      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.

      (1751) Albemarle County Wills & Deeds Book No. 1, 1748-1752, pp. 348-350, August 14, 1751. "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.
