GEORGE W. WHITFIELD was born September 17, 1832, in Hopkins County. He is a son of B. W. and Seania (Graddy)
Whitfield. The father was born February 17, 1793, in North Carolina; he came to Hopkins County in about 1816, and settled on the farm where our subject now lives; here he died December 6, 1863. The mother was born November 17, 1802, and now lives at the old homestead with her son--Bryant H. This original tract of land consisted of about 400 acres, which has since been divided; of this our subject owns 100 acres, also about 1,000 acres elsewhere in this county, all of which he has acquired by strict attention to business and judicious management. During the late civil war Mr. Whitfield served about four months in Gen. Forrest's command. He was married in 1855 to Martha S. Utley, of Hopkins County; she died in 1857, leaving one daughter. In 1859 Mr. Whitfield married Susan G. Browning, of this county, she died in the spring of 1874, leaving three sons
and two daughters. His third marriage, in January, 1875, was to Mrs. Taliaferro, formerly Mary E. Shaw. This union is blessed with two sons and four daughters. Mrs. Whitfield has two daughters by her former marriage
