Larry. I am Dwight's wife!! We appreciated all the papers you sent. Not having worked on much of his father's family, I was really at a loss to understand much of it and of course he has done very little genealogy. I have always had a fear in writing down names that someone else sends me after a horrible mess I created for myself 15 years ago. I followed some line off into oblivion on the work of a DAR lineage only to learn several years later it was entirely wrong. When we went to Williamson Co in Sept. we were unable to make any solid connection to Lewis Whitbey. We were on on way home and did not spend more than a couple of hours at the post office so needless to say we probably missed quite a bit. Since that time I have been working non-stop on his JOYCE and HOLLEY lines. I was unaware that the SCOTTS moved with the WHITBEYS. Did Lewis WHITBY leave a will in Yell County? Sorry that I was not a new contact for you, but I assure you that I will gladly work with you to find out about the SCOTTS. Elusive lines are the ones I like the very most! Hope to hear from you soon.
