      Elizabeth Sewall (Seawell) married, had five children--lst Thomas
      Whiting & by him [number left blank]' 2nd Samtl Cary & by him had
      four children, dying left Sam'l Cary guardian to her children by both
      marriages.
      Sam'l Cary was sued by the five children of the 1st marriage for their
      father's estate.2:
      Anne Beverley Whiting, the youngest child of ThomasWhiting and
      Elizabeth Sewall (Seawell], was but six months old at the time of her
      father's death. Consequently her share of the property and slaves which
      should have increased greaty before her coming of age was the most
      defenceless in the hands of Sam'l Cary.
      Mrs. Lowry (Catherine Whiting) was married when Mrs Elizabeth
      Sewall (Seawell] Cary died,l and the stepfather's home being disagreeable
      from the vexations of law suits, Anne Wfiiti!ll went to her sister
      Catherine to live.
      Catherine (Mrs. Lowry) arranged a marriage between her sister &:
      Major Pyor who was a very rich man. She was but sevenreen & he
      62 at the time of the marriage. Her sister Mrs. Lowry told me her

      Born: 1712
      Married: 1. to Elizabeth Beverley (?? s.b.)
      2. to Elizabeth Thruston (1740-1766) (Th8)

      Died: 1781, Gloucester County, Virginia.
      .....
      Children: *
      (Wh7) Elizabeth Thruston Whiting (only child for whom Evelyn Nicholas had accurate records)
      (Wh7-2) Francis Whiting
      Sources: Wm. end :Mary Q.uarterly, January 1920, Vol.l0, pages 47-15 and other magazines of Virginia history.
      Also Thruston Records at Filson Club.

      Sketch (Wh8)
      Colonel Thomas Whiting (Wh8) was Burgess in Gloucester County, Virginia, to succeed his brother Beverley (at his death) in 1755-56.
      .. He was a member of various conventions and of the State Naval Board.

      Appendix (Wh8 )
      The Whiting history is so confused in its different accounts, it is better not to rely on it. There is no doubt that (Wh8) Thomas Whiting married (Th6) Elizabeth Thruston (1740-l766) as she is mentioned. in the will of her father (Th7) Colonel John Thruston in 1763. None of his grandchi1dren were mentioned.
      The will is in the Robert Reude (?Reade) Thruston collection at the Filson C1ub, Louisville, Kentucky.
      The Beverley ancestors are not in the index, but should be added.
