Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/10777 Surname: WHITEHEAD ------------------------- RE: WHITEHEAD. In a letter of 1872 written by my g-g-grandfather, James Miller (1786-1880) of Amherst Co to his nephew in St. Charles MO, he refers to Whiteheads in the following: ". . . I heard that N. (probably Napoleon) Miller wrote the death of Frances Whitehead. Mrs. Burfel (Burford?) is a little better. James Whitehead Jr. is stricken down with the fever. Dr. Thompson from Amherst Courthouse is their principal Doctor. . . "
