Notes

  • Note*: Regarding the name 'Zathu':
    In lists of James & Ann's children, Asa Matlack lists the child as 'Zathu - [?]', the Whitall-Matlack-Kennedy bible lists him as 'Zatthu', and the DAR document lists him as 'Luther'.
    In the next generation, James & Rebecca (Matlack) Whitall named a child 'Zathu', per his will (NJA 38:410); the Haddonfield record has been read variously, as 'Zathu' by Hinshaw (Selby), and 'Zatthu' by Meldrum.

    And the Hinshaw Encyclopedia records the 1801 m. of a Tatthu Whitall.1,2,5,6,7,8,4

    Compiler's notes: 1) Content includes children of James & Ann (Cooper) Whitall, of James & Hannah (Whitall) Matlack, of Robert & Elizabeth (Henry) Kennedy, and of James & Elizabeth (Kennedy) Matlack. 2) The bottom halves of the first two pages are switched, presumably during repair of breaks across fold lines. 3) Pages are all in same hand, and the latest date is 1828, so this appears to be a compilation of other records, made seventy plus years after the births of the Whitall children.        Gloucester-Co-Hist-Soc-Jan-25-2007.pdf
