Bio

Father of Pleasant Lee Whitwell; 1st wife name unknown to compiler; 2nd wife was Mary Melvina Cooper Kilpatrick (dau of Lt. William McAdams Cooper and Eliza Toombs) Judge Thomas Whitwell, born in Hickman County, Tenn., August 28. 1826, is one of five surviving children born to Pleasant and Margaret (Anderson) Whitwell, both natives of Barren County, Ky. They and their parents were early immigrants to Tennessee, coming to Hickman County in 1823, and were married in Dickson County and came to Perry County in 1837. The father [Pleasant] died December 20, 1875, and the mother [Margaret] in July, 1877. Pleasant Whitwell was Perry County's first county court clerk, after the county was divided in 1846, serving two terms of four years each, to 1854. November 25, 1847, our subject [Thomas] was united in marriage to Malissa C. Ward, who was born in Perry County, and to their union were born a family of ten children, all of whom are living. In 1879 Mr. [Thomas] Whitwell moved to his present home, a tract of 1,200 acres lying along Hurricane Creek, some of the bluffs of which contain rich deposits of sulphate of iron (copperas). In August, 1870, Mr. [Thomas] Whitwell was elected judge of Perry County, which office he still holds. The Judge is an old member of the F. & A. M [Freemasonry]. He was re-elected judge August 5, 1886, for eight years, making three terms of eight years each. Ref. Goodspeed's History of Perry County 1886-87 - Peggy Garrison Thompsen
