Thanks for the information, Rick....I have one correction to make, the document that H.P. Wilhite made his mark on was not a marriage license, it was a marriage affadavit...not sure why they needed one as opposed to a license, maybe someone more familiar with Indiana marriage laws and customs could enlighten me...thanks, Madelon On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 4:57 AM, Rick Willhite <[email protected]>wrote: > > Susan Ann Batteral and Henry President Willhite > > Some additional information which might help with Susan Ann Batteral and > Henry President Willhite > > Willhite Family Bible > http://ingenweb.org/inmontgomery/bibles/willhite.htm > > Excerpts: > > "Henry President Willhite b.

Recently Footnote has added some Rev. War information, including some letters written to Washington requesting information on my John Wilhite. One page of his pension had many names that requested information and written by date of request. Requests came from Indiana, Kansas, KY and Oklahoma. A Robert Duker (3-30-1938)from Martinsville, Indiana stated John was his wife's gggrandfather. He also stated Lucy Stapp was John's second wife. (I question this) Any feed back on a first wife named ? Smith married to John? I have John and Lucy Stapp married c 1769 in Orange County. In 1936 a lawyer Jos. A Guthrie, stated one of John's daughters (Martitia)married Alexander Guthrie. Other names were Stafford, Messeur, Simpson etc. There is information on Tobias (John's brother) and his family. My Tobias was John's son and I believe named for his brother. This avenue seems a wealth of information if you haven't visited the site before.
