    1. [WILHITE] Re: Siblings of William Wilhite
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HWWBAEB/27.32.34.37.1.4 Message Board Post: Reuben and Mary Yager Wilhite had another grandson named William Wilhite who lived in White County, Tennessee, and his family has been attached to his cousin William Cloyd Wilhite. William M. Wilhite was the son of Reuben’s son John. William M. married Jane Bennett 7/31/1844, then Mary McGibboney before 1850. In the 1850 White County census, William and Mary are listed with William’s son James E., age 5. In the 1860 White County census, William and Mary are shown with James E. 15, Elisabeth J. 9, Barcelona 8, Martha C. 7, John D. 5, and William D. 3. By 1870 this family was in Humphreys County, Tennessee, and included younger children Eppenitus and Travis P. In about 1889 William D. Willhite, my husband’s great grandfather, left Humphreys County with his two young daughters and settled in Indian Territory. All of the Reubens and Williams are confusing, but I think I have finally sorted out the census records for White County Wilhite families, and believe this information to be correct.
