John Whitsett/Whitesides, White co., IL
I am looking for information on the parents and siblings of my 4th great grandfather, John Whitsett/Whitesides. (Sometimes his name was written as Whitsett and other times it was written as Whitesides.)John was born between 1800-1810, the place is unknown.He married his wife, Elizabeth Staley, on 1 Feb., 1825, in White county, Illinois.They had three daughters, all of whom where born in White county: 1) Elizabeth "Eliza" Whitesides, b. 8 May, 1827. She married Riley Magers on 2 Oct., 1845, in White county.2) Nancy Whitesides, b. abt. 1831. She was married twice: first, Arthur Robinson, 6 Aug., 1848, Mahaska co., IA, and second, John Arnold Reiber, 27 May, 1866, Marshall co., IA.3) Mary J. Whitesides, b. abt. 1832.She married John A. Welch.John died before 14 November, 1835 (date of his probate record), again in White county.He was somewhere between the ages of 25 and 35 when he died.There were other Whitsett's/Whitesides' in White county, though I don't know how they are related to this family.I was once told by an Illinois Whitesides researcher that the Whitsett's of White county might have come over from Gibson county, Indiana, though I have no idea if that is the case.If anyone knows anything about John's family, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.Thanks:-)
