Notes |
- Jonas married his first cousin Susannah Whitt, daughter of Archibald Whitt. Archibald was the brother of Hezekiah Whitt, father of Jonas. Jonas Followed his father Hezekiah Whitt to Tazewell county after David Crockett Whitt was born, around 1837.
After Susannah died about 1839, (probably in child birth with Hannah) Jonas took his son David Crockett, and Moved to Greenup County Kentucky. This trip of about 200 miles had to be hard. Jonas went to KY. to build a grist mill on Big White Oak Creek Farm, for Dr.Samuel Truitt, The Post Master of Truittsville. How this Job and move come about I have not found out.(Most likely through Richard Nelson "Devil Dick" Whitt, his brother who lived the next county over from Greenup, Carter County Kentucky) Samuel Truitt had a daughter named Milred who Married Jonas on 08 Feb.1848.
I visited the cemetery on a bluff overlooking Big White Oak Creek where Jonas is buried. I was shown the trace where Jonas dug for the mill. It is grown up with brush and briars now. David Crockett Whitt son of Jonas and Susannah was a young boy when he went to Ky. with his father Jonas. Crockett was born in 1836 and Jonas remarried in 1848, makeing David Crockett about 12 at the time.
David Crockett Whitt moved back to Virigina sometime between 1848 and 1859 where He married Arminda Robinett. D.C. Whitt's family lived in Tazewell and Russell County VA.
