This book was compiled by Ellisue barber Morris. This book was given to my father Douglas Charles Hulsey Sr. whose mother was a Bertha Dee Whittington Hulsey. The Whittington family has not been consistent in spelling their name. Descendants of James and Ailsey's use these variations: Whittington, Whitington, Whittenton and Whitenton. Legal papers have spelled Ailsey's name as many different ways: Alsey, Alyce, Alsa andmaybe others. James Whittington was born in North Carolina about 1821,the son of Solomon Whitenton and Sarah Lassiter. He died prior to 4July 1866. His home was in Pike County Ala., where he spent most ofhis adult life. Burson Whittington told me that he thought his great grandfather died while on a trip to get salt, a necessity for curing food in the pioneer homes. He could not remember other details if he had ever known them. On 22 October 1854 James joined the Union Springs Primitive Baptist Church near Brundidge Alabama. On June 25 1859 he became a deacon. On 26 June 1858 Ailsey joined the same church. They are both buried in the nearby cemetery. The graves are not marked.
