Possible Parentage of Robert Mewhirter

One person believes that this is correct:

William McWherter married Jane Barr 14 Jan. 1774 Lancaster co., Pa. They had:

1) ROBERT MEWHERTER b. 1 Jan. 1792 in Northumberland co., Pa. d. 8 Jan. 1872 Owensburg, Jackson twp., Greene co., In. m. Elizabeth Taylor
2) JOHN MEWHERTER m. Rebecca Wildahn 22 Feb. 1814 Pickaway co., Oh.; 3) MARY MCWHERTER b. 1785 d. 1870 m. WiIlliam Barr b. 1790 Pa. d. 1817 Harrison co., Oh. Wm. Barr's death from Alan D. McWhirter e-mai: ; 4) SUSAN MEWHERTER b. b. 1839 Westmoreland co. Pa. m. William McDowell. 1839 Deed filed in Hamilton co., Oh. Re: William Barr's land by William and Susan McDowell of Westmoreland co. Pa. and William Wood. . . The land descended to her as a legal heir of Wm. Barr

NOTE none of these relationshisp have been documented and proven that I know of

Ancestry of Elizabeth Taylor

Her parents b. Oh. and Pa. on the census records for her. It is said that her Taylor's are of Virginia and supposingly in some way connected to the line of Zachary Taylor, President of the U.S. no documentation has been presented and nor are the parents of Elizabeth are known so can't go any further at this moment

her birth place has been given as - Near Hartford, Connecticut or Ohio

Elizabeth Drayton wrote several years ago - that - "When I was a small child I was taught to say, - "Grandmother White was a Mewhirter; Grandmother Mewhirter was a Taylor; Grandmother Taylor was a Barr". I have not found a source to justify the last part; although I do know that the Barr's come into the lineage somewhere, because grandmother's brother Robert was Robert Barr..."

Mewhirter spelling

 Comes from the remaining family bible pages of which I have a copy of .  Robert and Elizabeth's tombstone at Dishman cemetery in jackson twp., Greene county, Indiana bears the 'Mewhirter' spelling.  Transcripton below:
