Whitmore PRICE in Georgia and Alabama
I am looking for the parents and siblings of Whitmore, any number of misspellings including Whiteman.I have that he was born in Georgia about 1795, married Sarah SPURLIN "Sally" 10 Dec 1818 in Jones County, Georgia (Georgia Marriage Index on Ancestry.com) and is on the 1840/50 Henry County, Alabama censuses.This is where my grandmother, Norma Ethel PRICE; b: 19 Jul 1897 Lawrenceville married my grandfather, Raymond Harvey BATES, 10 May 1914 Abbeville.Norma was playing the piano at the "Movies"before they were married but did not play after they left Alabama shortly after their marriage.
There are some comments attached to Whitmore's file in my database by David GALLOWAY (also a spousal familiy):
"Sterling Bartow Price by Cavid C. Galloway (GenForum ID *****4620)
Sterling Bartow Price was born 1862 in Henry County, AL, the son of William Price and Mary Roberson.
William Price was born ca. 1830 in Houston County, GA and married Mary Roberson 1/18/1849 in Henry County, AL. He died ca. 1866, possibly because of the Civil War. William Price was the son of Irvin Price and Susannah Spurlin.
Irvin Price was born ca. 1800 somewhere in GA and married Susannah Spurlin ca. 1826 in Houston County, GA. He moved to Henry County, GA ca. 1831 and died there after 1880. His brother was probably Whitmore Price born ca. 1798 somewhere in GA who married Sarah Spurlin ca. 1820 in Houston County, GA. He moved to Henry County, AL where he died after 1850."
Also as a passing interest to PRICE researchers.There is another PRICE family on my wife's side.Her cousin married Jackson V. CURLIN whose mother was, she just passed away last week, Barbara Lorenz PRICE.This family line is well researched from Wales and I have an electronic copy of a book that was written in the 1940's
Would appreciate anyone with information to contact me.
