The Family of
William L. Augustus Whitten and Lucinda Allman

This page created June 5, 2002.

[Note: The information below was shared with me by the fellow researchers listed in the Resources section below. The research is not mine but is included here to provide a more complete picture of this family.]

According to Toni Brahier: "William L. Augustus Whitten was the son of Littleton Whitten and his second wife, Espey Cornelia Ruark. From the records in Morgan County, [Georgia] and the Federal Census Records, it appears that he and his brother, Berry A. Whitten, were overseers for their grandfather, Lemuel C. Ruark before the Civil War. William served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, along with many of his cousins in the Whitten, Allman and Ruark families. William married Lucinda Catherine Allman in Madison, Morgan County, Georgia. Lucinda was the daughter of James Morgan Allman, Jr. and his wife, Mary Catherine Marshall. She was named the same as her father's sister, which has caused some confusion. Although it is not known where they are buried, it is believed to be either the Allman Cemetery near the Ruark Cemetery, or in the Allman/Beal Cemetery on Beaver Dam Road."
