Looking for descendants of Rev. Leroy McWhorter (1797-1875) who moved from SC to GA sometime in the 1830s or 1840s and settled in Carroll County, Villa Rica area. Leroy was one of the founders and the first pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church. Married Mary Elizabeth Thomasson (Thompson, Thomson) in SC. Children:
Moses Allen McWhorter (1820-1902, my link) m. Sarah Kinney. Both buried in Powell's Chapel cemetery near Villa Rica.
Sarah M. McWhorter, b. 1822, m. George M. Johnston
Mary Ann E. McWhorter, b. 1823
Johnson McWhorter, b. 1826
Laura McWhorter, b. 1827, m. William Thompson
Thomas Benson McWhorter, b. 1829, died in Civil War. Married Martha Barr.
Elizabeth McWhorter, b. 1831, m. Madison M. Bolton
Newton Alexander McWhorter, b. 1833, m. Celia Eliza (Elizabeth) Wilson
Dr. Franklin, b. 1836, died in Civil War. Married Nancy Ann Lucinda Wilson (sister to Celia above).

I have some information but need to fill in a lot of gaps. Will gladly share any info I have. Any help appreciated. Many thanks ...
