Query Text: |
Currently researching the Wightmans of Henry County Virginia or Martinsville. I have an ancestor by the name of John Wightman Sr. born in Scotland around 1797. His wife's first name was Elva/Elba? Believe John Wightman Sr. came from Ireland/Scotland in the early 1800s to America. Believe he came through the port of Norfolk, Virginia. Trying to locate possible birth place in Scotland for John Wightman Sr. My father believes our ancestors were of the Scottish line of Wightmans and not the English line. He was always told that we were Scotch/Irish. The Wightmans of Henry County were related to the Turner, Holland, Slaydon and Cole families of Virginia. A William Wightman married Phoebe Cole and had a son by the name of John Hamlin Wightman in 1853. John H.Wightman married Sally Slaydon and had William John Wightman. William John Wightman married Sally Kate Turner and had Jesse Wightman. Jesse Wightman married Jennie Fields and had Jesse Wightman Jr. (my father). Any assistance would be appreciated. thanks and God Bless!! Jesse Wightman | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
