Eleanor Whittle (?-1792)<P> Benjamin Gaither and Sarah Burgess were living in Anne Arundel Co. MD in 1714 when their son Edward was born. Edward died in Maryland in 1777. It appears that Eleanor came to NC with at least some of her children around 1780. She died in NC in 1792. <P> On Thursday, November 15, 1753, "Benjamin Gaither has a stray at his plantation in Prince George's County."<P> -------------<P> Children of Edward Gaither (1689) and his wife<BR> Edward Gaither<P> May 26th 1747 - "Edward Gaither, son of Edward Gaither has land for sale on South River."<P> October 26, 1748 - Edward Gaither, son of Edward Gaither, will offer for sale, at the <EM>Sign of the Indian King</EM> in Annapolis, land called <EM>Gaither's Collection</EM> at the Head of South River.<P> ----------<P> <HR> <H4>Third Generation</H4><P> Children of Edward Gaither and Eleanor Whittle<BR> Greenbury Gaither m.
