  • 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.
