From the former website of Tom Cloud:

Jarrett Whittington died on December 15, 1830 or December 12, 1833. The Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution by Bobby Gilmer Moss, lists his death as December 12, 1833. He served as a lieutenant with Capt Claiborne Hinson in Col. Samuel's Benton's Regiment, South Carolina Militia, during 1779 and 1780. He was in the battle of Little Pee Dee, South Carolina, where he was shot through the right foot and crippled in a skirmish at Rouse's Ferry.

On October 3rd, 1791, Jarrett Whittington is recorded to have received 188 acres of land in the Cheraw District of South Carolina, on the N.E. side of the Great Pee Dee River (Revolutionary War Bounty Land Grants in South Carolina compiled by Tony Draine and John Skinner, pp. 55-57), Bounty Land Warranty #44808-160-5. In sworn affidavits, he is said to be a cousin to Grief and Richard Whittington and received a pension for his service, #R11491.

The book Early Inhabitants of the Natchez District by Norman E. Gillis, on p. 78, ``Inhabitants of the Natchez District -- 1810'' (except Wilkinson County, which is for 1805) Jarrett (``Garett'') is listed as a family head in Wilkinson county, 1 male, 1 male over 21and 2 females under 21. Other Whittington's listed by this book in the Natchez district, 1810 are: (Wilkinson): Cornelius & James; (Claiborne & Warren): Grief; (Adams): Levi; (Amite): Aaron, Gerrard, James, John, Moses & Richard. .... and 1816 are: (Adams): Levi; (Amite): Aaron, Cornelius, Evan, Gerard, Grief, James, James, John & Moses.

Donna Bailey wrote GenForum September 13 1998: ``I know he doesn't belong to Richard and Cornelius and I know he belongs to a different family than Grief. It would narrow things down a bit to know where he was born. I tend to think he was a descendent of the Francis who married Martha Freeman in 1743, but that's just a hunch. I believe his father's name was Francis, because he and Bartholomew administered the will of a Francis Whittington in the 1780s.''

Parents: Francis? Whittington and Martha Freeman.

Spouse: Mary ``Polly'' Rhodes. Jarrett Whittington and Mary ``Polly'' Rhodes were married in March 1798 in Hancock county, Georgia.
