A message from Peggy Edgington today about a new Whitehouse book.
There's a new book out titled "Descendants and Ancestors of Cecil Tilden Ellis, Sr. and Alma Lou Whitehouse Ellis". The book has a total of 259 pages. The cost of the book is $70.00.
Chapter 2 of Part II is titled "Ancestors of Alma Lou Whitehouse". There is an ancestry chart which goes back to Cornelius Whitehouse 1735 - ? and Ann Austin 1741-?, with Cornelius' father who is also named Cornelius (dates unk) and wife Mary (dates unk).This Chapter of the book is from pages 59-105. The book includes lots of pictures. Appendix B is an Index of Whitehouse Cousins.
The compilers of this book are Karen Dru Ellis Marsee, Shirley Alma Ellis Sheperson and Barbara Ellen Ellis Taylor.
If you are interested in this book, you could contact Shirley Sheperson, who is a Whitehouse descendant. Shirley's phone number is 859-936-2061 and her address is 312 Venetian Way, Danville, KY 40422. Shirley does not have e-mail. For further information on how to contact her, see Bob Pipes' Union Cemetery blog [entry] of July 25, 2009.

Update for Cemetery photos
Just for the record. I have updated the picture file for Agnes Whitehouse's stone.
It was knocked down and someone has repaired it. Karen Fowler Caldwell took pictures recently and I updated the picture file with the new pictures for James and Agnes Whitehouse.
See the mapping database at the left side.

Whitehouse Family Update
Karen Fowler Caldwell made a visit to the Cemetery today to take some pictures of the Whitehouse grave stone mentioned in the posts below. We were all very surprised to find that someone has repaired the stone and has it upright and it looks like they did a very good job. It was on the ground last July when I was there to take the photos of all the stones.
If any one out there knows who did this wondeful thing, please let us know.
Many Thanks to Karen for the Picture.

Whitehouse family Follow Up
In response to the post below and an eMail that I sent out, I received the following two emails about the Whitehouse family.
An Email from Carolyn Crabtree (Carolyn is the head of the local History and Genealogy group):
Bob,
There are Whitehouse descendants all over the county. Have James get in touch with Shirley Sheperson, a Whitehouse descendant and historian in the area. Her phone number is 859-936-2061 and address is 312 Venetian Way, Danville, KY 40422. She has no e-mail, but you might be able to reach her by e-mail at the Forkland Community Center. Their e-mail address there is info@forklandcomctr.com. The person who gets those e-mails will pass them on to Shirley. Shirley helped write the book “Roots, Trunk and Branches” about the Lincoln connection to the Forkland area and the Whitehouse/Sparrow family. There is another entire book about the Whitehouse line that is separate from the main book. It contains more generations about the Whitehouse family. I put that book together myself. Shirley’s mother was Alma Whitehouse who married into the Ellis family. I’m sure she can help your friend and I will be happy to help as well.

an Email from Peggy Edgington: ( Peggy is a Harmon Descendant and lives nearby):
Dear Bob,
There are several Whitehouse families still living in Boyle County. I will note names and phone numbers of some of them listed in the local phone book.
I went to school at Perryville Elementary and Boyle County High with Dennis Whitehouse. Dennis owns Whitehouse Auto Parts and Tires on W 2nd Street in Perryville. His home phone number is 859-332-7250 and business number is 859-332-2171. Dennis has a sister, Cindy, who lives in Danville. Dennis' father was Stanley Whitehouse, deceased. Dennis' mother, Crystal, is still living in Perryville.
I remember some of the following Whitehouse names growing up in Perryville: Allan Whitehouse, phone # 859-332-7003, Godbey Whitehouse, phone #859-236-2426, Kenneth Whitehouse, phone #859-239-0046. There is a Steve Whitehouse listed on Forkland Road in Gravel Switch, phone #859-332-7981. 332 numbers are Perryville, 236 and 239 numbers are Danville. There are a few other Whitehouses listed in the local phone book.
In the Perryville Community History Book, there is a picture of Leslie and Rose Lee Whitehouse with their eleven children, some of whom I recall as a child. They would have been friends with my father. The childrens names were: Godbey, Alfred, Ezra, Bertha, Stanley, Bob, Sadie, J. L., Marshall and Clarence. Another child, Arthur Day, died when he was 15 years old. The children grew up in Perryville. There is also a picture of Marshall and Frances Wilson Whitehouse in the Perryville book.
I hope this will be of some help to Jim Hagan.
Regards,
Peggy (Harmon) Edgington

Whitehouse Family in Union Cemetery
I recently heard from James Hagan, a descendant of the Whitehouse family. He is very interested in restoring the grave stone markers for his relatives here and would like to find someone to work with him to get that done. He is also interested in hearing from anyone else related to them. Jim lives in South Carolina. Here is his last message to me:
"The only Whitehouse relative I have ever been in touch with is Karen Caldwell, who is not a descendent of James and Agnes Whitehouse whose tombstones I would like to have repaired. Do you know of any Whitehouse or Gray relatives who might collaborate with me on repairs? I know Samuel Housan Whitehouse was a brother of my greatgrandmother and I think some of the Grays are related to him. I would like to get in touch with some of my long lost relatives about this, but also to get more info about family, copies of any family photos, etc.. I was very pleased to find photos of James and Agnes Whitehouse in the Forkland Heritage book, but do not have a photo of their daughter, my great grandmother. Thanks, Jim Hagan"
If anyone of our readers can help, please let me know. There are pictures of their stones in the database. The stones are in good condition but have fallen off their bases and need to be re mounted and cleaned up.
