  • Notes  Married:
    • I have long suspected something like this regarding John Whitener and Margaret Dellinger, because they have children with birthdates that overlap the birthdates of his children with Polly Miller. I would like to find documentary evidence of this court case:

      "John W. Whitener or John D. Whitener, as his name often appears, must have been quite a charmer and most appealing to the ladies! I am very fond of him, but when Clara Shook was at the Archives and found the case where John Whitener was brought up for charges of adultery with Margaret Dellinger, I wanted to cheer. I noticed Caleb Miller, Polly's brother, was at Court that day and would bet he made the charge against John Whitener."
