Searching for Witherington Facts
| Derrick Witherington (View posts) | Posted: 18 Jul 2000 6:24PM GMT |
Hello-
I've been researching my family name for a little while. I have discovered some very interesting facts. For instance John Paul Jones, the Father of the American Navy, fled from England to America after murdering a naval officer under his command. This man was a Witherington. However, I still have a few unanswered questions. 1) I know the Witheringtons (Widdringtons) came from Northumberland in the early 1600's, but is the ship they came on known? Also, at one point did the Witheringtons own slaves? If you can, please answer these questions. Also if you have some other interesting Witherington facts, those would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
