Virginia I just found the posting below on a search of the archives today. Would you please check the Woodward Baptist Church cemetery for any Whitted burials? 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.

I no longer count on headstones for accuracy. My gg grandmother's 1855 headstone reads "Margret" and all documents found (including one written by her father) spell it with the usual 'a' (Margaret). Also, although she died before I was born, all my life I've known that my grandmother's name was Annie Belle. All of her children, including my dad knew this and talked about it often. That is what is on her marriage and death certificates. I discovered only about 3 years ago that her 1933 headstone shows "Anabell". Go figure.
