Hi All, (Incl other related Lists that might also have an interest in this
info)
This message is, IMHO, a PERFECT set of informed notes for you to post
in the Notes sections of your Gen program. Bill & Jean have put some effort
into their response, and you should insure that future gens have this data
accessible for their own research.
Frankly, it just doesn't get much better than this - you or your
descendants could pay hunderds of dollars, or a LOT more, and still not get
the expertise & informed value avail here for free!!!!!!!
Keep it forever!
Barry
PS: I hope it is understood that there are many other such emails that have
been formulated to also be impor to retain. If you are behind times, I
suggest that you go to your families Lists (such as Witherington-L):
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/w/witherington.html
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/w/wetherington.html
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/w/widdrington.html
(and your other family surnames), and begin Browsing the messages for the
last 4-5 yrs, selecting and saving those you want your descendants to see.
There are many!!! Burn a CD full Now, and every 3-6 mos!
PPS: I put this message initially into my notes for Wm Jr and his family
(if it doesn't all fit in one notes), but will copy and move to other
relevant families. Err on the part of keeping it in more than one place,
AND, make a copy of the data to store in your backup location. AND, if you
have no backup storage (floppies, zips, CDs, attached extra drives, on other
relatives computers, in the List Archives, etc,) then do it NOW.

WITHERINGTON, NOAH AL Autauga 10/10/1840 Cahaba 34522 AL1810__.203
(???)
Most likely son of Robert Witherington, Jr and Lois Hardison from Pitt Co,
NC
WITHERINGTON, ROBERT AL Geneva 11/1/1858 Elba 22696 AL2460__.280
(???)
A logical choice would be a son of the above (need to check the 1850 census
for Autoauga Co, AL)
There is a R T Witherington in the 1860 census Eufaula (Eastern) Barbour,
AL
(Robert T?)
WITHERINGTON, SETH S AL Tuscaloosa 10/1/1860 Tuscaloosa 38196 AL2960__.053
(???)
No problem except with his parents. He is Seth Smith md to Louisa
Catherine
Sealy whose son Henry Holly migrated to Apopka, FL.
WITHERINGTON, WILLIAM AL Geneva 1/3/1860 Elba 24823 AL2500__.114
WITHERINGTON, WILLIAM AL Geneva 3/8/1898 Elba 22605 AL1580__.488
(???)
William Witherington md Mary Ann Matthews -- Again who are his parents?
This is Coleen Mount's ancestor. Is Robert his brother?? Could his father
be a Robert from NC?
WITHERINGTON, WILLIAM W AL Houston 6/2/1897 Montgomery 20508
AL2520__.500
(???)
There is a William W Witherington in Leon Co, FL in 1830. Could the above
William be a son??
WITHERINGTON, WILLIE L AL Escambia 6/22/1895 Montgomery 25381
