chart #2 John & Elizabeth's Descendants
I took Charles's advice ane looked at the other postings.I have several questions. Maybe someone may be able to help me out.
1. What was Elizabeth's last name.I find it several different ways.
2 .Does anyone have proof where she is buried.A family history I found online has her buried in the Old Town Cemetery, Macedonia, Pottawattanie Co. IA.I wrote the county look-up and they did not find a Elizabeth Whitsett buried there.They did find an Elizabeth buried in the Macedonia Cemetery sec. III.The dates did not match the Elizabeth I was looking for BUT they did belong to a relative.It was John and Elizabeth's daught-in-law, Elizabeth Whitsett wife of Martin K.Martin, wife Elizabeth and son Frank are allthe Whitsett listedin that cemetery.I posted a note on the Wayne Co. IA look-up and received the following information.In the 1880 federal census there is an Elizabeth Whitsett living with the family of Moses and Sarah Loving. This would be her daughter and son-in-law.Their home was in Southfork Twp. Wayne Co. IA. Elizabeth listed her state of birth as KY, Mother TN and nothing for her Father.
3. Do I have theright John? I had information that husband John and son Walter were buried inthe Promise City Cemetery so I asked.The reply I received was from the look-up of, Wayne Co. Iowa Cemeteries 1846-1978 Page 179 Promise City Cemetery.Row 21. 21.12Whitsett, John Died Feb. 24, 1871 age 78 yr. 1m. 9 d.This would make his date of birth Jan. 15, 1793.Several years before any of the histories I have read.
4. Where is Walter? They did not find a Walter, who one sorce has died at age 19, and was to be buried in Wayne Co.Kathy's history has Walter marring a Loving.
5.Could he have married a sister of Moses?
Back to Elizabeth and on to Nebraska.The 1885 Nebraska census has Elizabeth living with her son William and his family in Silver Creek Twp. Dixon Co. Nebraska.I have writtern to Dixon County and have a reply form a lady who has the list of all the tombstones in the county but none for an Elizabeth Whitsett. There are many relatives buried in the Silver Ridge Cem. Silver Creek Twp. Dixon Co. NE.As a child I visited the cemetery many times.My mother and I have beenthere in the past year and we did not find a stone for Elizabeth but did find alot of other relatives.
