These names are not familiar, but the states they resided in are. What County were they in in GA and AL. My husband's ggrandmother was an Oliver, and her mother was a Whittington. They were in Pike Co. GA and md. there 11 May 1828. William C. Oliver md. Elsey Whittington. I believe this may be Chapman Oliver and Emma Whittington. On the 1840 Pike Co. GA census they are living next door to Thaddius "Faddy" Whittington Junior and Senior. I believe this to be Emma's father and grandfather. In 1800 there was a will proved in in Johnston Co NC ~~The will of James Rosser named his wife Alice, their daughter Rebecca Rosser and Rebecca's husband "Faddy" Whittington. I know the Oliver's came to Texas in about 1863 (documented). TheOliver's were in Cherokee Co. AL in 1850 on census, but Sarah Alice said she was born in 1850 in GA, so whether they went back to GA before her birth or not I do not know at this point. She was born in Nov. after the 1850 census. I have been unable to find them on census in 1860 thus far. So I am not sure where they were living before coming to TX in 1863. Nor do I know if any of the Whittington's came with them or not. Thaddius "Faddy" Whittington Sr lived to be 105 years I believe. Whether Thaddius could connect to Earl down the line I do not know. But wanted to share the information just in case it could help you or someone else. ~~Dee Colvin ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 24, 2001 4:44 PM Subject: Re: Whittington's in AL > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TUWBAIB/662.1 > > Message Board Post: > > Laura, you asked about an Earl Whittington.
