TWO SONS OF CHARLES WHITTEN

“As descendants of John and his brother, Charles Whitten Jr., were identified, I tried to discover their roles in the settlement of lands that became the South. Typically Europeans and Africans, coming ashore at East Coast ports, settled nearby, started families, and put down roots. Subsequent generations moved south and west seeking more and better land, leaving behind relatives, records, and real estate that can still be found by those who wish to find it. Our Whittens were among them, leaving the mountains of Virginia for the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. In the process, four Whittens left South Carolina and become several thousand by the time I stopped searching.”This book is divided into four sections. Book I
