A poem titled "Ancestry", written by CHARLES C. MCWHORTER, appeared in the June 1997 issue of the Charlotte County (Florida) Genealogical Society newsletter. It begins "I am the fruit of a million years" and ends "For thousands move in my surging blood, and millions walk behind". I want to secure Mr. McWhorter’s permission to include this poem in my Hyer family history book to be published this year. Can someone put me in touch with him? Harry Eugene Webster
I am looking for help on the MCQUARTERS name. The earliest name I have is JOSEPH MCQUARTERS, (b. 1836, Chatham, England. He was a glass manufacturer. He married 1st JANE HAMILTON and 2nd ELIZABETH LATHAM. JOSEPH came to New Zealand in 1911 and died 11-Nov-1926. There is one known son - WILLIAM HENRY MCQUARTERS. Gaye Ward
I’m wondering if someone can tell me why researchers all seem to agree that MOSES MCWHORTER, who we believe was married to a MARLIN, died around 1856/57? If this is true I’m wondering about something DAVIS L. MCWHORTER wrote in 1953. He states that in the will of MARGERY MARLIN in Chester Co., PA (1769) that along with a bequest to AGNES FERRIER and ELIZABETH, wife of WILLIAM MCWHORTER, part of her property was left to JOHN ROBINSON, "with whom she had lived twenty years." Were MARGERY and MOSES separated before MOSES died? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I found this statement in an article titled "McWhorter Compendiums - Moses McWhorter" by DAVIS L. MCWHORTER, Bethel, N.C., November 1953. This original is in the Davis L. McWhorter Papers, Collection No. 230, at East Carolina University, Greenville, NC. This has caused me to wonder what basis we have for MOSES’ time of death. Laura McWhirter Harker
I am looking for info on the THOMAS MCWHIRTER family from Ireland. He and his wife SARAH moved to the United States some time after 1846. They had three sons that I know of, SAMUEL (b. 1836); JAMES H. (b. 1843); and, GEORGE (b. 1846). They lived in Vermont from about 1860 to 1870. I found them on the 1860 census, 1870 census and then no record of them in 1880. I know that SAMUEL died in 1874, I am his direct descendant. What happened to JAMES and GEORGE after 1870? Where did they go? If anyone has any info please let me know. Jeannie M. Halversen
Looking for any information on JOHN THOMAS MCWHIRTER (b. 18??; d. 1916 or 1917), last known location Chester co., TN. He married MARY "Mollie" ROUSE. Known child: MARGARET "Maggie" LUCINDA MCWHIRTER who married MANSOL HURST in Chester co., TN. Probable child: LULA MAE MCWHIRTER who married an unknown EASLEY - then married a SAULSBERRY. Possible child (or brother to JOHN THOMAS): GEORGE MCWHIRTER. The story told by my mother was that in 1916 or 1917 the family (except for Maggie and one cousin named JIM EASLEY) died in a flu epidemic. My grandmother (Maggie) took Jim into her home and raised him. Obviously, LULA MAE did not die, as she remarried and had more children. I would like any info, particularly JOHN THOMAS’ parents names and siblings’ names. Thelma Sutton
We found a Bible which was owned by a MARY MAY MCWHORTER in a box of books in the attic of our Grandmother’s house. According to its inscription, it was given to Ms. MCWHORTER by her mother and father at Christmas in 1899. The Bible contains a number of newspaper clippings of poems, cartoons, and wedding announcements (including that of Miss ISIS HUTTON and Mr. KINSLEY MCWHORTER, Miss MAIE MCWHORTER and Dr. EDMUND UPSHUR POTTER in 1917). My 86 year old Grandma worked as a domestic for a number of years, and recalls only that she received a box of books from an employer some 56 years ago, and that this Bible was among them. Is this of interest to anyone? Walter Dowtin

She married ROBERT SMITH and they were definitely living in Munford, Talledega co, AL when their son, THOMAS W. SMITH was born in 1872.

Does anyone have more data on M. M. MCWHORTER [db#22455] (b. 13-Jun-1852)? In searching for THOMAS FRANK MCWHORTER (b. Jun-1852) I wonder if M. M. has been assigned to the wrong family.

I am researching a Rev. G. W. MCWHERTER (or MCWHORTER), active in last half of the 19th century in Knox co., OH. He may be the same as GEORGE W. MCWHORTER in Hill, N. N., Jr., 1881, HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY, OHIO, page 483, under the history of the Centreburgh Cumberland Presbyterian Church (later renamed the Rich Hill Cumberland Presbyterian). He served there as pastor for 1872. At one point we find him attempting to raise funds for a home for orphans by soliciting donations from schoolchildren. I am trying to help the Knox County Historical Society to find if the project was ever completed, and who this man was. Perhaps he has descendants who know the story? Any assistance would be very much appreciated. Paul S. Boyer

Any help and/or information on the Georgia McWhirter family and possible connections is greatly appreciated. Loretta Cozart
