Notes for Needham Whitley:


Needham was married three times and was said to have 21 children. I have names of 20 of them.

In the winter of 1870, Needham , wife Elizabeth, and children: John, Sannette (Assinith), Marab, Elias "Pete", and William Sherman along with Needham's daughter, Rebecca and her husband, John Huneycutt, and their children, (Lem Burris and LeJeanus Huneycutt) moved from Stanly County, North Carolina, to Red River County in east Texas. Other North Carolina families probably made the journey also.

They journeyed on a flat bottom boat from North Carolina, down the Atlantic coast, around the Florida peninsula, back up the Gulf coast to the mouth of the Mississippi River, up the Mississippi to the mouth of the Red River and then up the Red River to the mouth of the Big Cypress (which was navigable at that time to Jefferson, Texas).

They got off the boat at Jefferson, Texas, put their possessions on an ox cart and walked to their destination in Red River County. They initially settled in Red River County near Detroit, Texas. Two years later they moved to Cooke County, Texas. The Texas towns of Blossom and Detroit were used as their post office address part of the time.

Two years later in the fall of 1872, four more of Needham's children and their families made the journey from North Carolina to Texas. They included: Thomas , his wife Martha and their nine known children; Needham, and his wife Wincie and four children; Sylvia, and her husband, Noah Huneycutt and two children; and Daniel Pressley.

On September 9, 1875, Needham Whitley of Cooke County, Texas, purchased 160 acres of land in Grayson County, Texas, (which is adjacent to Cooke Co.) on the waters of Big Mineral Bayou for the sum of $1000.

In August 1896, Needham Whitley, attested in an affidavit that was notarized and signed with his mark to the Dawes Commission, Indian Territory. In this affidavit he attested that his age was 84 years, and to the fact that the children of Susannah Morton Whitley were of Cherokee decent through her mother, Elizabeth "Betsy" Brumbelow, and through their grandfather, Edward "Judge" Brumbelow, who was 1/2 Cherokee Indian by blood. The names of the children of Susannah Morton Whitley were: Hiram C. Whitley, Ezekiel Thomas Whitley, William H. A. Whitley, John Vincent Whitley, Susan M. A. Whitley Brasher, and George F. Whitley. Susannah Morton Whitley was the wife of William Marion Whitley, Jr.
(This affidavit can be found in the National Archives, Ft Worth, Texas. Source - Cherokee 5176-5320,
Re # 5243 App. Enrollment, M1650 Roll 52.)

Susannah Morton Whitley was the daughter of Ezekiel Morton and Elizabeth Brumbelow, and William Marion Whitley, Jr. was the son of William "Uncle Billy" Whitley and Martha Hathcock..

Telitha Whitley Huneycutt's, child #9 of Rebecca and Needham, death certificate on May 30, 1935, in Stanly Co., NC, gave her mother's maiden name as Mary Cagle. Information provided by son-in-law, Andrew Eudy.
