My genealogical New Year's resolution was to write more about my grandchildren's ancestors on the lines other than mine. So here goes.
Francis Whittington is the 7X-great grandfather of my grandchildren Henry and Harper, on their mother's line.
Francis Whittington, the son of William and Charity Whittington, was born about 1734 in Anne Arundel County MD. Francis and his brother Thomas married two sisters, Elizabeth and Wilhelmina Powell, the daughters of John Powell and Rebecca Trott.
