I have recently found a letter written by JG WITHERS in SHELBYVILLE KY l829 to his nephew ADDISON L WITHERS(b 1804) living in ALEXANDRIA DC. The latter is so listed in the 1830 census. According to a published bio and family history, Addison's parents were LEWIS WITHERS and FRANCES JENNINGS(m 1802)living in FAUQUIER CO VA. The letter mentions another uncle THOMAS (?) WITHERS in PIKE CO IN. Other relatives mentioned are ELIZABETH MOUNT also in PIKE CO and WILLIAM L WITHERS in VINCENNES IN.
Based on internet pages, I can place all these other WITHERS in the MATHEW KEENE WITHERS family but not my Lewis WITHERS. The letter indicates they are related but I have not been able to find that connection. The only other mentions of Lewis and Frances is on LDS Family Search with no source/no submitter. I can sent a copy of letter to anyone interested. Would appreciate any help. Nancy at cnhenry.comcast.net
