(Under the 1850 Cocke Co., TN Census, you will find reference to Abigail WILHITE, who married Isaac RAINES.) -----Original Message----- From: Betty Lee Davis Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 12:38 AM To: 'bob-palmer@worldnet.at.net' Subject: Andrew Jackson Dentons a little late! Bob...am so sorry to just be getting back to you since last month when I said it would be a week! I do sympathize with you on your computer crash but the Dentons are so active I feel you probably got back most of those e-mail addresses! I know I would enjoy the Denton reunion and I probably would even solve my mystery if I could get my husband to drive there. I just don't like driving that distance any more by myself. I know I am going to repeat a lot here. But I would prefer you to have the whole story on paper than holes in the story! Andrew Jackson Denton (Sr.) and Andrew Jackson Denton, Jr. Andrew Jackson Denton (Sr.) b. 23 April 1817 TN md. abt 1859 d. 26 Jul 1906 Jefferson or Sevier Co., TN buried Jones Chapel Cemetery, Sevier Co. 1839 Cocke Co.

In the houshold of Isaac Raines and wife Abigail Wilhite Raines, is a daughter Keziah, age 7, and a grandparent, Kisiah Wilhite, 70 Next door to this family is a John A. Denton, 27, and wife Margaret, 25. John b. 1822 TN is probably a son of Abraham Denton & Nancy Shrewsbury Allen.

The following is a post to Managers/Administrators of Mailing Lists and Message Boards at Rootsweb/Ancestry, and to USERS of Lists and Boards. PLEASE READ !!!!! It contains some useful/important information for subscribers to Mailing Lists and/or users of Message Boards. SgtGeorge George W. Durman Manager/Administrator =============================================== PORTALS TO SUCCESS. Message Board/Mailing List Gateways. Anyone may search, post, or reply to messages on the free RootsWeb/Ancestry Message Boards. In addition to these Message Boards, RootsWeb also hosts thousands of free mailing lists for genealogy-related topics. Researchers must subscribe to a Mailing List in order to participate in the discussion. The requirement to subscribe to a Mailing Lists helps to eliminate spam because it limits the ability to post messages to those who have joined the list. For the most part, researchers who join (subscribe to) a Mailing List and read and post messages on the list are actively interested in the topic, locality, or surname that is the subject of the Mailing List. Both Message Boards and Mailing Lists have a place in your genealogical research. They are two excellent means by which researchers with a similar interest can make contact with one another. Mailing Lists are great for real-time in-depth group discussion of a subject, while Message Boards can be an appropriate venue for peripheral research into allied and collateral lines, and subjects of passing, or minor, interest. Since Message Boards are universally searchable they also make an excellent place for you to post a query about your brick-wall ancestors, or to archive data, documents, and photos. While Mailing Lists often appeal to those with a serious interest in a particular subject, Message Boards are valuable to serious researchers and rainy-day dabblers alike. A handy feature of many RootsWeb Message Boards and Mailing Lists is the availability of a one-way gateway, which allows the automatic copying of Message Board posts to be made directly to a corresponding Mailing List. This feature allows those who have not joined the mailing list to have their Message Board posts viewed and replied to by Mailing List members in addition to others who search the Message Boards. The Message Board gateway is an option that is used by many of the thousands of volunteer Mailing List and Message Board administrators. To spot a Message Board that is gatewayed to a Mailing List, look for a yellow envelope icon superimposed over the sheets of paper icon, which represents a Message Board. There also will be a yellow highlighted blurb explaining that posts made to the Message Board also appear on the corresponding Mailing List. IMPORTANT. If you are a Mailing List subscriber, and you see a message posted on the list that says, "This is a Message Board post that is gatewayed to this Mailing List" if you wish to respond to that message do NOT reply by clicking the "REPLY TO" option and sending your response to the Mailing List. Instead, click on the URL (address) link included in the message body, and reply directly to the post on the Message Board. Your reply will then be gatewayed to the Mailing List. Replying on the Message Board ensures that the original poster, and anyone else who may benefit from your information, will see your response. If your favorite Mailing Lists are not gatewayed to a corresponding Message Board, and you believe gatewaying would be beneficial, contact the list administrator to suggest the gateway be opened by writing to LISTNAME-admin@rootsweb.com. Replace the word LISTNAME with the actual Mailing List's name. If you wish to contact the SMITH Mailing List administrator, for instance, write to: SMITH-admin@rootsweb.com To learn more about Message Boards, see also: "Message Board Queries (RootsWeb Review 5:30, 24 July 2002); "Message Board Solutions," (RWR 5:29, 17 July 2002) "Meandering Through the Message Boards" (RWR 5:28, 10 July 2002); "Discovering Display Options on the Message Boards" (RWR 5:27, 3 July 2002); "Getting the Most Out of Message Boards" (RWR 5:26, 26 June 2002); and "Message Board Attachments" (RWR 5:23, 5 June 2002); and "Message Board Icons" (RWR 5:22, 29 May 2002) -- all previous issues of RWR are searchable and downloadable here: http://e-zine.rootsweb.com/ Previously published in RootsWeb Review: Vol. 5, No. 31, 31 July 2002.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Wilhite Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HWWBAEB/251 Message Board Post: Hello everyone. I'm trying to make the link between my grandfather Julius C. Wilhite and Julius Alexander Wilhite, both of Pine Ridge Arkansas. Julius Alexander Wilhite was murdered in 1863 near his home in Pine Ridge. His wife Polly was a Fryar, but was supposedly full-blooded Cherokee. One website suggested she was adopted by the Fryar family. I noted in some old photos on-line that she did indeed look indian and resembled some old photos I had once seen of my grandfather Julius C. Wilhite. Also, I recall meeting "uncles" who were dark-complected. Many had names like Bill, Jules, Dudley, King... all that... the names which seem endlessly recycled among us. Have any of you assembled a complete tree of all the descendants of Julius Alexander Wilhite? Also, have any of you any information to share about those early days of the Wilhite family in Arkansas and the death of Julius Alexander Wilhite, especially regarding how his wife Polly and her children were able to cope? Thanks for any help you may offer. William Bruce Wilhite formerly of Hot Springs, Ark.

If you find the book, please see if there is any mention of Gordon Wilhite or the Wilhite's that settled in Gibson County Indiana. Thanks!

I am a descendant of the Wilhoit's of the town of Wilhoit in Oregon. My father's grandmother's maiden name was Wilhoit.
