I totally missed it somehow when it came in, and that is why my comeback is so late. William WHITLOCK (Sr.) has been a "brickwall" for me, and you may have knocked it down. But I still have some unanswered questions to find, and your information may help. If you notice, William Jr. was born in 1826, when Julia Ann would have been just 13. I have a marriage record that shows that William Sr. married Julia Ann in Floyd Co. in 1835, so Julia Ann MONAGHAN was NOT the mother of William Jr. I firmly believe that William and his first wife, who I have not been able to identify, also had a daughter named Eliza Ann who was about 8 years older than William, Jr., but like him, was born in Kentucky before William Sr. came to Floyd Co. Eliza Ann WHITLOCK was my gg-gmother, who married Hiram HOPPER in Floyd Co. just a week or two before Eliza Ann's father married Julia Ann (in 1835). Hiram and Eliza Ann settled in Greenville at about the same time that William (Sr.) and Julia Ann left Greenville for Lafayette Township. I suspect that William either gave his Greenville pro! perty to his daughter and her husband, or perhaps it was adjacent. If I may ask, how were you able to determine the birth and death dates for William, Sr. and Julia Ann? One other item that I almost forgot...Hiram HOPPER was a bricklayer living in Cincinnati when he married Eliza Ann, and they returned to that city after they were married to live and start raising their family. About 19 years later, soon after they moved to Floyd Co., Eliza Ann died during or after giving birth to their 6th or 7th child. Hiram went on to marry twice again, and he and all three of his wives are buried in Greenlawn Cemetery in Greenville, along with some of the children from all three wives.
