To the person who is having trouble identifying *which Wilhite* in Fayette Co., VA-KY, this is to advise that in trying to solve Kentucky problems, I have found deeds--and sometimes even just the deed indexes--have helped me solve some relationship problems. I have ordered from time to time from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City just the grantor and grantee indexes of a Kentucky county--in fact, many Kentucky counties--and sometimes by the name of the grantor (in most cases), there will be the word *hrs* [heirs] or *&c* [others]. All this takes a lot of digging, but when you find the answer, you are willing to do a little dance--or some folks even make vocal noises--such as *yippee*. Most counties in Kentucky, unlike Virginia, have surivivng tax lists, and from time to time these tax lists have been published. If your Wilhite was married to a Stapp, then a search for both surnames on the tax lists may help answer your question. No doubt, you know all this, but every time we discover a new ancestor, we have to start all over again. A kind person on one of the rootsweb lists sent me some photocopies [legal size] of deeds and wills of some of my relatives. Now, I am having to start all over again, as one person we suspect was a Scots-Irish from Pennsylvania, but there are gaps in the years--where was he and his family--and did they leave any records? Ah, me. But this crazy hobby is addictive! E.W.Wallace Descendant of a First Germanna colonist--rather of several colonists! **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel.
