Biography

Isaac Ellis Whitsett was born in ~1804 in Montgomery county, Kentucky, United States. His father is unknown and Rebecca (Stewart) Whitsett (~1778 - 1825) was his mother. His surname is Whitsett only because his divorced mother still had that as her last name.

His siblings were...

1. Mary Whitsett (1802 - 1861) (half-sister)
2. Stewart Whitsett (~1807 - ~1871) (either full or half-brother.

In 1803 Joseph Whitsett, husband of Rebecca) placed an article in the Lexington Gazette informing the public he had separated from his wife. Two Whitsett brothers this Isaac and Stewart Whitsett where born to Rebecca Stewart after 1803. DNA tests have directly indicated that Stewart is not biologically the descendant of Joseph Whitsett. It is possible but not confirmed that Isaac is also not biologically descendant of Joseph either.
