Hi Margie, I know just what you mean but I don't think on this man that I have two records that transcribe the name the same way. I thought one carved in stone would at least give me something to reference for a starting point. Jane Margie <[email protected]> wrote: I no longer count on headstones for accuracy.

The name "Neugene Whitted" (listed below as being involved in the transaction establishing the church property) interests me particularly. My line is through Gideon Whitted who appears in the 1810 and 1820 Chester Co Census through his son Davis C. Whitted. By 1830 he has moved into GA and died there in 1835. There are only three or four Whitted families in Chester that early, John, William, Gideon, and Nazerus-this name is spelled every way you can imagine in documents and Whitted frequently is transcribed as Whitehead or Whithead, even as Whitten. Of these, Nazerus appears to be the only one old enough to be Gideon's father, if he is. Also, if you know, is the name "Neugene" from an inscription or a transcription. If it is carved in a stone, it might represent the most accurate name we have so far. >Thanks for any help you can give, >Jane > >========================================================================= >Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2003 21:42:54 -0400 >From: "E.

Jane I checked the Woodward Baptist Church cemetery list and did not find any WHITTEDs listed. However, on page 299 of ''Colvin and Allied Families'' by Ethelle and Baker Colvin, Hurley Printing & Stationery Co., El Dorado, AR ....... there is yet another spelling* [probably transcription error] of your ''Nazerus'' Whitted >> The Chester [SC] News October 26, 1950 Dedication Service Sunday . . . . text omitted . . . . . . the history of the church . . . was written and read by Arthur Cornwell . . . . ''If we look back to 1789, we will see the beginning of this church, for on that date the church was constituted. The present brick building was erected in 1830. Previous to that time there were two wooden structures. The first church was down on Sandy River on land owned by Eli Cornwall. Then in 1800 it was decided to move the church to a more convenient location. The second church was built in 1803, because it was under date of October 11, 1802, the one and one-forth acre of land were purchased from John Franklin. This purchase was made by Elder William Woodward, Richard Evans, Eli Cornwell, Daniel Price, Henry Carter, Mason Huey, Jacob Dunagan, Nobley Coates, and *NEGUENS WHITTED*. These men were trustees appointed for the purpose of buying a site for the church. The amount paid to John Franklin was three hundred dollars. This deed was witnessed by Jacob Bennett and Charles Boyd. It is recorded in the office of Clerk of Court in Deed Book I, pages 111, 112, and ! 113, under date of October 11, 1802. It is, therefore, probably that the second wooden church was a temporary structure -- serving until a brick church could be built. This second wooden church was erected beyond the cemetery in the direction of Chester. Tradition has it that the brick used in the present edifice was brought from England. Elder William Woodward, for whom the Woodward Baptist church was named, was the son of Thomas Woodward of Fairfield County. William Woodward was born in 1763 and died in 1820. A tablet on the walls of the church bears this inscription ''October, 1830 Sacred to the memory of Elder William Woodward, who departed this life in the year of our Lord 1820, on the 23rd day of July; Aged 57 years, 9 months and 18 days. This tablet is erected to His Memory by this church, which was planted by his instrumentality through the indulgence of a kind Providence, A D 1789. He was, also, the means of planting some, and building up many of the neighboring Baptist churches. In consideration of his many virtues this church has unanimously consented to be known for the future by the name of the '' Woodward Baptist Church of Christ. . . . . text omitted . . . The official old records of the church were unfortunately lost in a fire some years ago, when the home of Mrs. Lily Mobley Douglas burned. The first pastor I can find record of was the Rev. George Washington Pickett. He was called in 1853. Mr. Pickett was born in King George County, Virginia, August 30, 1828, and died April 15, 1907. He moved to Texas in 1871. When Mr. Pickett was pastor of Woodward church he lived in the old Eli Cornwall house, which was situated on the plantation now owned by the family of Mrs. Nanie Hardin Wilks. The old Cornwall graveyard is not far from the site of this house.'' << ==END== Sorry I could not be of more help on WHITTEDs.

Thank you, Every little bit helps. Are there unmarked graves in the church cemetery? If not, then he was probably buried at the homesite. Jane "E. Y.
