Hi Wayne,
Well, I am certainly not going to argue with an genealogy expert.That would be you.
I do value your response.In doing so, you provided me an opportunity that I have long overlooked.And that is reviewing a considerable amount of your research.(I knew to do this.Was on my back burner.Also knew/know how time consuming this will be.) But also very interesting.And the latter is what counts. So I do thank you very much!
Now having rambled.....some tidbits here. From just a quick glance at your numerous posts on various genfourms, I am familar with many of the surnames that you have referenced.Have a number of these colonial VA families in my database.
What I don't have are references.Because for the most part, what I have gleamed is from the hard work of other seasoned researchers, such as you.When people cite their sources, as you do, I consider that good enough for me. And again, remain grateful for people like you.
Let me just dash off a few notes here:Elizabeth Fitzpatrick b 1802 (two census records say TN while two others say NC) m Lewis Wilburn b 1802. They are my second great-grandparents. In 1860, a Henry Whitt b 1853 is living in their household in Carter Co KY)By 1870, the family relocated to Harrison Co IN and Henry Whitt again appears living in their household.) I have yet to learn the parents of Henry Whitt and how he is related to Lewis and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Wilburn.(I suspect a grandson.) Wilburn roots in early colonial VA 1600's. In Goochland, VA on Lickinghole Creek by 1750.
Other tidbits:Some Wilburn families related to my ancestors (proven by DNA tests) were married into Bonner and Hix families. (Bonner and Hix/Hicks marriages in Sussex Co VA plus other parts of VA)
I cite these tidbits of just a sampling to explain why I need to study your research carefully.
Lastly, are you convinced that Edward Writt is not part of
your Witt/Whitt line?
Thanks for your time.
