Looking for anyone also researching the Whittenberg/Hoyle ancestory. I find that the dates in the Our Kin book and the Peiter Heyl and his descendents book by Eliz. Hoyle Rucker are both off by about 20 years for the children of Whittenberg and Mary Anne Hoyle. Mary Anne Hoyle's birth date is also off by about 20 years. According to her obit. she lived to be 80 years died in 1845 and was born in 1765. These books have her born in 1740's. This makes me wonder if these books are off a generation for parents of Mary and perhaps the Mary that married Whittenberg was a daughter of Michael or John? John apparently did have a Mary who married a Harlick as I just found the tombstone online. Does anyone know about Michael's daughter who she married? Both are given 1867 as birth dates which would match closely with my Mary. Mary and her husband moved to Blount Co. TN where they had all their children and then moved on to Washington Co. IL where she died. Her children were active in the Methodist church, one being a minister and they moved there to establish the church there. Her son in law Col. John Phillips built a blockhouse in 1819 in IL that resembles the wellhouse online that Peiter built in NC. Her grandson was President of McKendree College. Anyone researching this family that has any more data on this birth date mixup? Thanks. Ava
