Sandee-- I don't have any information on the Whitener to which you refer, but during the Civil War there was a very spirited skirmish on the Bollinger County farm of Solomon Whitener between Confederate guerrillas led by Sam Hildebrand and a squad of Federals belonging to Company M, 8th Provisional Enrolled Missouri Militia. By his own admission, Hildebrand claimed his group was "somewhat worsted" in the fight. I detail this skirmish in my book on Hildebrand. If you haven't seen it, I can provide you with more information. How does Solomon Whitener fit into your line? Have any family Civil War stories passed down to you over the years?
