Dear list, My Clayton Whittington was born around 1823. He married Judith Parker Turner in Crawford County in 1846. Clayton had a brother, Allen Whittington. Allen mentions Clayton in his will filed in Taylor County, GA. I have found Allen in the 1880, 1870, and 1860 Taylor County censuses. He appears to also be in the 1850 Macon County, GA census. The will also mentions a sister, Martha Adams, and a daughter, Mary Ellen Ruffin. Clayton's Civil War pension states that he was born in Taylor County. BUT, Taylor County had not been formed at the time of Clayton's birth. I suspect that he was born in Indian country that would become Taylor County. I still do not know Clayton's parents ... except that there is a 55 year old woman living with Allen in the 1850 Macon County, GA census ... Susan. Could this be their mother? By the way, Allen died in Taylor County in 1883. He is buried in the New Hope (Little Vine) Cemetery in Reynolds. Anyone have any ideas? Joey
