Anecdote Note: According to a story passed down to Sadie Terry, "When he (John R. Whited) was a baby the Northern soldiers tried to make his mom (Evelyn T. Whited) tell where his father (Edward W. Whited) was. They slung him around by his heels and were about to bash his head against a tree. Still she wouldn't tell where he was; that she didn't know. I understand he was in hiding, but not sure."

E.W. Whited and wife, E.T. Whited sold one and three quarters acres to B.P. Sinclair for $275. Book T page 557 E.W. Whited deeded about one-half acre of land to the trustees of the Methodist Epistable Church
