Pinckney A. Whitener(b.1834), moved to Burke Co. from Catawba county to be a circuit riding minister. He founded a church there. He married Mariah Duckworth(?) -sure about the "Mariah", only 90% sure on the "Duckworth".They were both still alive in Burke on the 1900 census. Children known: Socrates Alonzo (moved to Lincoln Co.), A.C.(his twin), and a James A.or Jason A. I am seeking information on DUCKWORTHs who would have a daughter Mariah who married a minister. Also would have interest in name of church Rev. Whitener founded. I believe it still exists. - Julie Cline Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I believe it still exists. - Julie Cline The history of the Weidner/Whitener family includes Pinckney Alexander Whitener and his wife Dicy Mariah Brendle. This history is by Anne Williams McAllister, /Heinrich Weidner 1717-1792 [and] Catharina Mull Weidner 1733-1804: Through Four Generations/ (privately printed 1992), vol. I. Anne probably still has copies available for sale. She also published vol. II. It is a big book -- 970 pages plus an extensive index. Contact me if you want Anne's email address. P. 895: records Pinckney Alexander Whitener as the son of Ephraim and Delila (Propst) Whitener. P. 923: gives an account of Pinckney who was born 25 august 1833, died 29 October 1911, buried at Mountain Home Baptist Church cemetery in Burke County. Married 11 February 1854 to Dicy Mariah Brendle. The biography includes excerpts from a paper entitled "Brief History of the Family of the Rev. Pinkney [sic] Alexander Whitener and Dicey Mariah Brendle, their Ancestors and Descendants" by Russell Pinkney Whitener, Sr. It says that Pinckney was an ordained Baptist minister but does not identify the church he founded -- perhaps it is the church where he is buried.
