I have noticed some mention of the Whitfield family lately. I have traced my line back to John WHITEFIELD and Elizabeth THOMAS who married in 1899 in Orange Co., NC. They moved on to Tn in the 1820's and kept the WHITEFIELD spelling of the name. It appears that the WHITfield's and WHITEfield's were the same family, with the one's remaining in NC dropping the 'e' from their name. Is this correct? Has anyone here researching this family run across any info on my John? Here is the addy for my main Whitefield page: http://community-2.webtv.net/valesca/WHITEFIELD/ And here is the addy for my Whitefield index: http://community-2.webtv.net/valesca/widx/ Would appreciate any help, as I have very little time for research anymore (full time job, etc) and there are no large libraries nearby. Thanks in advance, Valesca
