Faddy Whittington’s wife was Rebecca Rosser, not Roper. James Rosser devised his will in Johnston County, North Carolina on April 18, 1800 leaving bequests to wife Alice Rosser, son Elisha Rosser, son Benjamin Rosser, son Elijah Rosser, and son Isaac Rosser. Also receiving legacies were daughters Rebecca Whittington and Betsy Rosser. The will contains a provision that daughter Rebecca was to receive the “land and plantation where she and husband Faddy Whittington live.” The will appointed wife Alice Rosser, and John and James Rosser as executors. Drury Vinson, John Rosser, and James Rosser witnessed the will. The will was contested.
On January 19, 1801, John Rosser conveyed to Faddy Whittington, for 261 Pounds and 10 Shillings, 318 acres on the South side of Middle Creek adjoining Osborn Hunter and James Rosser. The deed was witnessed by Moses Johnson and Isaac Rosser, and was proven at February Court, 1801 [Johnston County, NC Deed Book Z-1, p. 177]. At December Court, 1801, an account and division of the estate of James Rosser, decd. was recorded. The heirs of the estate were the widow Rosser, James Rosser, Abraham Rosser, Faddy Whittington, Elijah Rosser, Elisha Rosser decd., Benjamin Rosser, and Alex Smith [Johnston County, NC Record of Estates, Volume 4, 1800-1804, p. 81]. Later on March 29, 1803, Alexander Smith, James Rosser, Elijah Rosser, and Faddy Whittenton conveyed to John Eason, for 500 Pounds, 421 acres on both sides of Middle Creek. The deed was witnessed by David Bell and Isaac Rosser, and proven at May Court, 1803 [Johnston County, NC Deed Book B-2, p. 269]. The following year on January 23, 1804, Faddy Whittington sold to Osborn Hunter for the sum of $600 two tracts of land on the South side of Middle Creek. The first tract consisted of 318 acres adjoining James Rosser, Sr., Theophilus Hunter, and James Rosser, Jr. The second tract contained 353 acres, being land which fell to Whittington from the estate of James Rosser, decd. Samuel Deloach and Permely Cooper(?) witnessed the deed, which was proven in court during February Term, 1804 [Johnston County, NC Deed Book C-2, p. 159].
