1. Has anyone ever proved the parents of Benjamin F Whitefield 1824-1882? In 1860 he and Hiram (b. 1827) are neighbors. Were they brothers? I haven't found Hiram other than that one census so far.
- - In 2003 I received a copy of a letter in the possession of Charles Powell, Benjamin's descendant. In the letter he mentions walking from Kentucky to Tennessee. He says he spent a night with "unkle William Whitefield".Part of the way he accompanied by George and Herd Roberts. George is my great-grandfather and this made Charles and I agree that Benjamin is a brother to my gg-grandmother M. Elizabeth "Bell" Whitefield Roberts and therefore a son of Thomas Whitefield.
HAve not heard of Hiram.Then, again, I haven't been able to access all the census records available.
