Notes:

Shown in some records as Whitesitt or Whitsitt. Whitesides (sic) records were furnished to Johnson and Smith by John Preston Stockton. Following Notes by Larry Whiteside: William Whitesides emigrated to America in 1735 with his 10 brothers, to Chester and Lancaster, PA. Probably landing originally at the Quaker Settlement at Burlington, West Jersey, on the river above Philadelphia. May have been born in Ulster, Kindare County, Ireland. ??? Some sources have his birth year as 1710. I feel 1699 is the most accurate. May have died in (Trion) Tyron County, NC. ??? BURIED: Unmarked grave in family cemetery County Road 1730, 1/2 mile north of Route 226. May have been married in Peoua, Lancaster County, PA in 1735. ??? Or may have been married about 1732. ??? Some ancestors have the marriage as about 1720 in Ireland (I feel the latter is inaccurate.) This branch of the family is known as the "Stockton Whitesides". Descent is Scotch-Irish, A Scotch Covenanter Presbyterian. All of his children and most grandchildren were Baptist showing the influence of Elizabeth Stockton, his wife. In 1739, came to the South Fork of Mechum's Creek, Goochland County, VA, (became Albermarle County in 1744) today named Whiteside's Creek which empties into the south fork of Mechum's River, Albermarle County, VA. In 1767, moved to Amherst and Augusta COunties in VA. In 1772, shortly before the American Revolution with his family he moved to Tryon County, (later called Rutherford County) NC, adjoining the Broad River, the location was called Whiteside's Settlement because of the number of Whiteside families that lived there. Today this location is called Golden Valley, Township, R.R. 2, Bostic, Rutherford County, NC (this gives credence to the 1735 Peoua, Lancaster County, PA marriage if you assume he was married prior to coming to VA ((this marriage issue is yet to be resolved)), this also shows why some have his death in Tyron County and others have it as Rutherford County ie the name change). A farmer by occupation. Military service included the Albermarle County, VA, Militia, in Sept 1758 to fight Indians, as a member of Captain James Neville's company in the French and Indian War. He was one of the original signers of the Tryon Resolves on Aug 14, 1775, of the American Revolution. Died at Whiteside's Settlement, Mecklingburg County, NC, later Tryon County. Memorial Chair in Constitutional Hall, Philadelphia by the Belleville, IL Chapter of the DAR, Section Q, Row N, Seat 2.

William married Elizabeth Betsy STOCKTON in 1735 in Peoua, Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth (daughter of Davis STOCKTON and Sarah (Anthony) GUDYLOUCH) was born in 1715 in England Or Goochland, Albemarle, VIR; died on 30 Oct 1797 in Whiteside Station, Rutherford County, North Carolina; was buried on 3 Nov 1791 in Rutherford, North Carolina.

Elizabeth (nee Stockton) and William Whiteside, Sr.,
from Davis Stockton of Albemarle County, Virginia,
by Jerry J. Stockton

Elizabeth appears to have been born about 1720, probably in England. Her father, Davis Stockton, appears to have been born about 1685 in England. Stockton is an English name and there were a large number of Stockton families living in England in the 1600s. It also appears that his children were also born in England as they all have English given names and none have distinctly Irish or Scottish given names. There is no evidence that the Davis Stockton family ever lived in Ireland.

It appears that in about 1740, at the age of about 20, she married William Whiteside in Goochland (now Albemarle) County, Virginia. It appears that Elizabeth (nee Stockton) and William Whiteside's son Davis Whiteside was born about 1741 near Whiteside's Creek, a branch of Mechum's River. This is where the town of Batesville in now located. They moved to what was then Tryon (now Rutherford) County, North Carolina, sometime before the Revolutionary War. William Whiteside's will is dated October 24, 1777. It is thought that Elizabeth died in Rutherford County, North Carolina, on October 31, 1791.

(c.1740) It appears that in about 1740 Elizabeth Stockton, a daughter of Davis Stockton, married William Whiteside in Goochland (now Albemarle) County, Virgina. Davis Stockton is known to have been living in Goochland County, Virginia, by 1737.

(1741) Virginia Land Office Patent Book No. 20, 1741-1743, pp. 162-164, March 15, 1741.
"George the second . . . in Consideration of the Sum of Forty Shillings of good and Lawful Money . . . do Give Grant and Confirm unto William Whitesides One Certain Tract or Parcel of Land containing Four hundred Acres lying and being in the County of Goochland on both sides the South fork Mechums River . . . said William Whitesides . . . the Fifteenth Day of March One thousand seven hundred and forty one In the Fifteenth Year of our Reign . . . William Gooch"

William Whiteside was probably living Goochland County before his March 15, 1741, patent. It appears that William Whiteside and Elizabeth Stockton met and married in Goochland (now Albemarle) County, Virginia.

(c.1741) The first child of Elizabeth (nee Stockton) and William Whiteside, Davis Whiteside, appears to have been born in about 1741 in Goochland (now Albemarle) County, Virginia.

(1747) Albemarle County in Virginia, by Rev. Edgar Woods, 1901, pp. 362-363. "Ivy Creek, March 29, 1747. Whereas it is agreed or proposed that ye Inhabitants of Ivy Creek and ye Mountain Plain Congregation joyn together with ye Congregation of Rockfish, to call and invite ye Reverend Samuel Black . . . to be our Minister and Pastor . . . do promise and oblige ourselves to pay yearly and every year ye several sums annexed to our names, for ye outward support and Incouragement of ye said Mr. Samuel Black . . . according to ye Rules and Practice of our Orthodox Reformed Presbyterian Church . . . William Whiteside . . . Thomas Whiteside . . ." Among those who promised support for Reverend Samuel Black were: Richard Stockton, 12 shillings; Davis Stockton, 1 pound, no shillings; Adam Gaudylock, 10 shillings; William Whiteside, 10 shillings; Thomas Whiteside, 10 shillings; Thomas Lockhart, 10 shillings; Michael Woods, 1 pound, 10 shillings; and Michael Woods Jr., 10 shillings.

"This indenture made this March the Second day in the twenty third year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord George the second & c. Anno Dom 1750 Between Paul Abney of County of Albemarle, Planter, of one part & John Graves of said County, Planter, of other part . . . a certain parcel of land being in County of Albemarle containing One hundred acres . . . unto John Graves his heirs & assigns forever In Witness whereof Paul Abney to these present hath set his hand & seal in presence of us Davis Stockton, Adam Goudylock, Robert Brenton, Wm.

(1753) Virginia Land Office Patent Book No. 32, 1752-1756, p. 55, April 4, 1753. "George the Second . . . in Consideration of the Sum of Thirty Shillings of good and Lawful Money . . .

William Whiteside, 250 acres on both sides of Green River, Mecklenburg (now Rutherford) County, North Carolina, August 8, 1765. This does not appear to be the William Whiteside who married Elizabeth Stockton. This appears to be the William who was the father of John Whiteside, Sr., who married Mary Underwood. Several members of the Whiteside/Underwood family are buried at the Buffalo Cemetery, Lake Lure, Rutherford County, North Carolina.
