John G. Wilhite

Birth Notes
- Born between 1760 and 1770.

He died in 1839.

Death Notes
- Died between Aug 1838 and Jan 1840.
  
  The will of John Wilhite married to Lucy Martin was written 10 Aug 1838, proved 6 Jan 1840 and recorded 11 Jan 1840 in Madison County, Georgia. This places the death of John Wilhite between Aug 1838 and Jan 1840.
  It instructs that his wife Lucy be Executrix along with sons John M, Jesse G, and William M Wilhite to be executors along with friend Berry M David.
  The will further instructs that his Executrix or Executors may dispose of property in private sales without the necessity of a public sale.
  If your Gabriel Grimes is the son of Polly Wilhite and William Grimes, then the transactions recorded in 1842 are most likely between cousins John Madison Wilhite (son of John Wilhite and Lucy Martin) and Gabriel Grimes (son of Polly Wilhite and William Grimes) and may represent his "settling" the estate. The will also states that all private sales "to be principally governed by my wife Lucy, direction not to sell what she wishes to be kept for use of the farm or family." I guess this implies that she had to approve of this sale between cousins.
  At the time John Wilhite wrote the will, he had 2 plantations. One of 680 acres in Jackson County on Parks Creek, another where he lived of 700 acres in Madison County on the North Broad River. His will directs that his wife Lucy choose which plantation she will live on. The 1830 Madison County census lists 26 slaves in the household of John Wilhite. Lucy must have chosen to continue to live on the Madison County plantation as she is listed as head of household in the 1840 Madison County census with 33 slaves.
  John Wilhite's will also lists land in Telfair, Baker and Cherokee County totalling almost 600 more acres.
