  • Notes 
    • Elizabeth (nee Whiteside) Stockton was a daughter of William and Elizabeth (nee Stockton) Whiteside. She married a first cousin Davis Stockton, a son of Samuel and Prudence (nee ___?___) Stockton of Rutherford County, North Carolina.

      Elizabeth's date of birth is not known. She appears to have been born between about 1760 and about 1770. The 1820 census shows her as 45+, so born before 1775, and the 1830 census shows her as 60-70, so born between 1760 and 1770. Her son Davis Stockton appears to have been born in the year 1800, making Elizabeth between 30 and 40 when he was born.

      North Carolina Spectator and Western Advertiser.
      Rutherfordton, June 18, 1831.

      Died in this county, on Robertson's Creek, on the 25th ult., Mr. Davis Stockton, aged about 87 years. Mr. Stockton was born and arrived to manhood in Amherst County, Virginia, where he came to this country, and was among the first settlers of Whitesides Settlement about the commencement of the Revolution, in which he took an active part, as a soldier, in the defence of his country. His courage and zeal in those days that tried the souls of men could not be exceeded by any. As a noble patriot, his memory will ever be dear to those who shared his acquaintance. His funeral service will be preached by the Rev. Alfred Webb at the dwelling of Mr. Samuel Biggerstaff, on Robertson's Creek on the 4 of July next, the anniversary of that grand epoch of our independence for which he fought and suffered.
