In researching my wifes family history in Sumner County, TN. where Samuel McWhirter married a Narcissus Johnson in 1880. This part is true but Narcissus was not the daughter of James P. Johnson and Priscilla D. Lumsdale. To protect the integrity of our family histories yours and mine we need to get this resolved.

I have all the information that would resolve this and to identify the real J.Johnson and Priscilla.Please help

Thank you

A number of African American McWhirter's hailed from Spartenburg, SC and some are propurted to be buried in New Prospect Cemetery. I could not find the one I was looking for as I believe the grave may be too old and not readable at this time. I am researching J. Waddie Whirter who was married to Hattie Lattimore in 1901 in Cleveland County, NC. They both were school teachers and found the McWhirter Academy for Colored Students in Spartenburg. My great aunt died in 1949 and J W was still living. I have not been able to find a death certificate for him although there is one in SC for Hattie.

I don't know if this relates at all but my father in law's name is William McWhirter and he was from Pittsburgh. He died in April of 2006. I am wondering if there is any connection there.

Anyone know anything about a William McWhirter born around 1790 in England? He immigrated to the US and had a son Eli McWhirter in Pittsburgh around 1839.

Thanks!

Saskatchewan_military — 2009-04-13 17:34:52Z

Thanks for that page. I don't know why I couldn't get it to come up? Maybe just something with the browser? I will email you that certificate, perhaps you can then print it off in full that way.
I has been a pleasure, I will shoot along any info on the Traills if I find some.
Cheers!

Hi Angela,
Thank you for the requested info. I can read the certificate very clearly but it only prints 1/2 the page. I will look for it on Ancestry.

Attached should be the Who's Who entry for Thomas.

If that doesn’t work you are welcome to email me at bbhomeaz@msn.com and I will email it to you.

You have been a bright light in my search. Let's stay in touch on common interests. Happy hunting!

All for now ..... Elizham

Saskatchewan_military — 2009-04-12 08:14:59Z

Thomas H McWhirter died 3 Sept 1933 in the township of York, Ontario. He was buried at Prospect Cemetery on the 6 Sept 1933. I don't have a death date for Annie, but on the death certificate it lists him as widowed, so she died bef 1933. He was an insurance agent/broker, as stated on his certificate. The information was filled out by his brother Edward McWhirter.

I do not know if there is a living link to thier children, the son could still be alive, althought it is a long shot. I only found them last month when the Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta 1916 Census data was released.

Thanks for the link, the page was there, but only the top of it with his name. I don't know if there was any more info there or not, but I couldn't get it to open up any further.

Happy Easter to you as well!
Angela

elizham — 2009-04-12 06:20:43Z

Hi again,
Thank you for the picture of the handsome young Thomas H McWhirter. Thank you also for the info on their children.
Can you provide the date of death and place of burial for Thomas and hopefully Annie? Are there any living descendents of Annie and Thomas I could get in touch with?

Try this web address: http://books.google.com/books?ei=I3rhSc68FaKuzASVvbiuDQ&...
Then click on “Who’s who in Canada – Page 928” It takes a bit of time to load. It will take you right to the entry. If it dosn't work let me know and we can try plan two.

I used Ancestry for two years but ran out of “finds”, so I use it at the libraries now for free. It is a limited version and can not go into family trees the same as when I was a member. I will look for your family tree my next opportunity. I have a Traill family tree on Ancestry. It has Gordon D Traill, Annie (Traill) McWhirter’s father and other’s in it. I have some new info that I will add someday when I rejoin Ancestry.

Thank you again. Look forward to your reply. Happy Easter!
All for now ..... Elizham

Re: McWhirter's fron Georgetown, Ontario Canada

Saskatchewan_military — 2009-04-11 18:08:49Z

Thier children were Isabella McWhirter born 1906 in Brandon, Manitoba, Gilleen McWhirter born 1908 in Manitoba, and John McWhirter born 1913 in Saskatchewan.

I don't have any photos of Annie, and I would be very interested in what information you found on Thomas McWhirter in the "Who's Who in Canada 1922" book. I just tried searching for it and can't seem to track down a copy of that book yet. I have some photos of Thomas and his brothers on my Family Tree.

Re: McWhirter's fron Georgetown, Ontario Canada

elizham — 2009-04-11 17:15:55Z

Hello Saskatchewan_military,

Annie (Traill) McWhirter is my great aunt on my father’s side. I found the connection in “Who’s Who in Canada 1922” thru Google Books. It has a picture of Thomas H McWhirter and lots of other info. I also found their marriage record on Ancestry. That is where my info ends on Thomas H and Annie McWhirter. I would love to have a picture of Annie and stories of their life. Do you know their children’s names or any living connection?

Thanks for your reply. A living connection is such a treat! Is there anything about my Traill line that would help you?

All for now ..... Elizham

Re: McWhirter's in Canada

Hi,
Yes that is my Thomas McWhirter. He was my Great-Uncle. His Brother James was my Great-Grandad. I have been trying to track down info on the McWhirter's for a while. The name is hard to track, seeing as it is spelled incorrectly on most of the documents I have found.

I am looking forward to talking with you about this line!
Cheers!

OOPS I goofed - It is Thomas H not Thomas Alexander. I am working on the Traill family history of Walkerton, ON. Annie Traill married Thomas H McWhirter Sep 28, 1904. They had one son and two daughters. I think that is the Thomas H in your query.
Look forward to your reply.

Do you know of any living descendants of Cora and Lorenzo?

Andrew McWhirter and Elizabeth Rowan, scotland to Ontario

SusanWilsonTait22 — 2008-04-05 19:52:39Z

I am trying to trace the two people below with * and notes, I figured if i posted what I had found it might trigger something.
Andrew McWhirter b July 1 1831 in Scotland married Elizabeth Rowen b june 18 1841 scotland??
They had the following children that I found probably is more but these ones have marriage records online:

Aggie W McWhirter b abt 1869 married James O McDonald in Wellington County July 13 1887

Elizabeth McWhirter b abt 1866 married George Milne in Dufferin Cty Dec 27 1892

*Margaret McWhirter b abt 1871 married David Smith in Grand Valley Jan 5 1898 (* my connection David would be G G Uncle)

Sarah Ellen McWhirter b about 1882 married William Thomas Hills in Dufferin Cty Jan 20 1904

William Ivie McWhirter b abt 1876 married Elizabeth Reid in Grey Cty Dec 26 1906

*Gilbert McWhirter b abt 1865 married Jean Hay in Dufferin Cty Aug 15 1900 (*Jean's mother is a brother to David Smith above, the creepy connection haha making her 1st cousin2 time remove)

And of course Gilbert and Margaret are brother and sister.

The McWhirters show on the census in 1881 as living in Wellington North East Luther Township as well as in 1901 and 1911 same location.

I am trying to trace the offspring of Margaret and Gilbert if anyone has information that would be great!

Thanks in advance

George McWh*rter 1780/1847 SC/TN

FUQUA — 2007-09-10 18:27:36Z

I am seeking any information on the following family.

George McWh*rter was born in SC between 1780 and 1790. He was married to Matilda ______ who was born in SC about 1791. They were probably married there about 1810.

By 1820 they were living in TN. They appear to have lived in Wilson and Lincoln counties, and were then enumerated in the Hardin County Census for 1840.

George died in the 11th Civil District of Hardin County in 1847. Matilda died there in 1857.

They had several children, including Aaron E.B. (B: abt 1811 SC), Matilda H. (B: abt 1822, TN), Narcissa A. (B: abt 1830, TN) and Anna F. (B: abt 1830, TN). There were probably other daughters.

Re: McWhiter's of Blackburn Mines - Princeton BC

wendydon144 — 2007-07-25 04:14:30Z

The first generation I have record of goes back to Thomas McWhirter born in 1770 married to Mary Campbell. They had a child named Thomas born in 1793 married to Catherine Alexander in Airshire. Their children were William, Hugh,And Mary. I goes on from there. The record I got off this site came from a lady who studies geneology for a hobby. She sent me two family files. I haven't had time to verify the infomation. My granfather comes in in 1896 4th generation. There in another Archibald Cree McWhirter born feb 1st 1904 in aryshire who pased on sept 9 1986. I look like Thomas McWhirter was tyhe father and Margaret Carson was Thomas' wife.

Also according to my information their father was Thomas and their mother was Margaret. Their father Thomas also had many siblings. Is this what you have in your records?

Re: McWhiter's of Blackburn Mines - Princeton BC
