Or, Subtitled: “No man in the county enjoyed more thoroughly the esteem and respect of his people”

As my last posting states, Charles Whitlock and wife Mary Davies had two daughters, Agnes and Hannah, who are named in the Whitlock vs. Whitlock chancery court case file documenting the lawsuit their mother’s uncle William Davies filed on their behalf in Wythe County, Virginia, in September 1799.^[1] An 8 May 1798 Wythe County court minute noting the appointment of the same great-uncle as their guardian also names Agnes and Hannah as Charles Whitlock and Mary Davies’s daughters.^[2] As these documents indicate, Agnes and Hannah were minors when their father Charles died in April 1796 in Wythe County.
