Hello Everyone; Below is a list of Archaic and Unusual Medical Terms. Would appreciate any and all remedies to these and other medical problems faced by people in the 1800's. Thank You. Gary A. Wilhoite Archaic and Unusual Medical Terms AFFECTION: A general term indicating a disease or ailment. ANASARCA: Generalized edema or dropsy. APOPLEXY: Sudden loss, more or less complete, of consciousness and voluntary motion, without the circulation or breathing being suspended. It is produced by pressure on the brain. CATARRH: Inflamation of mucous membrane, especially of the nose or throat. CHILLBLAINS: Painful swelling or inflamed sore on the feet or hands, caused by exposure to cold. CHOLERA MORBUS: A disease characterized by vomiting,purging,violent gripings, coldness and cramps of the extremities. This was probably appendicitis. COLA: Apparently an inflamation of the colon. CONSUMPTION: Tuberculosis. CYANOSIS: Bluish coloration of the skin due to lack of oxygen. DENTITION: Teething. DROPSY: An accumulation of serum or watery fluid in cavities or tissues of the body. DYSPEPSIA: Indigestion or heartburn. ERYSIPELAS: An acute infectious disease of the skin or mucous membranes, also know as St. Anthony's fire. GRAVEL: Kidney stone or stone in the bladder. FLUX: Dysentery, also known as bloody flux. HYDROCELE: A collection of watery fluid in a cavity of the body, especially in the scrotum or along the spermatic cord. INANITION: Exhaustion from the lack of food or inability to absorb and digest food. INFORMATION OF____: Inflamation. JANDERS: Jaundice. LOCKJAW: Tetanus. MARASMUS: Atrophy; progressive emaciation. NEURALGIA: Pain in the nerve. In late 19th century the term was used quite freguently, and apparently in many cases for distress that had little to do with the nervous system. For example, thee was "neuralgia of the heart" which, judging from the symtoms, was either heart attack or angina. "Neuralgia of the stomach" seems to be what we call heartburn. "Neuralgia of the head" was simply a headache. PARTURITION: Labor and chilbirth. PHTHISIS: A wasting away of the body, particularly from tuberculosis. PILES: Hemorrhoids. PROLAPSIS: The falling or slipping out of place of an organ. PUTRID: General infection of the mouth or throat area. REMITTING FEVER: Symtoms suggesting malaria. RISING: A morbid swelling. ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE: See "erysipelas". SCARLETINA: Scarlet fever. SCROFULA: Enlargement of one of the glands, particularly of the neck; goiter was considered scrofula. SPINA BITHIDA: Birth defect involving spinal column. TABES MESENTERICA: A type of tuberculosis. TERTIARY: A stage in the developement of syphilis. THRUSH: Ulcerative sore throat. TRICHINIA: Apparently trichinosis. TRISMUS NASCENTIUM: Tetanus. VARICOCELE: A varicose vein in the scrotum.

Gary, Thanks for the info. I have to admit I was skeptical at first, the second Tobias as the son of Matthias is not consistent with all the records. I thought I was be able to read up in the archives of the Wilhite list or in the Germanna archives and find a place where someone had cleared this all up in the past, so far I haven't found that sort of explination but there certainly are a number of people who list the families much as you have them. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that Matthias and the first Tobias were brothers. Matthias married Mary Ballenger and Tobias1 married Catherine Walke, everything seems to agree on that. Despite his not being mentioned in the will of the first Tobias, there are those who have made the case that the second Tobias and his brothers Joel, John, Lewis and sister Catherine are really children of the first Tobias and Catherine Walke. I'll leave that possibility for someone else to answer. Tobias2 seems to have been an interesting person, I understand that he freed slaves and became a Shaker, he was married to Mary Polly Shirley. It seems that I read somewhere that he and his brother William both married Shirley sisters and that at least Tobias was married in England, do you know anything about that? There seems to be no disagreement that Michael was the son of Tobias1, and there are a good number of sources saying he was married to Mary Shirley. Was there a third Shirley sister who was also named Mary? That doesn't sound right, Polly is a nickname for Mary, one cousin/brother was married to a Mary who is called Polly and the other is married to another Mary, same last name. There are also sources saying that Michael was married to Mary Ballenger, that also sounds strange. His uncle Matthias was married to Mary Ballenger, I guess there could have been another Mary Ballenger, but no sources say anything about Michael being married twice, it must have been one or the other. Gary, most (but not all) of the info available is consistient with the way you have it. Can anyone clear this up a little more?

I was looking for a Joseph Wilhite who was alive in 1800 and who lived well into the 19th century. There were four of them, and none of them seemed to be the one I wanted. Then I found a fifth Joseph and he fits perfectly--eureka. Discovery leads to additional mysteries, and now I'm confused about my Joseph's father and grandfather. He was the son of Micheal, who was the son of Michael, who was the son of Tobias, who was the son of Johann Michael the immigrant. Does anyone have all or part of the details about this Micheal, Michael, Tobias, Johann Micheal line? Michael, son of Tobias is listed in the Germanna Record as married to Mary Ballenger, but there are lots of GEDCOMs listing him as married to Mary Shirley. I thought it was his brother Tobias2 who was married to Mary Polly Shirley? What is the story about the two Shirley sisters who were married to Wilhite brothers in this generation? The next generation Michael was married to Jemina Lucas in 1789, does anyone know more about him? Thanks.

Earlier Robert Allen gave us information on some of his line. I descend from Samuel Wilhoit (s.o. Conrad Reuben Wilhite/Wilhoit and Elizabeth Broyles) who married Anna Wilson.

Hi again Robert: I'm just sick that I'm not going to get to meet all of you cousins this year. We'll get together next year for sure. This year was messed up from the beginning I suppose. I'm starting to think that the local people in that area of Washington Co., TN, may have some hidden jealousy because the Reunion part of the weekend was broadened to include ALL Germanna descendants of that area. I'm not sure that is the case, but I don't know why they would otherwise leave out of the loop all of us who have been managing the Reunion part of the "Reunion and Homecoming" for the past 3 years. You know how hard it is to overcome that small-community mentality and see the much larger picture. I thought John Blankenbaker and Thom Faircloth had done such a masterly job last year in getting those folks to look beyond their immediate line or surname, and look at the whole community as it evolved from the early Germanna settlers from VA to todays integrated community. I already had your basic data in my database, just the names, no dates, or other info. I would love to have an extraction from your database for Conrad and Elizabeth on down to the present. I'm missing a lot of WILHITE/WILHOIT descendants for this couple. Would appreciate anything you can send. Would prefer a GEDCOM (.ged file).

To Robert Glenn Allen I read your e-mail saying you have 42,000 people plus, so I thought I would ask what you have on my grandfather (a few greats back) John Wilhite. He is the son of Conrad Reuben Wilhite 11 and Mary "Polly" Yager. I descend from John's daughter Nancy B. Wilhite and Henry Thompson Hughes. I have several thousand of their descendants, but very little on Nancy's seblings. Nancy and Henry Thompson Hughes and they ended up in Andrew and Holt Counties in MO, where I was born. My mother's maiden name was Hughes. John Wilhite b. 24 May 1800, married Williams. I don't have a first name for Williams nor anything about her ancestry. I see no reason why you would have this Williams info, but thought I would ask. Also, anything you have on John Wilhite's children (Nancy's seblings) would be appreciated. I can give you Nancy's descendants if you want them. Lorene Strano

Folks, I really don't know how to start this email to you. It's with much embarrassment that I must let you know that the Tennessee Germanna Families/Broyles Reunion will NOT take place on the 14th and 15th of September this year. Now, to explain. The Reunion, and Broyles Homecoming, have ALWAYS been on the SECOND FULL WEEKEND of September, for years and years. Unfortunately, most of the cousins who started the get-together have passed on, and the ones who remain are in their twilight years. Seems that some of the "old-timers" in the community "remembered" that the Homecoming was always on the 2nd Sunday of September, not on the Sunday of the SECOND FULL WEEKEND of the month. In other words, in the past, if Sunday fell on the 1st day of the month, then the Reunion/Homecoming would be on the 14th and 15th, NOT on the 7th and 8th. Unfortunately, the Pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church (he is relatively young and took his cues from the "elders") made announcements and put out bulletins saying the Homecoming would be on the 8th. Since "no one had specifically told him" that there would also be a Reunion on Saturday this year, he ASSUMED there would not be one. In other words, everything is so screwed up I'm not even going to try to make arrangements for the Reunion on Saturday, the 7th. The community can have its Homecoming on Sunday, the 8th. We'll just have to wait until next year and see if we can get someone up there in that community to take charge. I live about 120 miles away and have been doing all the arrangements and scheduling via email and phone for 3 years now. I don't want to do that any more -- I don't want to be the one who is embarrassed when things don't turn out the way they're supposed to. So, I hope all you cousins who had planned to attend will forgive me for this fiasco. Cancel your plans, and maybe things will work out better next year. If enough of you could change your plans and make it on Saturday, the 7th, we could still get together; but, I know how difficult it is to make drastic changes in plans. If everyone, including John Blankenbaker and Thom Faircloth, could make it on the 7th and 8th, we could hold the Reunion. I was so elated this year because we were expecting over 35 primary out-of-the-area cousins, some who were coming from far-away states. Many of these cousins had never attended the Reunion/Homecoming, and it would have been the first time we had a chance to meet them. If any of you can switch dates on such a short notice, please let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. In any case, all of you are welcome to attend the Homecoming on Sunday, the 8th, and meet all your cousins. Regards, and with Regrets, George

George Wow! This is a real disappointment - we understand how these things can happen, the real problem is that we can't reschedule to the 7th or 8th. We have our tickets for travel the following weekend so we'll just keep them for next year. We wanted to come to last year's reunion but had a conflict. So, we'll wait another year it looks like. Well, age is supposed to give one greater patience. Appreciate your work on these and hope to see you at the next one. It may work out that we will visit that part of Tennessee sooner since we have kids and grandkids in Franklin and travel there at least once a year. Mike Willhoit "George W.

I remember when I was small we were always going to visit relatives and having visitors by,usually on weekends. I feel terrible about not remembering a whole lot about thier names or how they were kin but I was only 5 when Daddy died. All of my uncles and aunts were gone except for my Aunt Hazzel Newman, who has suffered a dibilitating stroke and can,t talk, before it dawned on me that I wanted to do some family history research.Why did I wait so long? After Daddy died we kind of lost touch with everyone. Uncle Jake Killingsworth used to tell me he was going to take me to a Wilhite family reunion but I never did get to go. I did find out a lot about the Wilhite family history though and I even stopped up there at Wilhite and talked to Paul Frank one time. Did you know his father was named Archie too? He has a son named Jonathan and so do I. I am looking forward to corresponding with you about the Hollis side of the family. I know hardly anything about them. We had a man named Grant Buddy Hollis that worked for the same company I do who lives in the Sterlington area. I would like to hear from you.
