Eli Whitney's grandparents were Benjamin Whitney and Mary (née McCulloch) Whitney on his paternal side, and on his maternal side, they were Nathaniel Ellsworth and Mary (née Hart) Ellsworth. Benjamin Whitney was a farmer and a soldier in the American Revolutionary War, while Nathaniel Ellsworth was also a farmer. Their backgrounds contributed to Eli Whitney's upbringing in a family that valued education and hard work.
