I'm trying to find out who the parents are of John William McWhorter (b. 1807 W. Virginia, d. 1869 Hickman, Kentucky). I've seen a lot of posts showing John McWhorter (1775-1871) as father and Paulina Polly Denham (1775-1849) as the mother. I need confirmation that this is true and also any information going backwards from John McWhorter (1775-1871) showing his lineage possibly back to Alexander McWhorter (b. 1641 in Ireland). I have a friend who has been searching for 40 years trying to find the parents of his progenitor, John William McWhorter (1807-1869). Any help is appreciated. Kind regards, Celeste Kvetensky
