  Notes	mentioned in her grandfather William Anthony's will, "granddaughter, Priscilla McComas Whitsett." ---------- From: "Priscilla Bruce" To: Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2013 11:13 PM Subject: Proposed Change: Priscilla McComas Whitsett (I37947) Proposed Change: Priscilla McComas Whitsett (I37947) Tree: Roots Link: http://sherry.server-hosts.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I37947&tree=Roots Description: Priscilla Menees Whitsett, daughter of Martha S Anthony Whitsett and James Menees Whitsett was b. in 1840 and died in 1922. Not sure if this is the same person you have noted or not. Martha S Anthony Whitsett married Robert Carothers sometime following the death of J.M. Whitsett in 1842. Martha died in Williams co, TN in 1873. Her daughter, Priscilla Menees Whitsett m. W.W. Thomas in 1865 and did, in her youth, inherit $500 from her Anthony grandparents. Her older brother, William Anthony Whitsett, was her guardian (even though she had a living mother) and I have copies of his financial records for her and her, also, minor brother, Henry, which note their inheritance from their Anthony grandparents. They also inherited from their Whitsett grandfather.

It was the other minor siblings and another minor, I think cousin, who received an inheritance in 1852 from grandfather Anthony. It does show that Priscilla inherited $160 from grandmother Anthony in 1854. Priscilla must have inherited from her father and/or grandfather Rev James Whitsett because older brother, Wm Anthony, show that he owes her almost $1600 in late 1853 when she was only 13.
