There is a "Peter Whitmee" listed in the telephone directory living in
New Brunswick.
That variation of the name was derived from "Whitmey", although some
years ago a woman in Nanaimo whom I contacted whose maiden name was
"Whitmee" had never heard of "Whitmey" and assumed it was derived from
her version.
If you do a search under "Whitmey", you get some hilarious "typos"
such as: Whitmey Houston, Mt. Whitmey, Pratt & Whitmey, etc.
