This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: WHITTINGTON, ROSSER, OLIVER, SHELTON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TUWBAIB/663 Message Board Post: William C. OLIVER md. Elsey WHITTINGTON 11 May 1828 in Pike Co. GA. Sons: Wm, Thaddius, Virgil, Charles, James and Stirling. Daughters: Frances, Rebecca, Emma and I believe Sarah Alice who was born 19 Nov 1850. This family found in Cherokee Co. AL page 125 Dist 23 of the 1850 census. In 1840 census of Pike Co. GA they are listed next to Thaddius "Faddy" Whittington Sr and Jr. I believe the "Faddy" Whittington who married Rebecca Rosser is perhaps Sarah Alice Oliver's grandmother and grandfather. Name similarities and locations are very convincing evidence that this is true. Sarah Alice OLIVER md. James Knox Polk SHELTON 5 Jan 1875 in Ellis Co. TX. She was born in either AL or GA, and her parents were Chapman OLIVERand Emma WHITTINGTON both born in GA. I believe William C. OLIVER to be the father of Sarah Alice. I am seeking any one researching these families so that we can colobrate on genealogy information. Sincerely~~Dee Colvin
