Dr. Whitsitt records that Martha Whitsitt married William Carothers of Williamson County and had two sons, James Robert and William Whitsitt Carothers. "Of these, the elder married his cousin, Pallie Jordan, and they had two sons, William and Robert. The latter was killed by being thrown from a horse in the year 1897. James Robert Carothers is dead, and his widow, with her surviving son, William, is residing at the old James Whitsitt homestead, north of Mill Creek Church.
William Whitsitt Carothers, the youngest brother of James Robert, married a Miss Turner, and they had ten children...He was murdered some years since by an unknown man, whom he permitted to ride with him at night in his wagon on Nolensville Pike." [1]
