Wondering if/how Macon ties into Francis Whitney and/or my Elijah Whitney who definitely were around the Mill Creek and Gross Creek area. Problem is there were Whittten/Whitton, Witten, Wheatley, Whitley, Whitely there that might actually be of the same family or totally different. Were the DeBusks from North Carolina? If so, where? Nothing prior to Washington Co.,VA on my Whitneys, but note a Francis Whitney witnessed a 1757 land purchase by Jacob Barnes in Edgecombe Co., NC and the Francis Whitney in Washington Co.'s possible son, my Elijah, was executor of the estate of a Cader Barnes in Christian Co., KY . Coincidence or clue? Will keep your Rachel in mind, please remember my Whitneys.
