CAME TO OREGON AS A CHILD
Pendleton, Or. April 11

James P. Whittemore, an early Oregon pioneer died here Thursday. Mr. Whittemore came to Oregon when a child in 1852, in company with his father and mother Thomas M. and Nancy Whittemore, both of whom have been dead for a number of years. He married Miss Helen Seadon in 1877. All of their seven children are living.

I found a wedding announcement of a Ruby Whittemore from Pendleton who married Dr. H.E. Morris in May of 1910. If you would like it, you can contact me and I will e-mail it to you. It has a picture of the two, but is not a really good picture.

I lost my Family tree due to a tragic experience. It contained information going back over 1000 years if the whittemore's can be so kind as to help me re-compile my tree that would be great. It was researched over 34 years of lots of travel and long hours of research. Please help me.. Thank you email me at wewjr4@gmail.com

I had a family tree for the whittemores dating back over 1000 years. I do not recall that name but do know all whittemores in the U.S.A. are ancesters of Thomas Whittemore. There is a book written about the family tree from back then. Also our family tree has been reconized by the U. S. congress as being true and authentic back in 1897. My name is william Whittemore My father is also william His father was eugene, and his father was william and his father was josiah and his father was josiah. The last josiah listed fought in the revolunary war. In mass. If you want to email me with other questions send them to wewjr4@gmail.co

Well Hello Cousin, I will give you a little background on myself. I am the youngest of 3 sons of the late Tom Whittemore. I have been doing some research on the Whittemore's because I didn't know much about them growing up and always wondered. I have met one other cousin from my posting.

Gudger G. Whittemore was my great grandfather. I am originally from Asheville, NC. I don't know what the relation there would be but it might be interesting to investigate it.

I am a whittemore from Duval county. My family is from Nassau county (Briceville) to be exact. My father is Charles Whittemore and I have an older brother Kevin 38 still in Duval county. I haven't been close to my fathers side of the family in a very long time but it seems that we are related. I would definitely like to learn my family back ground. There was a Kaleb Whittemore from Nassau county that just passed away this week from an car accident age 16 which I have been trying to identify whether he is family. Please let me know if you know of our heritage, Brian

Re: Whittemore Sisters NC

frk1980 — 2008-04-16 19:41:05Z

Hi. I am descended from Frances "Fannie" Whittemore (b. May 1845) who married Thomas V. Coleman (through their son William Edward, and William's daughter Bertha Edna Coleman). I found Fannie living with Jane and James in the 1850 Rockingham Co., NC census. The head of the house is given as Susan Whittemore (b. ~1810). Fannie is also living with Susan in the 1860 census, also. I am assuming this is her mother. There is no father given either year, so he may have been deceased or left his family.

There are several other Whittemores in the 1850 Rockingham census, and I believe they are the children of the only elder Whittemores in Rockingham Co. in 1850, whose name is Clement Whittemore (1786-1854; wife - Martha Patsey Browder, 1783 - 1872). The names of Clement's children I have seen are Nancy, Talitha, William W., Sterling A., Isham Browder, Augustus C., and Martha Amanda (all born b/w 1809 & 1823). Sterling is said to have died in 1817, and all the other males were listed separately with families in the 1850 census, with the exception of Isham, who was living/working at a differet residence at the time. I do not believe he married based on future census records.

It's possible that there were other children who moved away. I have seen census records of Whittemores in other states that list the birth state as North Carolina, and I believe there were some in Davidson Co. at the same time. Strangely, the names are sometimes spelled differently in the same county and year (e.g. Whitmore, Whittemoore, Whittimore).

If anyone would like to share information or would like more info, please let me know.

Hi, I found William G in the 1810 census & it looks as if he was 45 or above. He wouldn't have been our Gower because Gower was in TN by that time, but I've thought he maybe Gower's father or an uncle. I am having the DNA test run on my brother to trace our Whittemore line to see if we are descended from Thomas Whittemore who came from Hitchens, England. It'll be several weeks before we know anything, but I'll let you know what I find out. In the meantime, I'm still searching for Gower's parents. Sometime in the late 1700's the Whittemore's (Whitemore) came into NC. There was a Charles, Howell & Jesse who all seem to be closely connected in that they married & appear on different documents from Orange &/or Caswell Co., NC during those times. Gower was there too & married in Caswell in 1798. Hopefully we can keep piecing together the clues until we find a connection that leads to their parents. I look forward to whatever you find out & I'll keep you posted on what I find.

marilynadams10 — 2008-07-05 11:53:03Z

Hi Debbie, Yes we have gotten the results back & we don't match Thomas Whitmore from Hitchens, England. In fact we don't match anyone who has taken the test yet. We do have several 12 point matches for others with different surnames & one 36/37 point match with a Holcomb family. I haven't followed up on that yet because we having a deeper test run on the DNA to clarify it a little further.

I don't know if not matching any of the Whittemore's so far tested means we are not Whittemore's due to adoption somewhere along the lines or if there is another branch of Whittemore's who came into the country apart from the ones that are descended from Thomas. Hopefully we'll find out before too long.

I am still looking for Gower's parents & have just recently received some information from Brunswick Co., VI where there seems to be some names we've run across in NC...Jessee & Howell as well as 2 William Whittemore's (a father & son). It seems that the younger William died & may have left his children in the care of a Gower family. This sounds a little promising, but then it may be a rabbit trail. I'll let you know what I find out.

Have a great day,
Marilyn

Re: Whittemore family

marilynadams10 — 2008-03-22 21:21:26Z

Hi Debbie, Thank you for your reply to my message. I've thought for some time that Gower was a middle name. Where might I find the information on the William G Whitemore from Brunswick, VA? Also, my information on Gower Whitemore is on my Ancestry.com site under Whittemore family. Just go to search, family trees and type in Gower Whittemore born abt 1780. I'm just guessing on his birthday. He was married to Martha Patsy Dickens from Caswell Co., NC in 1798. They stopped for a while in Jackson Co., TN and then moved onto either Cannon or Coffee Co., TN. Gower died in 1815 either from illness or injuries as a result of the Battle of New Orleans. Patsy filed and was made administrator of his estate in 1817 & she sold his discharge paper for $17.00. Patsy died in 1826 & is buried in Hopewell Baptist Cemetery in Woodbury, Cannon Co., TN. There is more on my Ancestry site, but I'll be happy to share with you whatever I have found out. Currently I am awaiting some information from NC concerning the possibility that Martha may have borne an illigetimate child in 1794. Once I get that info I am going to pass it along to a Dickens descendant who also has been looking into this. Which Whitemore family are you looking into? Let me know if I can help.

A.C. Whittemore- North Carolina

mwjw1935 — 2008-04-30 20:04:00Z

I am searching for info on Augustus C. Whittemore born about 1820 NC.
He married into my husband's Mitchell side. Francis E. Hale Mitchell and A.C.Whittemore, June 16, 1864, Rusk, TX.Marriage Book C, Page 266.

Francis must have died before 1870 as she was not with him in the 1870 Rusk, TX Census. They had a son named Clem born about 1865, Texas. I need to find the burial place for him and Frances.

mhodge38 — 2008-08-26 02:23:17Z

Gary, Can you provide some more information -- your father's name and his date or year of birth? Was he living in 1930? If so, do you know where? The census data has names and years of birth -- It might thus have his family information, and that would help look for others. (The 1940 census information is not yet available, but should be in a couple of years - I think it has to be 70 years after taken.

I had Whitmores in Chesterfield area 1830s - and later. It would really help to have some names. Have you considered a DNA test? There is a Whitmore group with a group discount -- at Family Tree DNA. FamilyTreeDNA.com. My cousin had a 37 marker test and we are looking for anyone else who might match. Thanks! Maggie Hodge

Hello,
My name is Randy Whittemore. My father's name was John Thomas Whittemore, Grandfather J. Gudger Whittemore, Great Grandfather John Franklin Whittemore. I have been doing some research as well trying to research the Whittemore family name. I have come across many other Whittemore's in Buncombe County NC. but am not sure how to connect the dots just yet. I was reading in a book called the Dillingham's of Big Ivey which listed a J. Martin Whittemore which dated him in the area of Big Ivey in the early 1800's. I would be interested in any help you could give me to help connect the dots. Good luck hunting. Randy

Re: Whittemore Sisters NC

dellis9_1 — 2008-09-09 22:57:28Z

Randy,

Your grandfather J Gudger Whittemore was the son of John Franklin Whittemore. John Franklin Whittemore was my grandfather's brother. Their father was James Braxton Whittemore, who fought in the civil war, and then later died during a gun fight. Do you know the story? I can tell it to you. I meet your grandfather Gudger on Whittemore Branch, NC, when I was a teenager. He looked so much like my Grandfather Willima Alonzo Whittemore (or Lonnie, as they used to call him). I would love to share information. Please contact me at dellis9@tampabay.rr.com
