Hi. Does anyone have any later info. on Dr. Ruffin? I am interested because of two names. Henderson and Kenion that show up in my line. My Grandfather was Kenion Edward Whittington, probably born about 1870 in or around Yell Co. Ark. My Uncle one of his sons was named Henderson. http://community.webtv.net/rwhittington/2000AGOODYEAR http://community.webtv.net/rwhittington/LOOKINGFORWARDTO2001 Ray and Ann 801 Washington Ave. Artesia, NM 88210 Tele: 505-746-3406 Cell: 505-748-5406

OK, here we go - First, I have good news for you. You have a cousin close by, she retired from teaching and is now helping in the library. I must look up her address. She comes from the Marion Whittenton line, out of Hamilton, Texas. She helped me many times; I could not find my Marion Whittenton listed in any record and came close to listing him as a wet-back until a lady in FL and the one in NM beat some facts into my head. I will e-mail you a long line of our Whittenton line. One big problem that a lot of people get into is that at the end of the War of Rebellion (Civil War to some), many Whittington people changed the spelling to Whittenton. I need to get into town, copy you a long Whittington data sheet that I got from the net some time ago. I went to the site last week and it has been changed, but look at http://users.moscow.com/dnorman/WHTNFAM.HTM. This data goes to Richard WHITTENTON b. ca 1700 and his wife, Mary DORTCH. Very good data - wish that the web master of this page had keep adding. Part of my line was there and I tried several times to get Marion Whittenton's line added. Now, the web master of this good page has shortened it. # 16. DOCTOR RUFFIN WHITTINGTON b. ca 1831, NC m. 28 Dec 1848, in Pike Co., AL, Lougenia Mary Williams, b. ca 1833 Children: William Thomas b 00 Aug 1853; Ursula b. 1858; Willis D b. 1855; Emma b. 1860; Henry b. 1863. I suggest that you write Marilyn the address is [email protected] If you have a map of AL. Look South of Troy to Hilliard's Crossroads. From here - go West and there is a cemetery there that has many Whittington people resting. You can get a lot of data from Marilyn. It will be a few days before I can get into town. We retired in the 'Banana Republic of Clinton' and there is really only one place in Batesville, AR to make copies, and that is Lyon College. If you do not get the data you want ..write me [email protected] At 10:45 AM 7/20/01 -0600, you wrote: >Hi. Does anyone have any later info. on Dr. Ruffin? I am interested >because of two names.
