I am
looking for a copy of the book entitled Descendants of MOSES
MCWHORTER and Related Families by Anna Harman Bowman that is
listed several times on the McWh*rter Website as a resource. I have called to find the All
Printing Company in Oklahoma City, but they are not listed. The book was only published in
1987, so I cant believe its not readily available somewhere. Do you have information
on where I could obtain a copy? I am a direct descendant of MOSES, and Im looking for more information. Thanks!
I am looking for information on LAURA ISABETH MCWHORTER (b. abt1804 in SC; d.
abt1852 in Dalton, GA), m. LEWIS DUNCAN MCDONALD. Children: HARRISON; FRANCIS M.; JOHN L.; WILLIAM
D.; MOSES H.; MARION L.
(twin); STEPHEN H. (twin). Any
information would be very much appreciated.
Looking for information on ELBERT S. (Sutton?) MCWHORTER and wife, MATILDA WATSON. They were from the Kentucky
area and migrated to Arizona in the 1870s. They had a child, NORA ANN MCWHORTER, on the way born around
Kansas in 1873. NORA married a JAMES MADERS in AZ. Any info would be greatly
appreciated.
A poem titled "Ancestry", written by CHARLES C. MCWHORTER, appeared in the June
1997 issue of the Charlotte County (Florida) Genealogical Society newsletter. It begins
"I am the fruit of a million years" and ends "For thousands move in my
surging blood, and millions walk behind". I want to secure Mr. McWhorters
permission to include this poem in my Hyer family history book to be published this year.
Can someone put me in touch with him?
I am looking for help on the MCQUARTERS name. The earliest name I have is
JOSEPH MCQUARTERS, (b. 1836,
Chatham, England. He was a glass manufacturer. He married 1st JANE
HAMILTON and 2nd ELIZABETH
LATHAM. JOSEPH came to New Zealand in 1911 and died 11-Nov-1926. There is one known son
- WILLIAM HENRY MCQUARTERS.
Im wondering if someone can
tell me why researchers all seem to agree that MOSES
MCWHORTER, who we believe was married to a MARLIN, died around 1856/57? If this is true
Im wondering about something DAVIS L. MCWHORTER wrote in 1953. He states that in the will of MARGERY
MARLIN in Chester Co., PA (1769) that along with a bequest to
AGNES FERRIER and ELIZABETH, wife of WILLIAM MCWHORTER, part of her property was
left to JOHN ROBINSON,
"with whom she had lived twenty years." Were MARGERY and MOSES
separated before MOSES died?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I found this statement in an article titled
"McWhorter Compendiums - Moses McWhorter" by DAVIS
L. MCWHORTER, Bethel, N.C., November 1953. This original is
in the Davis L. McWhorter Papers, Collection No. 230, at East Carolina University,
Greenville, NC. This has caused me to wonder what basis we have for MOSES time of death.
I am looking for info on the THOMAS MCWHIRTER family from Ireland. He and
his wife SARAH moved to the
United States some time after 1846. They had three sons that I know of, SAMUEL (b. 1836); JAMES H. (b. 1843); and, GEORGE (b. 1846). They lived in Vermont from
about 1860 to 1870. I found them on the 1860 census, 1870 census and then no record of
them in 1880. I know that SAMUEL
died in 1874, I am his direct descendant. What happened to JAMES and GEORGE
after 1870? Where did they go? If anyone has any info please let me know.
Looking for any information on JOHN THOMAS MCWHIRTER (b. 18??; d. 1916 or
1917), last known location Chester co., TN. He married MARY
"Mollie" ROUSE. Known child: MARGARET "Maggie" LUCINDA MCWHIRTER
who married MANSOL HURST in
Chester co., TN. Probable child: LULA MAE MCWHIRTER who married an unknown EASLEY - then married a SAULSBERRY. Possible child (or brother to JOHN THOMAS): GEORGE MCWHIRTER. The story told by my mother was that in 1916 or 1917 the family (except
for Maggie and one cousin named JIM EASLEY) died in a flu epidemic. My grandmother (Maggie) took Jim into her home
and raised him. Obviously, LULA MAE did not die, as she remarried and had more children. I would like any
info, particularly JOHN THOMAS
parents names and siblings names.
We found a Bible which was owned
by a MARY MAY MCWHORTER in a box
of books in the attic of our Grandmothers house. According to its inscription, it
was given to Ms. MCWHORTER by
her mother and father at Christmas in 1899. The Bible contains a number of newspaper
clippings of poems, cartoons, and wedding announcements (including that of Miss ISIS HUTTON and Mr. KINSLEY MCWHORTER, Miss MAIE MCWHORTER and Dr. EDMUND UPSHUR POTTER in 1917). My 86 year old
Grandma worked as a domestic for a number of years, and recalls only that she received a
box of books from an employer some 56 years ago, and that this Bible was among them. Is
this of interest to anyone?
I am searching for any info on my MCWHIRTER line from Scotland. My Great
Grandmothers father was a JOHN MCWHIRTER (b. cir1841 in Girvan, Ayrshire, Scotland). He married ANNE ALLAN (b. cir1844 in Kilbirnie,
Ayrshire, Scotland) on 29-Dec-1865 at Maybole, Ayrshire. JOHN and ANNE had

My Great Grandmother, ISABELLA, came to Australia at some stage and was married to a ROBERT RONALD and later a JAMES GIBSON. It is not known if ISABELLAs parents or any of her
siblings left for Australia as well. Any information on this line would be greatly
appreciated.
I would like any info about my
g-grandmothers family. She was JANE MCWHIRTER (b. 12-Apr-1832 in Monkton, Ayrshire, Scotland). Her parents were HUGH MCWHIRTER (b. 25-Dec-1806, Cairntop,

I am searching for information
regarding a SERENA FRANCES MCWHORTER (b. 17-Feb-1852 in AL). She married ROBERT
SMITH and they were definitely living in Munford, Talledega
co, AL when their son, THOMAS W. SMITH was born in 1872. ROBERT supposedly died or disappeared in 1881 and SERENA moved to Texas where she re-married a man by the name of TOLBERT. They eventually settled in
Clarksville, AR where SERENA
died 11-Jul-1937. Other children, besides THOMAS, were MATTIE, JESSIE, and EFFIE, all girls, all born in AL.
I would like information on the
McWhorter line. The furthurest I have back is MILLARD FILMORE
MCWHORTER Sr. (b. 21-Feb in Polk co., GA). He was the son of MARTHA "Mary" MCELROY (b.
14-Aug-1833 in GA) and MOSES MCWHORTER (b. abt 1824 in SC).
Does anyone have more data on M. M. MCWHORTER [db#22455] (b. 13-Jun-1852)?
In searching for THOMAS FRANK MCWHORTER (b. Jun-1852) I wonder if M. M. has been assigned to the wrong family. He
is also listed in some places as FRANKLIN A. MCWHORTER. My THOMAS FRANK MCWHORTER married MALISSA CAROLINE STARNES and had five (5) children in Rowena, Russell co., KY: PERRY FRANK (b. 1877 in KY; d. 1957 in
Uniontown, KY); DORA A. (b. 1880
in KY); BETTY JANE (b.
27-Oct-1884 in Jamestown, KY; d. 1970 in Hillsboro, IL) married WILLIAM LEE BRUMMITT 6-Mar-1909 in IL; JESSE F. (b. 1887 in KY); and FLORENCE (b. 1889 in KY). Who are THOMAS FRANK MCWHORTERs parents? I
would appreciate any clues.
I am researching a Rev. G. W. MCWHERTER (or MCWHORTER), active in last half of the 19th
century in Knox co., OH. He may be the same as GEORGE W.
MCWHORTER in Hill, N. N., Jr., 1881, HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY,
OHIO, page 483, under the history of the Centreburgh Cumberland Presbyterian Church (later
renamed the Rich Hill Cumberland Presbyterian). He served there as pastor for 1872. At one
point we find him attempting to raise funds for a home for orphans by soliciting donations
from schoolchildren. I am trying to help the Knox County Historical Society to find if the
project was ever completed, and who this man was. Perhaps he has descendants who know the
story? Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
I am looking for info on my great
grandmother ALSIRA ELLE MCWHERTER SEANOR. Her father was JOHN MCWHERTER, mother unknown. Brother is PETER MCWHERTER married to MARY SWISHER on 2-Apr-1860 in Crawford co., OH. ALSIRA was born 7-Jun-1842 in Morrow co., OH, buried in Shelby, OH and married

Looking for any info on FAY (FAYE) MCWHORTER born in Vanetten, NY. He
moved to Franklin co., ID. He also spent time in Wyoming and Utah. During his later years
he traveled to New York quite often. He was married and divorced at least 3 times that I
have found so far. Once to MARY ELLEN WRIGHT, again to JULIA MERTIS CAFFERTY and last (that I know of) to my grandmother, MABEL
CARVER KIRBY. This marriage resulted in 7 children: NORMA, KATE, ILA, CONNIE, RODGER, WENDALL and VIRGIL. Any help would be greatly

on HUGH E. MCWHIRTER of
Michigan. So far the only information I have been able to find is record of marriage in

railroad. Any info on this family would be appreciated. Im at a dead end.

According to WILLIAM C. MCWHIRTERs
death certificate, his father was JAMES MCWHIRTER from GA. His mothers name is hard to read, but looks like FARROW NESBIT from MS. (I am not completely
sure of the death certificates accuracy, but have nothing else to go on.) Any help
and/or information on the Georgia McWhirter family and possible connections is greatly
appreciated.
