With a bit of luck, we should be getting a good deal of Whitaker (and,Boone and Howard and Floyd) information. If anything turns up that should be useable, I'll xerox copies of those pages and send them to you. A4�t-hype, �u`'+�-ax►�?�r_�.+�ys;_If Mark & Catherine Whitaker were J U well-off enough to have tombstones, there must be a will. If there is a will, perhaps all of the living children of this couple will d be listed, and we might be well on our way to a complete listing s' of the children of Mark and Catherine [Boone] Whitaker. I've been working mostly on the family of John Boone (1727-1803) of Hunting Creek (then Rowan, now Davie County, North Carolina). John Boone's parents were Benjamin Boone (1706-1762) and Ann [Farmer] Boone (1701-1727?). They were members of the Exeter Friends Meet- ing which did not record births until the mid -1750's - so the exact birthday of John Boone is not recorded, so far as I know - NOW. Benjamin Boone (1754-1836) oldest child of John and��' Boone (and older brother of Catherine [Boone] Whitaker) was a mem- ber of the North Carolina (Patriot) Militia during the American Revolution - I have seen three post-war pay vouchers for him - for his militia service. Did Mark Whitaker serve in the Militia, or in the Continental Line?A As for the names of the sons of MarkU& Catherine: John was her father's name, and Benjamin was hesildest brother's name. John was also the name of a brother of Mark Whitaker, who like Mark moved to Tennessee. In that long ago era of large families, the father's name might be given to k grandson5by each of his sons. So it is not unusual that there were a number of Mark -Marcus Whitakers in the Forks of the Yadkin at the same time. With all good wishes, &4q PGG �1 SC. j2t 6513 �„�- �`F • G� CdP�-- a) 14.

I enjoyed reading it. At the moment I do not know if I am a descendant of one of Daniel Boone's siblings. I wrote to you on a hunch that didn't quite work out. I have L. enclosed copies of four family group sheets. In order for you to understand a the line of descent, the following chart should help: .

Newton, he was connected with the Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C. and was Superin- tendant of the Alexandria Gazette in Alexan- dria, Va. In lateryears he went into the grocery business and was operating his store on the Winston Rd. in Lexington at the time of his death. Laura Ray, b. 17 Sept. 1889 in Thomasville, d. 17 June 1891, and is bur. in the 1hornasville City Gem. John Franklin Westmoreland, my great- grandfather, was 6 months old at the time of his father's death. Very little is known of his early life, but he entered military service on 23 May 1864 at the age of 17, served until the end of the war as a non-commissioned officer of Co. C. Third Regiment (Co. J.W. Hinsdale) N.C. Junior Reserves, and participated in the Battles of Fort Fisher, Kinston and Ben- nettsville. From letters written to his family, we know he went to Worthington, Ind. and Blooming- ton, III. after the war, but he soon returned to N.C., was married and purchased a farm in Bethania Twp., Forsyth Co. On Nov. 13, 1875 and Nov. 15, 1879 Teachers Certificates were issued to him, authorizing him to teach in the public schools of Forsyth Co. These certifi- cates were for the months of Dec., Jan. and Feb. and his School Register shows he taught in Dist. No. 14 of Forsyth Co., beginning with the year 1878 for a salary of 820 per month. He taught children from ages 6 to 18, and the register gave his address as Sedge Garden, N.C. John Franklin Westmoreland organized the first Sunday School class at Hickory Ridge Meth Church, Germanton, Stokes Co. and a list of the members is in the possession of Mrs. Sam P. Heath, his granddaughter. No date is shown on the paper, but his first 3 children were among those signing the peti- tion. In Sept. 1883 he moved his family to Tho- masville, and was probably employed in the chair factory owned by his brother, David Stephen Westmoreland. About 1887 the for- mer teacher felt the printing urge and started a commercial printing business in his home. He installed a hand printing press which took 3 people to operate — one to put in the sheet of paper, one to turn the press, and one to re- move the paper. He first printed business statements and envelopes, and soon needing more space, he moved into a building between his home and the chair factory on Randolph St. An article in the Lexington Dispatch dated Aug. 13. 1890 stated that J.F. Westmoreland had purchased the Farm and Village News and would begin publishing a paper at an early date. It is thought his first Thomasville News was printed in Sept. 1890, and on publishing day each member of the family was called to help. His dau., Nancy Rebecca, recalled that her job was folding papers. About the time he founded the newspaper, he erected a building on his home lot to accommodate both the job printing business and newspaper production. Fire fighters in 1897 wrapped this building in guilts and kept them soaked with water to keep it from burning when the adjacent chair factory burned. He served 3 terms as a member of the Thomasville Town Council. In July 1897 in Raleigh, he suffered a stroke after serving the winter term there as a State Senator. He spent his remaining years in a wheel chair, but this did not keep him from managing his printing and publishing business. The name of the newspaper was changed more than once by the owner, but by 1905 it was The Times and John Franklin Westmoreland served as its Edi- tor for 23 years. His obituary in the May 15, 1913 issue of The Times reads: -we will say in a modest way that he always had the town's best interest at heart, always advoand working for any and all measures that seemedcatory m his judgment Inr the betterment of the town in which he lived and loved so well. He, with his newspaper, was greatly instrumental in securing the graded schools, the belt line (railroad), the electric system, water and sewage system and other matters of progress." My mother and I often visited my great- grandmother, Nancy Ellen, and I remember the children liked to play in the chinaberrytree in her back yard. After her death, I was given the cut glass and pewter cruet set she kept on her dining room table. Needless to say, this is one of my prized possessions.

Mike is retired from the Air Force and in the summer works for the Park Service. They live on their farm near Bryant Pond, Maine. My grandfather learned the printing and newspaper business from his father and fol- lowed this work until shortly before his death. In the towns of Kings Mountain, Gastonia, Lexington and Thomasville, all in N.C., he was engaged in the printing business. In the spring of 1926, he moved to Mt. Airy, where he opened a job printing shop and in May established the Mt. AiryStar, an indepen- dent weekly newspaper. The Star enjoyed rapid growth, but failing health forced him to dispose of his latest venture in the printing and newspaper business in which he had engaged since boyhood. At the time of its sale, the Star was one of the most widely circulated news- papers in that section of the state. "Papa T" d. when I was 7, but I remember going to his printing office in Mt. Airy. He would be busy setting up type for the paper, but never so busy that he couldn't stop and talk to me. "Muver" loved flowers and truly had a "green thumb." It made no difference what she planted, everything grew for her, and wherever she lived she always had pretty flow- ers. Like all grandmothers, she was a good cook, and one of my special Christmas memo- ries is the sea foam candy she made for us. In the fall, she made chow -chow and pepper rel- ish. Today, when I make the pepper relish from her recipe, it never tastes quite as good as hers. Both of them were Baptists (as were all of their children), and Democrats, but I have been told that he always said he voted for the man instead of the party. sources: Newspaper clippings given to me by family members — no names or dates; Farmly members recol- lections; Family records; and Personal knowledge. — Mrs. Margaret R.

(704) 492-5307 18 March 1986 The entries in the Index of North Carolina Ancestors were my attempt to correctly and completely list the members of the Boone Family who lived "in the Forks of the Yadkin" then Rowan now Davie County, North Carolina. Note that the entry for Mark and Catherine (Boone) Whitaker lists the date of the Marriage Bond.he actual marriage may have taken place days later. In those days the grm and a friend or member of the family would ride on horseback ( or walk:))`` the 20 miles to Salisbury, North Carolina and obtain a marriage bond. The journey and the "official business" might take an entire day. The trip home might take the better part of the next day, and the actual wedding might not take place until both families and all friends.had been assembled. I believe that Patsy Whitaker was a granddaughter of Mark and Katie, and she was married to a McLemore; the only mention I have seen of Patsy led me believe that at the time she was in the area of Mulberry(Forks) in Lincoln County, Tennessee, she was already a widow - an assumption that may be totally false - but there is no mention of her husband (or children). Enclosed is all the material in the Davie County Public Library History and Genealogy Room on Mark Whitaker; the information on the children of Mark and Katie was provided by Michael E Collier, whose research is ongoing. Contact him for further information. He is working on contract in another state, so he takes a long time to get his mail and a long time to answer his letters. Also enclosed is C. Bruce Whitaker's genealogy which traces the Whitakers back to those born in England. Also there is another descendant of Mark and Catherine (Boone) Whitaker who is conducting research into their children and present-day descendants: Mrs Frances N Walker 124 North Lafayette South Lyon, Michigan 48178 Wishing you good luck with your Whitaker, �A� C 5� 9 0 UV `.`AVit CO.

Neither this Rebecca nor a Sarah Bryan are mentioned in the will of Morgan Bryan - or what can be read of the will, which is now a tattered fragment in the North Carolina Archives in Ral- eigh, North Carolina. Bryan Family "tradition" has produced two rosters for the children of Morgan and Martha [Strode] Bryan. The roster I worked from in June of 1983 listed 11 children, including Rebecca and Sarah. The other roster, with 9 children, conforming to what can be read of Morgan Bryan's will is used by John K. Bryan, Jr in his research. This second roster omits both Rebecca and Sarah. John K. Bryan feels that if John Boone's Rebecca was a Bryan, she might have been the daughter of William Bryan, and thus a niece of Morgan Bryan, or the daughter of some other Bryan, whose relation- ship to Morgan Bryan is unknown. (2) In your letter you enclosed as much information on the Whitaker Family as I've seen; your material is now included as part of the Whitaker Files in the History and Genealogy Room of the Davie County Public Library in Mocksville, North Carolina. In case you have not seen the 1981 book on Marriages of Rowan County, North Carolina (1753-1868) I enclose the pages relating to various Whitakers. Our files also contained a letter (12 June 1969) from a Don Brown of Toledo, Ohio, with information on the early Whitakers. In his letter, he refers to the Whitaker Methodist Meeting House. The Meeting house has long since been demolished; there is a grave- yard which remains. There are no Whitaker tombstones in this cem- etery, and there is no record of a Whitaker ever being buried there. There is a Whitaker Cemetery 24 miles north east of Mulberry Village on the east side of the East Fork of Mulberry Creek, in Lincoln County, Tennessee where both Mark Whitaker (1750-1842) and Catherine Boone, wife of Mark Whitaker (1760-1845) are buried with legible gravestones. Have you compiled a listing of their children?
