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.
