Virginia Family: Arthur Whitehead of Isle of Wight. Edmund Dimond wrote, “William Whitehead (b. 1685) moved from Isle of Wight County, Virginia to Bertie (now Halifax) County, North Carolina, where his son, Lazarus Sr., was born about 1726. William W. Whitehead (ca. 1767-1822), a son of Lazarus Sr., was born near Swift Creek, Edgecombe (now Nash) County, North Carolina. He married Susannah Edmunds about 1797 and moved to Marion County and then Lawrence County, Mississippi. Descendants and relatives lived in North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Indiana, and elsewhere.” [18]

John Bennett Bodie wrote, "Most Whitehead's who settled in the Southern United States in the early 1800’s can trace their roots to Arthur and Katherine (Ruffin) Whitehead [grandparents of Arthur of Isle of Wight]. This line of Whitehead's migrated from Virginia into the Carolina's into Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. The first of this line into Alabama was Archibald Whitehead and his wife Nancy Smith. They came into Alabama about 1810. [27]

William W. Whitehead, son of Lazarus Whitehead & Mary Bryan, married to Susannah Edmunds and descendant of Arthur Whitehead of Isle of Wight County, moved with his wife in about 1797 "to Marion County and then Lawrence County, Mississippi. Descendants and relatives lived in North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Indiana, and elsewhere.
