Origins

Thomas Whitley, born in 1658, married Mary Street, and they had five sons and three daughters. Before 1742, their son William (b. 1690) moved to Northampton Co., NC, on the Meherrin River just south of the Virginia line. His neighbors were John Dew and John Barnes. William died in 1751, leaving his estate to wife Julian, sons Jacob, James, William Jr., Arthur (our ancestor), Joseph, Nathan, and daughters Elizabeth (married Joseph Barnes), Julian (married Jacob Barnes), Susannah, Bridget, and Mourning. Arthur Whitley married Sarah Barnes and moved to Edgecomb (Wilson) County where his descendants still live, many around Gardner’s School and Holden’s Crossroads.
