    Notes:

    Dr. William Heth Whitsitt, Annals of a Scotch-Irish Family -- The Whitsitts of Nashville, Tenn, American Historical Magazine and Tennessee Historical Society Quarterly, Jan., July, Oct., 1904, page 245:

    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."

    Died:
    "Martha Jr., died at the age of 28 and even at that young age outlived her husband by 6-7 yrs. He was about 10 yrs her senior, but still died very young. I am assuming that Martha Sr and Robert Carothers raised their orphaned grandchildren."
