Elizabeth Wheeler was born 10/17/1830 and John Warren Whitehorn was born in Sussex County Va. 4/9/1822. He was the son of John Whitehorn Jr. and Mary Felts. That's where Francis got his middle name from his grandmother. Mary Felts was the daughter of Augustine Felts and Phoebe Rose (Rose ?). I have been flooded with so much info in the last 48 hours I have not rested after working all day. Over the years I have bought book after book.
