Thanks Mike this is going to take some sorting, The age of James Whitson who married Tabitha ties up with the James Whitson who married Mary, so I am thinking this is the same man. James Whitson (who married Tabitha) father was George. I have yet to find the wife of George. James is my Great grandfather. George is my g.g grandfather all on the maternal side of the family. I have gone the direct line of paternal side, that is why I am now going down the maternal side. Anyway thanks for all the info.
