51	Martha Katherine was the oldest of the Smith children. She grew up in Polk County and moved with her husband to Jackson County in the middle 1920's. She died in a rest home in Paola, Kansas, and is buried beside George William in the Belton Cemetery in Cass County, Missouri. Polk County is in southwest Missouri, its county seat Bolivar. The first settlers were relatives of James Knox Polk, and hailed from Hardeman County, Tennessee. Here, they named the new county Polk after their kinsman, who would later become President. Polk himself was from Maury County, Tennessee, as were many of the early Polk county settlers, including Samuel McCrory and Lucinda Woody, who were great-great-grandparents of Gerald Leon Whited.	Martha Katherine Smith
52	Abraham and Ann Margreth settled on 150 acres in Prince George's County, Maryland, which is now Frederick County, in the Conococheague Valley. He called his farm "Teagarden's Delight" It is believed he also operated a ferry for many years on the Monongahela River. Abraham I, born in the late 1600's, is the oldest known ancestor of Gerald Leon Whited. He is seven generations removed from Gerald Leon.	Abraham Teagarden, I
53	Abraham Teagarden Jr was born near Dusseldorf in Germany. He emigrated to America in 1736, arriving at the Port of Philadelphia on September 1 of that year. Also on board the harle were his parents and his brothers William and George. Abraham Jr soon married Mary parker in Philadelphia. They moved to southwestern Pennsylvania, settling in Westmoreland County, which is due north of Fayette County. There, daughter Elizabeth Teagarden was born, along with her twin brother, Abraham Teagarden III. Their other children were William, Mary, George, Aaron, Moses, and Thomas.	Abraham Teagarden, Jr
54	At age eight, Barnet Welsh moved from Virginia to Licking County, Ohio, where he lived for about thrity years. There, he married Mary Overturf, and in 1847 they and a few neighbors meaded south and west, eventually settling west of Bolivar, in Polk County. Barnet was a Union sympathizer who signed a loyalty oath during the Civil War; he even named one of his sons Franz Sigel Welsh, after Union Gener Franz Sigel, who was instrumental in keeping Missouri out of the Confederacy, yet who later proved to be a very ineffective battle general in the Shenandoah Valley in the late stages of the war. Barnet fathered fifteen children, nine by Mary, and the remaininb six by his secon sife Ruthie Minerva Garrison. With wife Mary, he sired Lucinda (1830), Jeremian (1832), William (1835), James Jesse (1838), George W. (1840), Hiram (1842), Mary K. (1845), Sarah J. (1847), and John (1851); with Ruthie, he sired David M. (1858), Franz Sigel (1861), Robert L. (1864), Nora (1866), Lanette (1868) and one who died young. Barnet died in 1887, after a long illness. He is buried in the Welsh Cemetery, as are his wives.	Barnet Welsh
55	Little is known of Barnet Welsh Sr. He remained in Licking County, Ohio, until his death, which occurred after 1830. Barnet is probably a middle name, perhaps the maiden name of his mother or grandmother. A William Welsh lived in Licking County in 1820 and had six young males in the household. Since no William appears in the 1830 census, he and Barnet Sr. may be one in the same. Barnet Sr. is in the 1830 census, between ages 60 and 70.	Barnet Welsh, Sr
56	Jesse Welsh and Martha Jane McCrory were married on September 13, 1860, in Polk County. He fathered ten children with wife Marth Jan; William Franklin (1861), Mary Jan (1863), Rhoda Adeline (1865), Lucinda Belle (1867), Laura Eleanor (1870), Samuel Morgan (1873), James Benton (1875), Luisa Mae, also known as "Ida" (1878), Jesse Easter (1881), and a child who died in infancy. In 1883, Jesse married Nancy A. Potts (nee Dysart), and they had two children: son Elmer Austin, and a son named Charles Erastus, who died in infancy. Nancy died on March 31, 1897. Jesse married Sadie Jarnigan in 1898. A Civil War veteran, Jesse served as a private in the Missouri Regiment, from July of 1861 to April of 1863. He was discharged at that time due to a hand that was crippled by rheumatism. Jesse died of acute Bright's disease (chronic inflamation of the kidneys) and lung troubles. He is buried in the Welsh Cemetery in Polk County, as are his first two wives, Martha Jane and Nancy. Licking county, the birthplace of Jesse Welsh, is located northeast of Columbus. Befor it was settled by white men, the territory was considered by one writer to be a "waste, howling wilderness." In 1751, the first whites to pass through these lands found Delaware, Wyandot, and Shawnee Indians, and had to contend with venomous serpents, birds of prey, wolves, bears, and panthers. Licking bore the nickname "Old Fort" due to the curious earthworks that can be found throughout the county. These forts and mounds were constructed by a prehistoric Indian race commonly called "the Mound-Builders." (the same kinds of earthen mounds can be found in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and Sangamon County, Illinois, counties that figure significantly in the ancestry of Gerald Leon Whited.)	James Jesse Welsh
57	George William was born on the family farm near Mountain Grove, Missouri. He married Martha katherine Smith in the Smith home in Polk County, on September 5, 1906. The Whiteds raised eight children: Pauline, Harold Smith, Grace, Lawrence, William Clifford, Mary Belle, Harry Olin, and Gerald Leon. George William and Marth relocated to southern Jackson County in the middle 1920's, where they joined Martha's parents, George Daniel and Lucinda Belle Smith. George William was a section hand for the railroad before he retired, and he also worked at Red Fox Farm in the Kenneth community. Both husband and wife are buried in the Belton Cemetery, in Cass County, Missouri.	George William Whited
58	Gerald Leon, who was known by the nickname "Pete," was raised in southern Johnson County, Kansas, just across the state line from his place of birth. He was a corporal in the U.S. Army, and had received orders to ship abroad to fight in World War II, but the war was ended before his departure date. He met Dorothy Regina Steinbacher on Memorial Day in 1948, and they were married about a year later. Together they raised ten children: Geraldeane Victoria (1949), Linda Kathleen (1950), Debra Ann (1951), Daniel George (1952), Kevin Leo (1954), Timoghy Craig (1955), Thomas Joseph (1957), Gerald Raymond (1959), Philip Patrick (1960), and Jeffry Peter (1962). Gerald Leon worked in the construction industry for about thirty-five years. Dorothy Regina is currently employed as a supervisor at the Internal Revenue Service. The family lived at 8040 Michigan in soth-central Kansas City from 1956 until 1989, when they moved to 101 West 113th Street. Gerald is buried in the St. Boniface Church Cemetery in Scipio, Kansas in Anderson County.	Gerald Leon Whited
59	Robert Henry was commonly called "Henry". He married Mary Ann Dye on August 10 1879, and they lived on the Whited land near Mountain Grove, which he purchased from his father. In 1888, Henry and Mary Ann moved to southwest Polk County, near the town of Aldrich. Their children were John Elmore (who left home in his teens an apparently was never heard from again), malissa Jane Goerge William, Hattie Arminda, Alice Cleveland, and Freddie Albert, who died in infancy. Mary Ann died in 1895, and Henry never remarried. They are buried in the Mitchell Campgroughd Cemetery, near Aldrich. Determining the parents of Mary Ann has been quite frustrating, due to inconsistencies in the spelling and the ages of the William H. Dye family in the Wright County census records, from 1860 to 1880. Nonetheless, I contend that Mary Ann was the daughter of William H. and Sarah M. Dye. The 1870 census shows a William ans Sarah Dye in the Hartville township, with a daughter Mary, age nin - the exact age Mary Ann Dye Whited would have been at the time. In 1880, the Dyes are living in the Wood township, the same township where the Whiteds live, including Henry Whited and wife Mary Ann Dye. We know with certainty that William H. Dye was the oldest son of Kinneth Dye and Marth Ann Burroughts Dye of Audrain County, Missouri. An account in an Audrain County history speaks generously of Kinneth Dye: he was born in Mason County, Kentucky, in 1812, son of Peter and Abigail Dye, formerly of the Commonwealth of Virginia; he was a brick mason in Pike County, Missouri, before removing to Laddonia in Audrain County in 1866; and he died in 1878 in Audrain. We also know that Martha Ann Burroughs dye was the daughter of George and Mary (Johnson) Burroughs of Kentucky. Martha Ann died in 1884 in Vandalia, Missouri. The graves of Henry and Mary Ann Whited are rather isolated in the easternmost section of the Mitchell Campground Cemetery, which leaves open the possibility that other Dyes are buried nearby, in unmarked plots.
