North Carolina Whitehurst Supreme Court Case

Last week, I promised to share a case that was mentioned in The Whitehurst Family of Princess Anne County, Virginia and Pitt County, North Carolina. If you are or suspect you are a descendant of Simon Whitehurst, Sr. of Princess Anne County, Virginia, this is a must read case for you. On my second trip to North Carolina, my wife found copies of the Pitt County Genealogical Quarterly for the past 10 to 15 years. In the November 2000 issue was printed a transcribed copy of the North Carolina Whitehurst Supreme Court Case. This case establishes that Simon Whitehurst, Sr. had four sons, Simon Whitehurst, Jr., John Whitehurst, Daniel Whitehurst, and Batson Whitehurst. This case also establishes that John Whitehurst was living in Georgia before October 1806. I have a copy of the transcribed case on my Google drive.
