Here is what I have now, should keep you busy for a few days. [email protected] and Claudia Vernon Medlin Jr 1409 Leanne Ct Raleigh NC 27606 919-851-8538 is searching Levi & Lydia (Scott) Whittle, parents of your Jesse. Levi is listed on the 1834, 1835, 1837, 1838, 1839 tax list of Johnson Co AR 1840 Johnson Co census 1850 Johnson Co census, Horsehead Twp 1860 Johnson Co census, Horsehead Twp, pg 991 Levi has another son William Moore Whittle (he was buried in the cemetery that Jesse was). WM was born 26 Dec 1843, d 15 Feb 1910 His wife was Elizabeth "Bettie" (also buried in that cemetery) Eglentine Hodges. They lived in Coal Hill area of Johnson Co AR. Now about Ira.....I don't know what the connection is, but I'd bet there is one. Ira is being researched by John Shaffer 800 N Hickory Salen MO 65560 and [email protected] Ira served in the same regiment as Jesse, but it looks like he never left Edgefield Co SC. In fact, he's listed as born 1819 Edgefield Co SC, died 10 Dec 1863 (probably in service during the civil war since he died in Lynchburg, Campball Co, VA and is buried in the Old City Cemtery there.) Ira's father was James Whittle Sr, b 1768, d 4 Feb 1844 Edgefield Co SC, son of Joseph. his mother was Lucretia, and his spouse was Mary A Have I confused you enough? Let me know if I can do any further checking. Good luck, Ginger in Kansas City MO
