RACHEL WILHOIT, b. November 19, 1814, Woodford Co., Kentucky; m. (1) HENRY HARRISON SWEATMAN; b. Abt. 1812; m. (2) ANDREW THOMPSON, June 2, 1857, Owens Co., Kentucky; b. 1814. She would be a distant cousin of mine.
According to a file that I have on the family,she was the 8th child of TOBIAS WILHOIT and NANCY ELLIS. TOBIAS WILHOIT (JOHN3, MATTHIAS2, JOHANN MICHAEL1) was born 1780 in OrangeCo., Virginia, and died June 9, 1864 in Owen Co., Kentucky. He married NANCY MARGARET ELLIS September 2, 1801 in Woodford Co., Kentucky, daughter of OBEDIAH ELLIS.She was born 1777, and died February 23, 1865.
I can give you the ancestry of Rachel back to JOHANN MICHAEL WILHOIT who was born 1669.He married ANNA MARIA HENGSTELLER.She was born October 9, 1685. They were members of the GERMANNA COLONIES in VA in the early 1700's. They are my ancestors.I am descended from them two ways.
Let me know what you want and how you are related to Rachel. I am very interested in the Sweatmen connection as I have cousins married to a SWEATMAN/SWEETMAN.
