Biography

Richard Whitt III was born about 1770 in Virginia Colony (possibly in Montgomery County where his father's will was written in 1807))[1]. An unsourced middle name of Thomas was initially proposed in this profile.

It appears Richard passed away before 1817 based on his last appearance in the 1815 Tazewell County tax list and only his wife being listed in 1817 lists and forward[1].

Marriage

Richard Whitt and "Betsey" Baxter were married in 1797 in Montgomery Co. Virginia[2]. Additional research is needed (see research notes) to verify this relationship.

Research Notes

Additional research needs to be completed on this marriage. Althea Boddy has proposed Betsey Baxter as the 2nd wife of Richard Whitt, Jr. (father of Richard III); however, Richard III is also a plausible relationship [3].

Whitt-234 and Whitt-227 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate (corrected est. birth, sourced). Import of GEDcom had 2 profiles for Richard Whitt (III).

Whitt-313 and Whitt-227 appear to represent the same person because: Clearly a duplicate profiles for the same man. Death dates are very different, but still for same man. Both dates can be listed in biography pending further research and addition of primary sources (instead of Family Trees.)
