Arrival 1875

The Whitney family set foot in Japan firstly on 3rd August 1875.
The member was:

William Cogswell Whitney  aged 50

Anna Lavina Whitney (née Mockridge)  41

Willis Norton Whitney 19 

Clara A. Whitney 14

Adelaide Norton Whitney 7

I've found a newspaper article mentioned their departure from San Francisco. The family of W. H. Whitney [sic] was among the passengers list of Oceanic.

Pacific Appeal, 17 July 1875, p.1.

Here it is an evidence of their arrival.

The Japan Weekly Mail, 7 Aug, 1875, p.686.

ARRIVALS.

Aug. 3, Oceanic, British steamer, Jennings, 2,700, from San Francisco,...

PASSENGERS.

Per Oceanic from San Francisco. ― Mr. and Mrs W. C. Whitney, M. C. Whitney, ... W. N. Whitney,...

“M. C. Whitney” must be a misprint for “C. A. Whitney” or “Misses C. and A. Whitney.” I suppose that Adelaide was too little to be mentioned.
