CAUTION

CAUTION: This cannot be stressed enough. The genealogical conclusions within this source / book about the relationships between the Weddington progenitors are false and have been debunked!!! It is very important to consult the Errata / Corrigenda below.

However, this book is still worthwhile in several ways:

• As history about the genealogical research of the Weddington family, even if some of the conclusions are false. It is good to know where the stories come from, so we can make corrections and do good genealogy.
• This book was compiled from information and stories from Weddington family members first-hand that were sent to its author. There are many stories and pieces of stories and information not found elsewhere. Some of these may turn out to be false as well, but again, this has value as history of the research.

Errata / Corrigenda

1. Title Page: William & John Weddington are brothers in the North Carolina Weddington family. There are other siblings to William and John in the North Carolina family that are not listed on the cover, namely: Samuel, Robert, and Elizabeth. From the Virginia / Kentucky Weddington family are two brothers: Jacob Weddington & Henry. The two from North Carolina are not brothers to the two from Virginia / Kentucky. There are no known (yet) relationships between the North Carolina Weddington family and the Virginia / Kentucky Weddington family. DNA work is ongoing to determine if there is a relationship or not.
