Hi Mary, thanks for responding to my question. My Whitley family settled in Red Boiling Spgs. Taylor Whitley arrived in Macon Co. in the early 1800's. Taylor was the s/o Jonas. My line is Jonas, Taylor, Kinchen and Jonas (my grandfather). My grandmother is Martha T. West. I have no information on Martha. In the Hoke West book (pg 288), I find a Martha T. d/o George T. and Josephine Dillard. The date given for Martha's birth is 1866; the date I have for Martha is 1867. I think there is a good possibility that this is my grandmother, however I have no way of tying her in with the Whitley's. Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much. The information I need is the family of Martha T. West, that was married to Jonas Whitley. Someone may have information on Martha T. West's (pg 288 Hoke West's book) siblings that would help to tie Martha in to the Whitley family, if in fact this is my grandmother. I do now know the name of any of her siblings. Thanks for responding, and I would appreciate any information you may have. I live in Oregon but I grew up in Pleasant Shade (Smith Co.) Tn.

I do not see Jonas Whitley son of Kinchen Whitley in Macon County census after 1880. We have him listed mistakenly as James in that census. I do not find a Martha West in that census. Have you checked Smith County, TN website for marriages? Joyce Stasel <jstaze@comcast.net> wrote: Hi Mary, thanks for responding to my question. My Whitley family settled in Red Boiling Spgs.
