Georgia Marriages to 1850 [database on-line].)) | <note>Oliver Whiten is often associated with being the son of William Whiten and Sarah Margaret Waters, who lived in Dist. 14 of Habersham County, Georgia. However, the 1840 & 1850 U.S. Census records do not support this theory. However, it is likely that Oliver had a brother named Benjamin C. Whiten (born during 1824; who married Miss. Dicey Brewer on Feb. 12, 1845 in Habersham County, Georgia).</note> |
