From USGENWEB submitted by Bill King: (William Jr W itherington was the son) ... of William Witherington, a South Carolina patriotof the Revolutionary War, who with his family emigrated to Louisiana in 1809. They lived in the East Feliciana Parish and here the call from General Jackson went up the Mississippi River for help to defend New Orleans against the British attack in January 1815. Nineteen year old, red-headed Witherington was among those few who responded, and served as a Private in the War of 1812.
...When the Witheringtons originally came to Conecuh County from Louisiana, they livedon the Sepulga River, where they built and operated a ferry. This area was very swampy and unhealthy. After several of the family, which consisted of three generations, had died of the "fevers" (probably malaria or typhoid), the land and ferry were sold and more land purchased on higher ground, some of it was the present site of the Witherington Farm on Alabama Highway 83.
