  • James Towler Whitfield was born on 17 May 1777 in Goochland County, Virginia.
  • He married Susannah Minchew, daughter of Thomas Minchew, on 2 December 1798 in Leasburg, Caswell County, North Carolina, with Richard Minshew and Jesse Dickins acting as bondsmen/witnesses.
  • While a number of researchers have published the following dates, it is unlikely that Susannah died on 3 May 1832, that Victoria was born (to either Susanna or Elizabeth) on 29 May 1832, and that James and Elizabeth married on 9 August 1832. One or more of these dates must be in error.

  • He married (?) Elizabeth Robertson circa 1832.
  • James Towler Whitfield died on 14 April 1850 at age 72 in Person County, North Carolina.
