Elbert McWhorter- New Castle Delaware- born 1731
Wish to contact anyone who may have more information on this McWhorter line. My ancestress was daughter of Elbert who is said to be son of Hugh and Jane (Jean)McWhorter. Agnes Nancy married to Robert McGough and they lived in Mecklenburg North Carolina. There are a number of families in that area predominantly Scot-Irish- namely the McElroys, Kennedys, Armstrongs, McGoughs, Carsons, etc. who are my families. The McWhorters in this area are said to have come over to America from the Armaugh, Scotland area and there were believed to have been 9 branches of the family as depicted in the family crest which was shaped like a harp with 9 strings. Can anyone verify this info? It is also said they originally were of Roskille, Denmark but settled in the Highlands of Scotland near Loch Lomond.
George McWhorter who married Violet McElroy is named in will of John McElroy and wife Martha of Waxhaw Creek, in Mecklenburg. I have a ton of info on the McElroys if anyone is interested. Also have history on Robert McGough families.Thanks Lucy Vickers Grisham, Lewisville, Texas
