Has the Whitley Collection been indexed? I understand Mrs. Whitley researched a family in which I am interested, and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could do a lookup in the Collection. BTW, where is the Collection located? My line of interest is - Luella LEEK born 16 July 1895, Davidson Co., Tn, married William Wirt HARLIN. Luella LEEK's parents: Mary Wood SMITH born 26 July 1870, Franklin Co, Tn, married Thomas O. LEEK 24 Jan 1893, Davidson Co, Tn. Thomas born 7 Jan 1869. Mary Wood SMITH's parents: M. Luella CARTER born 23 May 1849, Rutherford Co., Tn, married John Preston SMITH 4 Nov 1869. Luella CARTER SMITH died 20 Dec 1885, Beans Creek, Franklin Co, Tn. Pres SMITH born 23 Feb 1848, Beans Creek, Franklin Co, Tn; died 5 Sep 1925 New Market, Madison Co, Al. Pres SMITH's parents: Mourning Woods MILLER born 15 Mar 1818, Tn; died 16 Mar 1889 Beans Creek, Franklin Co, Tn; married Robert Cox SMITH 4 June 1839 Franklin Co, Tn. Bob SMITH born 25 Jan 1815, Tn, and died 12 Jan 1865, Beans Creek, Franklin Co, Tn. Bob SMITH's parents: Phoebe DENTON born 1770; died 1843 Lincoln Co, Tn; married William SMITH 4 Sep 1792, Davidson Co, Tn. William SMITH born 17 Feb 1762, Lunenburg Co, Va, and died Sep 1839, Lincoln Co, Tn. William was a Captain in the American Revolution. Robert Cox SMITH (1815-1865) signed a paper agreeing to not interfere with the United States' war against the "so-called Confederate States." In return the United States would not harm him, his family, or his property. On the back of the agreement was Bob Smith's height, hair color, and eye color. If a copy of this document is in the Whitley Collection, I would like a photocopy of it. Also, Bob Smith is supposed to have been an Elder in the Primitive Baptist Church. If she has any information concerning this, I would like to know. If someone could let me know if info on this family is in the Whitley Collection, I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Jennie Lee
Hi Jennie, I do not think that the Edythe Rucker Whitley collection,has been indexed. The Williamson Co Library,Franklin,Tn,has it. Go to the Williamson Co,Tn rootsweb page. There's a link there,to the library.
