Doug, I have Abijah Whitt, Sr., b. 1757, SC., s/o Richard Whitt and prob. Susannah Skaggs, m. 1792, Elizabeth (Betty) Elswick, b. 1771, d/o "Rev. War" John Elswick and Susana. References for this information are the Archibald Thompson Diary, transcript by Lula Hankins Hunter, posted at http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/archibald which has Betty, b. 1771, as d/o John Elswick, and Cal Ingram's gendex posted at http://www.inficad.com/~cingram/warren/fowndx.htm#Thompson Because this family connects to so many of my Thompson-Skagg-Lorton lines, I am interested in your references, not only to Abijah, but also to Polly Lorton and Nancy Compton. Does your Abijah tie to the Richard Whitt who was a witness in the 1836 Moses Skaggs Estate Suit in Green Co., Ky.? Here's an excerpt, from a transcript posted at the Skagg list in 1997. "From Green County, KY, File #387l Deposition of William Ratliff: I was acquainted with Moses Skaggs of Green County Kentucky. He had four sisters to wit: Susannah who married one Richard Whit, Betsy or Elizabeth, who md. John Hankins. Lydia who married Mathias Harman and Nancy who md. William Meridy. . . ." I will appreciate any information you can give me.
