I am a
descendant of ELI
MCWHORTER and ANNA
REAVES of Hancock
co., GA through their son WILLIAM
REAVES MCWHORTER. I am aware
that most or all of the sons of ELI and ANNA moved to TX
after the Civil War., but I have no knowledge of the fates of the daughters. If anyone who
traces their progenitors to ELI
and
ANNA would care to
correspond with me I have many questions that I am dying to ask.
I am looking
for any info on the MCWHIRTERs of Canada,
specifically: THOMAS
MCWHIRTER and MARY
CAMPBELL. THOMAS was born in
Barr by Girvan, Ayrshire, Scotland and they were married 12-Jun-1821 in the Parish of
Dailly, Ayrshire, Scotland. I wish to know who THOMAS’ parents
were and his siblings.
I am the
great-grand daughter of JOHN
STEVEN MCWHERTER. He was born
somewhere in Indiana on 9-Jan-1881. He died in Clinton, Minnesota in 1957. I received this
information from a Litchfield newspaper and my Uncle regarding his death. He married a
woman named FRANCIS CONGWELL and they had 3
or 4 children; MAUDE, LESSIE, CLAUDE and unknown. I
am LESSIE’s
granddaughter. At some point in his life JOHN lived somewhere
in Iowa then Clinton, Minnesota. I’m not sure how he fits into the “tree”,
but in searching some of the web resources, Noble, Indiana seems to be a possible place of
birth for him. My family has always been under the impression that we are of Irish descent
from his side of the family.
Looking for
information on LUCINDA MCWHORTER (b. 1819 in KY
or TN). She married a JAMES
CORBIN. Her father
is JOHN
ANDERSON MCWHORTER. I
can’t find any information on them. Can anyone help?
Seeking info on
the family of GEORGE
MCWH*RTER, who died in
Hardin co., TN sometime during early 1847. In the 1850 census, his widow, MATILDA, appeared
with three children, AARON, ANNA and NARCISSA. It appears
that MATILDA died in
1854, and the children left the county shortly thereafter. Any additional info would be
appreciated, particularly on GEORGE and his son, AARON (who
relocated to Fulton co., KY).
Searching for information on ____ MCWHIRTER who married MARY
E. HALE abt1845. She
was born in Alabama abt1827 and died in Benton co., Arkansas on 7-Oct-1892. They had 3
known sons: DAVID JAMES MCWHIRTER (b. abt1846 in
Tennessee); LORENZO DOW MCWHIRTER (b. 18-Mar-1856
in Kentucky); and, HUBBARD GILLESPIE MCWHIRTER (b.
6-Jan-1860 in Tennessee). MARY was
remarried and living in Arkansas in 1870. Her MCWHIRTER husband may
have been killed in the Civil War. I’ve found no trace of him in the 1850 or 1860
census.
I am
searching for a JEFF and EMILY MCWHIRTER who had a
daughter, ELSIE. They lived in
Aurora, MO in the first quarter of the 1900’s. I believe JEFF was a
farmer. His wife EMILY was a
half-sister to my grandmother SARAH
CATHERN JONES MAIN. EMILY was older
than SARAH, so I
don’t know if she was OLIVER JONES child or CORNELIA GRIFFEN’s child, my
grandmother’s parents. Does anyone recall seeing these names?
Looking for
info on WILLIAM THOMAS “Buck” MCWHORTER (b.
8-Jul-1797, Lincoln co., KY; d. 4-Jul-1877 Collins near Denton, TX [this info
questionable]). He married POLLY
E. MOORE Aug-1819 in
Casey co., KY. He moved to Casey co., in 1830 and then moved to TX in 1850. Any help will
be appreciated.
Looking for
info on descendants of ELIJAH MCWHORTER and MARY
POLLY PIGG. ELIJAH and MARY had nine
children; one son JESSE H. MCWHORTER m. LUCINDA BENGE and they had
son JAMES MCWHORTER who m. MILLIE MCQUEEN (b. abt1866).
JAMES & MILLIE had 13
children including HARVY
MCWHORTER, my grandfather. Other names were LINDSAY, LIZZIE, LOULDA, MAHALA, NANNIE, PERRY, ROBERT, ETTA, ANCE & JIMMIE. I can find
nothing about any of the above. The only info I have is that my grandfather was married to
a PEARL CAVINS and he died
in 1936. She remarried to some one named ALLEN and died in
Cincinnati, OH abt1961. HARVY is buried in
Maple Grove cem. In Brookville, IN. His sons EDGAR and CHARLIE
are also buried
there. Can anyone shed some light on any of the above individuals? Patricia McWhorter
