Lewis Williams was one of his slaves who became a prominent teacher in Macon. Lewis was named in The History of Macon, published by the Macon News in 1929. [4] The date that Whittle obtained Lewis Williams is not documented, but if he acquired him before 1850, then it is likely that the 16 year old black male on that census would be Lewis.

Research Notes

Caveat: The assignment of the names of these people (if any) to particular positions on the Slave Schedules is the best estimate based on census or vital records information, some of which is inconsistent. Therefore, their placement is not to be considered absolutely factual, and may be adjusted in light of newer or more accurate information.
