Just an observation here.... I have a WHITITNGTON/CLE(A)VELAND connection that is solid. In pulling the application for a Black Hawk War pension from the National Archive I found an affidavit sworn by a CLEVELAND in which CLEVELAND is spelled two different ways AND the CLEVELAND for whom the affidavit was written signed with an "X". It was a personal epiphany. One of these days I wouldn't be surprised to find SMITH spelled JONES...:-) Norm ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2001 6:14 AM Subject: Re: SPELLING....many reasons.. > Speaking of variant spellings, sometimes it is even within one household at > one time or another.

Speaking of variant spellings, sometimes it is even within one household at one time or another. I have a 3rd great grandmother who spelled her maiden name Sarah MOSELEY -- her brother spelled his Samuel Gathright MOZLEY. To this day here in Douglas County there are both Moseleys and Mozleys, and they are all descendants of the same 18th century couple in Bedford County, Virginia.

Hello Lizzie and Love, It sounds that you two have really gotten into the spelling and the prounciation on our Whittington relatives. Right...many of the people who were taking the census were writing these names as they were spoken. Depending where the people lived, their spoken words were governed by the dialect of the area. In a large area you could hear many different prounciations of the same" single word." Remember there very few people who not only couldn't spell but couldn't write either. In my research...I have found anything from Whiteington ..Whitington Whittington Whittenton to Whiting. If you have never seen the word name before you have to depend on how well you knew which letters or letter combinations produced which phonetic sounds./. Education of the people in those early days was not a priority. And then again...some people changed them for a special reason. Good luck with the research.

Lovell Lee wrote: >But, why did the census takers change the spelling in several states and/or >places and not in others? Several branches of WHITTINGTONs originate in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, alongside the Welsh border. While looking there for my great-grandmother's family I found that in 1881 they were enumerated as WHITTENTON. All their personal documents have them as WHITTINGTON. However ... ... the Gloucestershire accent would pronounce the word as WHITTENTON. If you find it spelled thus in the US, especially in mining areas, it could be worth looking for the ancestors in the Forest. This ancient woodland sits over enormous coal reserves and I know that many WHITTINGTONs born in the Forest are given as dying in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania and such-like places. There was much emigration, an when people gave their name, they did not necessarily know how it was spelt. Don't know how they pronounce it in Sussex ... maybe likewise. Lizzie LOVE

Hello Merry, I wish I could give you more info about my Minerva Whittington or her family, but that is all I know, which makes it hard to find anything else. She only lived during two census years, and I never could find her with her parents in 1860. She died when she was about 17 or 18 after having two children. She married when she was about 13 or 14. Thanks for trying to help me, I wish I knew more to tell you. Maurine

HelloSally, I have been reading your letter to Michael re: grandparents/ ancestors. Now, have you any idea from which country these ancestors came from? Was from it England or Island of Wight ? What possible area? I have one Whittington " Daniel" b. 1800 /03 Sussex England in our Tree who came with his first wife Jane Bishop and two sons James Martin b. 1826 and William 1827 back in the County of Sussex in England. The family came to Australia on a grant of farm land from the Government of England. They settled in the Swan River, W.A. , Australia.It looks like Daniel had three spouses over his period of life. Check this out. I loved to share information with you.

Thanks Tim for the interest you are showing re...Whittington follow-ups. I'll make note of William Whittington born 1616 in Gloucestershire...father Cornelius. Now , the first actual record ..that my cousin and I have found is a Roger Whitington and his wife Alice Studman. And like I said it all starts in the County of Sussex; now West Sussex. We don't have a birth date of Roger but have a death May 11,1688 and Alice was born Oct.17, 1624 and died Nov.3, 1683. We have checked all vital records at the County Records Office at Chichester in West Sussex and nothing can be found beyond these records. It appears that all records previous to this time were either lost or distroyed. These above records dealt with a place in West Sussex called "Wisborough Green" ( north-west part of Sussex.). Again..the level of society caste for these people is unknown because the census reports which talk about occupation etc. never really happened until 1841 in England. So Tim....at this point in time this where it all happened for my branch ..( as OUR) findings report. Now there are two other (and possibly more) branches of Whittingtons have been found...at this point we can't make any connections. #1 A branch appears to started on the Island of Wight ( south of the coastline of Susssex in the English Channel.) I think that over the years this growth built up a population along the southern coast there and then moved north where our bunch is found. #2 There are a few cities north of my area of study ( Wisborough Greeen, Pulborough, Thakeham, West Chiltington) that we have found another separate family of Whitingtons show up. This area includes places :Fittleworth, Petworth and Kirdford. Since these two areas here are so close on the map that we feel at some point we will find a connection. I suggest you get out a map of England so that my story will be more clear to you geographically.

Keith has given us a wonderful, generous, offer of help on the Whittington line. How I wish I knew about my line to take advantage of his offer. I have printed it and hope in the future to get information that leads me back to England. I am trying to find the father's given name and the mother's maiden name of my Minerva Whittington, born in Miss. (according to the 1870 census of Carroll Parish, LA). She was born about 1855 and I have never been able to find her with her parents on the 1860 census. By the 1870 census she was married to Benjamin Harrison Childs and living in Floyd, Carroll (before Carroll was divided) Parish, Louisiana. Her mother Laura J. Nevels and Benj. Harrison's nephew, John Dye were also living in the home. (I found the marriage record of Laura J. Whittington and Mordica Nevels in 1865 in Caldwell Parish, La. I have not been able to find Laura & Mordica Nevels again.) Minerva & Benj. Harrison Childs had two children and Minerva died in January 1872 probably in Carroll Parish, La. Any help would be most appreciated, I have been at this brick wall for years. Maurine

Maurine Saw your post this morning. I have several Minerva Whittington's from MS. 1) b. 1828 d. ? 1) b. 1825 d. 1857 1) b. 1862 d. 1895 1) b. 1870 d. ? I have a long list of Whittingtons from Mississippi. Most of mine are in and around Amite and Wilkinson county areas. Do you have any other info on the line you are looking for? Wish I had more on these ladys to help you. Merry

To me this is a puzzlement; a lot of the Whittington families changed the spelling after the Civil War, as if to hide from the carpetbaggers ( really these were IRS agents). Yet, time after time I can not find a reason for the family themselves changing the spelling. A local cus and I have gone over this several times and I seem more inclined to go along with you and her, as she has an MA in library workings and my MS is industrail psych. But, why did the census takers change the spelling in several states and/or places and not in others? Did some Washington, D.C. person issue a 'correct spelling'. Well, interesting to learn that I was not the only one confused.

Hello members of the Whitttington family line, I am writing from your northern friendly country of Canada. I too am of Whittington descent that is directly from England. For months now I have heard a lot of your chatting and exchanging of information about Whittington descendants who came to the United States and settled in various parts of your great country. I would love to get involved with your exchange of names,places etc . but your information doesn't go beyond the borders of the U.S.A.If any of you have information re: dates, places of birth or even marriage places that relate to English locations I would love to hear about them . You see, I have a cousin who was born, raised and lives presently in Hove E.Sussex England. She has been researching the Whittington family for nearly seven yeras. She and I were lucky to hook up together on the Internet and realized that we were actually related. We have a data base of about 850 names of Whittingtons who are connected to earlier Whittingtons who were born and settled in the areas of the Counties of West Sussex, Surrey and Kent in England. Unfortunately we have found no records of those Whittingtons of our branch who emigrated to the united States during the years 1600-1900. Now if there are any of you who specifically know when , where your early ancestors came from (England) the parents, .. also the mother's maiden name..we could possibly help you "move back into history " (England homeland ) with your search. It is well possible that many of your Whitingtons in the U.S.A. ( way back) had connections toour Whitttingtons who didn't emigrate to the U.S.A. My English grandparents came directly from County of Kent England and settled in southern Ontario, Canada (1900). From there my cousin and I were able to trace her grandmother and my grandfather (they were brother and sister) directly back to 1649. I would honestly believe that a good percentage of names we found were people that emigrated to your country over those three hundred years. Look....find those people that you have data regarding English references and send them to me . I'll check my data base and who knows....you may receive a big step back " across the pond" and into an English Garden. You have the next move. Good luck.

In researching my line of Whittington's, Francis and Mary Catherine, my G-GM, Ann/e/a Elizabeth Whittington Elliott, there were Whittenton's listed in and around the Whittington name. I assumed it was misspelled by the census taker/s. This was in Jefferson Co., VA/WV. I included them in my material. They will come up again, correct spelling, same given names and birth dates. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

All my Whittenton Ancesters who ended up in Hamilton TX spell their name as Whittenton. The Family cemetery there is also spelled Whittenton. I know that unsupported info is not good genealogy but, There is a story told by the family (passed on to me by my cousin James Whittenton and Charles M. Whittenton, Jr.) That the Whittington Family came from England and settled in Philadelphia. Two brothers who went to work together opened a merchantile store. They had a falling out, and one brother changed his spelling to "enton" and moved to North Carolina. Eventually my family (Marion "Bud" Andrew Whittenton) migrated to Pike Co. AL in 1865. And then to Van Zandt, TX. in 1870 where Marion worked the salt mines. His first dau. Mattie was born in 1871. Then in 1873 He came to Hamilton Co. TX.

Could your Whittington have changed the spelling of their name. I ran into this doing work on a Marion Andrew Whittington ... to Whittenton? As his family moved from the Pike, Alabama area to Hamilton, Texas just after the Civil War, I was in a titter for a long time. So many of my people moved from Alabama to Texas after the Civil War that I find the Westward movement interesting. Where is wishing you luck and I am keeping a 'hard copy' for my Whittenton / Whittington file.
