• Notes

  Shadrack Chitwood, likely son of Richard Chitwood and his wife Winney, was probably born in Cumberland County, Virginia, in about 1757. In the 1770s, many member of the Chitwood family moved south to the area that is now Rutherford County, North Carolina. In 1779, he, along with Moses Chitwood, was convicted of treason by the Superior Court of Salisbury. They were both sentenced to death, but they were recommended for clemency on 18 October 1779.[1] He was again charged with treason at the January 1783 term of court in Rutherford County, North Carolina.[2] In 1790, he was enumerated, along with Daniel Chitwood, in neighboring Pendleton County, South Carolina.[3] In 1795, James Chitwood, proven son of Richard Chitwood, sold 100 acres he had been granted in Rutherford County, North Carolina, on 4 January 1792. One of the witnesses was Shadrack Chitwood.[4] He moved, along with the same James Chitwood, to Pulaski County, Kentucky. He later lived in Illinois. Research Notes His year of birth is estimated based on him being old enough to be convicted of treason in 1779. Although he is often shown, without sources, to have been a son of James Chitwood, it is much more likely that he was a son of Richard Chitwood.
