This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: OLIVER, WHITTINGTON, ROSSER, SHELTON, COLVIN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TUWBAIB/668 Message Board Post: Living next door to William C OLIVER in 1840 in Pike Co. GA is Thaddius "Faddy" WHITTINGTON Sr, & Jr. I believe this to be the parent and grand parent of William C. OLIVER's wife. On record 11 May 1828 Pike Co GA marriage of William C. OLIVER and Elsey WHITTINGTON. This family appears on the 1850 Cherokee Co. AL census with 9 children. Name similarities and the states GA & AL convince these are the 9 siblings of Sarah Alice OLIVER who came to TX in ca 1863. Her parents are listed as Chapman OLIVER and Emma WHITTINGTON. She was the 10th child in the family and was born 19 Nov 1850 in GA (census records give AL) I believe it was probably Thaddius "Faddy" WHITTINGTON, Jr. who was married to Rebecca ROSSER, they are both named in the will of James ROSSER the father of Rebecca. Anyone researching these lines, please contact me. Sincerely, ~~Dee Colvin
