872
Bert born c1874
Elisha born c1876

go to www.familysearch.org and click the link on that home page that says: See prototype for searching millions of records

next click on the map of North America and a long list of available databases will pop up. Some of the census images will be free.
