History
The patriarch of the Whiteside family who settled in the Illinois Country and Missouri was the senior William Whiteside. Born in 1719 in Ulster, Ireland, William and his brother Thomas were able to leave Ireland before oppression and depression reached its peak. They likely disembarked from their ship at Philadelphia. Records show that a John, Joseph, Thomas and William Whiteside were living in Chester and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania, as early as 1735. William Sr. and his brother Thomas Whiteside migrated to the South Fork of Mechum’s Creek in Goochland County, which later became Albermarle County, Virginia.The property belonging to the Whitesides was adjoined by the Stocton Land. The Stocktons were also from Ireland. The north fork of the Mechum became Stockton’s Creek. Elizabeth Stockton would become the wife of her neighbor, William Whiteside, in 1740 William and Elizabeth’s branch of the family were known as the “Stockton Whitesides.” Thomas Whiteside, who had come to America from Ireland with his brother William Sr. also moved to Goochland County, Virginia. His branch of the family became known as the “Underwood Whitesides” because his son, John, married Mary Underwood. During those years on the Mechum River Elizabeth gave birth to Davis, Robert, James, John, William F., Thomas, Margaret, Ann, Elizabeth, Samuel, Adam, Francis and Sarah. As the Whiteside children grew older Virginia grew more crowded. Settlers of the time did not practice rotation farming at that time and the best cash crop, tobacco, robbed the hilly soil of nutrients. To sustain themselves families were forced to purchase and break more ground, making each farm larger. More and more Virginia land was claimed and many settlers began looking further south for new ground. William Sr. and Elizabeth’s second oldest won, Robert, and his wife Elizabeth Coffey, were the first top break away from the tight family unit and strike out on their own. They moved to northwestern North Carolina. William and his wife Sarah and the remainder of the Whiteside children knew they too needed more abundant land and followed Robert,but decided to go further south and settle in the southwestern North Carolina, in Tryon County near the First Broad River. Robert Whiteside, the first to leave home, had established his homestead in Wilkes County, North Carolina, He and his wife had five sons and a daughter- James, Polly, William, Jonathon, Joel and Lewis. In 1788 Robert moved his family to Wayne County, Kentucky and eventually died in Somerset County, Kentucky. His children carried the Whiteside family name to Tennessee, Mississippi, Indiana, Kansas, California, Texas and Camden County, Missouri. In 1795 Isaac Whiteside, Davis Whiteside’s son, left North Carolina to join his family in Illinois. Instead, he settled in Shelby County, Kentucky, and fought in the Indian wars with Daniel Boone and served with Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. He was twice married and several of his children settled north of St. Louis in the river country that became the town of Whiteside in Lincoln County, Missouri.
