Surnames: Whitman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZS.2ADI/209 Message Board Post: Doc Whitman was born June of 1889, probably in Lee County, Alabama. He was the brother of my grandfather, Ira Newton Whitman, who lived in Opp, Alabama, and the son of James Whitman and Nancy Carmack. He had two sisters and several brothers, most of them who lived in South Alabama. His wife was Ethel Thomas, and they had children named J.C. (James), Ernest Lamar, Mildred, Shelby and Nadine. I'm currently doing some research on the 'James Whitman' family and would appreciate any information on Doc's family that anyone has. I have 'some' information on all of the siblings except one and would be happy to share any of it with you.
