I wish there was more information on Mary Miller available. I don't know IF she was the sister of William Jr. and George Whitefield. According to census information she was born in 1821 so that makes me believe she was not their sister, or at least not the daughter of Willliam Sr and Mary who was named in the lawsuit in 1822. That information that Mr. McDaniel sent shows a George Whitfield as an heir of William in the records of Johnson Co. AR. Other children are referenced in those records too, so that makes me wonder if William had a son named George Whitfield along with the Elizabeth and Mary named as children. Or was the George Whitfield named as an heir in the Johnson Co records, the same George Whitefield we know was a son of William and Mary. As far as I know, if someone dies intestate and has children, their siblings are not named as heirs.That makes me think George Whitfield was a son and not a brother of William. At the time of William's death he was married to Sarah so he had a wife and the estate would have gone to she and the children if he died intestate. In that case, George Whitfield would have been a son and not a brother. I can't stop wondering if the William who moved to Johnson Co. AR was the father of George Whitefield Aills and the rest of those men who ended up in LA and MS, William being the same person who was married to Molly Shackleford and also married to Sarah Hall. Some of those old men married and had kids after they were 60+ years old so that's not an unlikely possibility. I haven't been able to locate an Allen Lewis with a wife named Sarah to see if Sarah had children with her when she married after William's death in Johnson Co. What if William Sr packed up all the unmarried children and moved to E.Feliciana Parish after Molly died and he was the person who married Sarah Hall and he was the father of Walker, Zaccheus, George W and James Wesley? We've come such a long ways in finding out so many answers since we came together as a group that I have faith that we'll find more answers to more questions. Sometimes it's just knowing the question before we can find the answer. Thanks for responding to my missive, Liz. Sometimes I wonder if anyone even reads what I write. Maybe I just don't make sense when I'm writing even though I know what I mean.lol Sandra PS. Pam, can you work your magic and find an Allen Lewis with wife Sarah in and around Johnson Co. AR? Maybe by finding Sarah Hall Aills Lewis we can learn more about William. sz ============================== View and search Historical Newspapers.
