Hi, I am a Whittemore from Tennessee and have been tracing my family roots for sometime. I've gotten back to a 4th great grandfather whose name was Gower Whittemore (Whitemore). I hired a researcher from NC who found a great deal of information, but was unable to find who his parents were. He may have come from Brunswick, VA. Gower married Pasty Dickens in NC abt. 1798 before moving to TN abt. 1806. His family settled in Coffee Co before he went to Louisiana & died there on Jan. 30, 1815 as a result of either injuries or sickness from the Battle of New Orleans. Does anyone know anything about Gower?
Thank you, Marilyn
