Question

Did Robert Whitten move to Tennessee?

Comments

There were many Robert Whitten's born in the  early 1700's in th UK, but it seems difficult to see which one might be Elijah Whitten's father, unless some additional info becomes available.

If Robert Whitten's birth year or birth location, marriage year or location and name of spouse becomes known, it could narrow down the field and improve the liklihood of a satisfactory answer to your question.

Answer 1

H. Robert Whitten was born 1903 in NY and was in Knoxvill, TN at the time of the US Census, 1940.

Robert E. Whitten was born in KY in 1898 and live in Lincoln, TN in 1920.

Robert Whiton was born in NC 1904, married Viola, and lived in Unicoi, TN 1940.

Are any of these, the person you are asking about? If not, do you have a birth year and location?

It appears they is asking about the Robert on the profile link, whose son Elijah was b in 1734.

Not finding anything on Robert Whitten, unknown birth year, unknown birth location. Assume that he married on or before Elijah's birth year of 1734.

Answer 2

Your Elijah Whitten was a Daughters of the American Revolution ancestor.  He is. the first one on the list,but there are several others from SC.  http://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search/.  On this searchpage, just enter "Ancestor Last Name" as Whitten and runthe search.  Looks like lots of potential there.
