This is actually 4 books in one of information on 4 different families that are interrelated: Whitaker * Reed * Harper & Wright. Each family has its own separate section & is individually numbered each including its own index: WHITAKER, p. 1-340; Reed, P. 1-60; Harper, P. 1-64; Wright: P. 1-57 --total of 521 pages. I am going to give the names that appear the most often from each section. There is a neat history of the Whitaker family fortune -- supposedly a Whitaker ancestor loaned King George III of England a large sum of money and never got repaid. The pursuit of the loan makes a very interesting story. There is also a section on the Carleton family. Names in the Whitaker Index: Adams * Allen * Anderson * Ash * Baker * Baldwin * Ballew * Barnhill/Barnwell * Barnwell/Barnhill * Barton * Boone * Brevard * Bristow * Brookshire * Bryson * Canady * Carleton * Case * Cauble * Clark(e) * Cole * Conner/Connor * Cooper * Cordell * Cox/e * Davis * Dotson * Duckett/Ducket * Edmundson/Edmondson * Edney * Fortune * Freeman * Garren (lots & lots & lots * Grant (lots & lots & lots) * Green * Hall * Harper (lots & lots) * Harris * Hill * Jenkins (lots & lots) * Jones (lots) * King * Lanning (lots & lots) * Lytle * Marlow * McBrayer (lots & lots) * McCrary/McCreary (lots & lots) * Merrill/Merrell (lots & lots) * Miller (lots & lots) * Mitchell * Moore * Morgan * Ownbey/Owenby, Owenby, Onbey * Pinkerton * Pressley/Presley * Redmon * Reed * Rogers/Rodgers * Sales * Sitton * Smith * Sorrells * Spivey * Stroup/e * Taylor * Trantham * Watkins * Whitaker *Williams * Wilson * Wright. Names from the REED index are: Ashworth * Clements * Dalton * Davis * Garren * Garrison * Huntley * Jones * Merrel (lots) * Reed (lots of course) * Sales * Whitaker * Williams * Wright.
