Whittle’s in South Carolina
Although the purpose of this web site is to document the South Carolina Whittle families, many researchers would like to connect early families that settled in other Southern States, in order to prove we are all cousins. Although I am sure we are all related, proof of it is hard to come by. To the best of my knowledge, no researchers have submitted any evidence of contact between the Whittle families in Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee during the early 1800s. This web page will provide a broad overview of migration, it is not intended to be a detailed analysis of Whittle genealogy in other Southern States.
