I am looking

PA, specifically on his service during the Revolutionary War. I have seen many references

fought. Does anyone know which unit(s) WILLIAM was assigned
to, and if any type of proof of his service is available through NARA?

A long while
back, 10 to 20 years, I came across two notes in books. Both have puzzled me since then.
One was the will of THOMAS
MCWHIRTER 1769 of Middle Octoraro Creek, Lancaster, PA (on border with Chester co.)
– wife deceased, sons: ALEXANDER, HUGH & MOSES. As a
descendant of WILLIAM>WILLIAM?>GEORGE
MARLIN MCWHIRTER>ALEXANDER
HAMILTON MCWHIRTER>GEORGE
MARLIN MCWHIRTER>WADE
HAMPTON MCWHIRTER>ERNEST POWELL MCWHIRTER (1906), I am still intrigued by my old cousin DAVIS’s
assertion that MOSES was our
forefather. I always record any MOSES for that reason. Has anyone ever reported descent from this THOMAS?

are bur. in Woodlawn Cemetery, Nashville, TN. At my birth in Feb-1934 I was given the name
ROSALIE PAULA MCWHORTER and was given
up for adoption three days after my birth by a PAULINE MCWHORTER whose age at
the time was given as 21 years. I would love to hear from someone that knew her and her

grandchildren.

Seeking info about POLLY MCWHORTER who m. JOHN ARMSTRONG. I don’t know the dates of birth or marriage, but one of their children, ANNIE ARMSTRONG, married ANTHONY VAUGHAN in 1765. POLLY and JOHN lived and probably died in Orange co., NY. His will was probated in 1797. The only info I have about POLLY MCWHORTER has come from the Orange County (NY) Genealogy Society.

Jane Rezac
My grandfather
listed his mother as VICTORIA MCWHORTER (b. 1861; d.
Sep-1895)(“M.
V. MASSEY” on her
gravestone). His father was WILLIAM
PERMEANUS MASSEY. I can find
no record of their marriage although the grave of their infant son is in Doty Springs,
Attala co., MS. VICTORIA lived in
Kosciusko until her death. A local genealogist noted that VICTORIA was a sister to EASTER
MINSCHEW. WILLIAM & VICTORIA are listed in
the 1880 Attala co., MS census with their 1st son, JOHN
R. MASSEY. Evidently
they were listed in another census living in the home of ISAAC
MCWHORTER in Attala
co., MS. A handwritten note (author unknown) states that VICTORIA was M. V. SOLOMON and married W.
P. MASSEY 2 or
12-May-1878. Other info indicates that
FRANCES MCWHORTER (ISAAC’s dau.) who m. R.
SOLOMON, was VICTORIA’s
mother. A FANNIE
SOLOMON is listed as head of household in the 1870 census with dau. VICTORIA age 9; she
lived next to PINKNEY
B. MCWHORTER. I have not
been able to confirm any of the above marriages or anything at all abt
R. SOLOMON. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Victoria Harris

Searching for SARAH MCQUARTER (b. abt 1814 in
TN). She m. JAMES BILLINGS abt 1834,
likely in TN. They had 9 children: NANCY, MALSINA, GEORGE, ELIZINA, JAMES, JOHN, MCQUARTER, MARY and ELISHA. This family is living in Greene co., MO in 1850. This is the only
information I have on this family. I am at a complete brick wall. Any information will be
welcome and very appreciated.
Teresa Williams

26-May-1817 prob. in VA; m. abt1844 WILLIAM S. HUNT); raised 6 children in OH;

live. Looking for parents, siblings or any info.
