| HISTORY: | Thomas Whitted,
Esquire, also known as Thomas Whitted Sr., was the progenitor of the
Whitteds on this website. He lived in Orange County, North Carolina, and was
probably born in the early 1750s. Around 1804 he began buying property for a
new plantation, called Mt. Willing, not far from his Whitted Creek property
in Orange County. Thomas was also a justice of the peace. He had two wives,
the first one’s name is not known. By his first wife he had nine children
between about 1774 and 1793. His first wife must have died by 1813, because
he married Sarah Kirk, the widow of Lewis Kirk, on 4 September 1813. They
had no children together. Thomas died at Mt. Willing 5 August 1820. Most of
his children left North Carolina for Indiana and Tennessee. |
