Review merge of Rachel Lewis Whitehead (McKinney) into Rachel May Lewis Whitehead (McKinney)
Merged September 27, 2021 at 2:23 PM by Delores Ann Leber

COlonial America.
Erica Howton, please help?
Colonel William West Whitehead, Sr. and Colonel William West Whitehead, Sr. are NOT the same and comes in as both being husband because of a merge.
These are two different men and apparently two different women.

Both men are showing as sons of my 7th great grands which you have curated Arthur Whitehead, Jr. and Mary Whitehead

Private User thank you for bringing attention to the profiles

Mary Rachel Whitehead Wife of William whitehead

Ref: https://www.fayette.net/pioneers/Whitehead%20Qrtly08.pdf

No such person as Edward Whitehead.

Arthur Whitehead Jr. (Arthur1)was born about 1650 in the Isle of Wight, Virginia where he lived until his death about 1710. He married Mary Godwin (Abt 1670), daughter of William Godwin and Elizabeth Wright.

They had four children:

  1. Martha (B. abt 1671),
  2. Col. William 1 West (B. 1672 in Isle of Wight, VA.. D. abt 1723, Edgecomb CO., NC),
  3. Lewis (B. Bet. 1672-1700, D. Bet. 1672-1761), (?)
  4. Arthur III (B. 1673, Isle of Wight, VA., D. May 1758, Southampton Co., VA.), #Robert (B. Abt. 1674 in Isle of wight Co., VA.)

After the death of his wife Mary, Arthur Jr. married ? Purcell, daughter of Arthur Purcell. Research has not turned up any children by this union.

There is indication that Arthur Jr. was a cooper, a maker of barrels. He was also reputed to have been illiterate and sign all documents with an "X". A man by the name ofJohn Scott Davenport wrote "Arthur's sons were illerite, he was illerite....He married upwards".7

Is there a Rachel Lewis?

The name Is seen, but that’s not what the study calls her.

Thank you so so much for the clean up and the MP flag, Erica Howton

I disconnected my 6th great grandmother Isabella Purcell from him and made the request to merge her with the curated profile. Added a marriage link from Geni to Rachel. Looking to see if there are any other issues but thank you. Looks good so far to me.
Private User have you had a chance to review?

Sorry-- marriage link from Ancestry, not Geni, to his profile. I think it is gone now with the clean up so I will add it again

Does that second wife need to go?
Peggy Whitehead

Looking at now. Yes, it's looking better. Think someone had her birth name, mixed with her sons given name Lewis. Mixed up research, a little. Seems to be getting better. Bad merges messes up things, i see.

Re the marriage record. “William Whitehead in the U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900.”

Reminder that it’s not a reliable collection.

I wouldn’t disconnect Peggy Lewis without more research, it could be the origin of the spurious Lewis surname for Rachel. Add notes to profile instead.

Thank you :)

???

Researching into Peggy Lewis, and Rachel got a John Lewis as father. Time and place, with relations in order. Always needing sources.

Charlie McKinney is my McKinney research favorite in that area. He knows alot about McKinney and relatives.

Private User bring what you have here and the profiles can be discussed. It's all about the sources and making sure folks don't get mismerged :)
