Notes - Alisa and James were first cousins. Regarding the spelling of her first name, written by Ralpha Whipple, of the Kitterman Family Association. "This is where there is confusion. There are two land records where she signed her X, (obviously, she couldn't write or say the correct spelling of her name). One has her X where the spelling is 'Alvisa' and the other by the spelling of 'Alisa'. I requested her birth record out of NC in 1988 and the lady wrote and said that the book wouldn't open wide enough to copy, but that the entry was short. It was spelled 'Alisa'. Get this...the Polk County, Oregon census lists her as 'Alvira'!
I have not proved these out, the information should be checked again by you. Most of the Chitwood's came from Melissa Bank genealogy list.
