James Madison Trewhitt

Notes:

Dozens of Ancestry.com trees report, with no documentation, that the parents of Judge Levi Trewhitt are James Madison Trewhitt Elizabeth Mumford is his mother. I know of no documentation of the existence of this James Madison Trewhitt. The only documented connection between Judge Trewhitt and Elizabeth Mumford is that 80-year-old Jesse Mumford is living with Judge Trewhitt in the 1860 Census and with Elizabeth Brown in Hamilton County in the 1850 Census. But there is no record of a marriage between Elizabeth a Mr. Brown.
A few Ancestry.com trees report, without documentation, that Levi Marian Trewhitt (or just Levi Trewhitt) is Judge Trewhitt's father.
GRid=24279834 reports that the parents of Judge Trewhitt are "Levi Truitt, Jr" (1775-England, - 15 Dec 1830 in Macon Co, NC, and buried in Swain Co, NC) and Susanna Morgan (1780 NC - 11 Jul 1860 Maco Co, GA). (I do not know the source of those death dates, nor the specific birth date for Levi Truitt, Jr)

GRid=24279834 also lists a record of the marriage between Levi Truett and Susanna Morgan in "NC" in 1794, and (without documentation) reports his location in 1800, and 3 moves that land him in Brush Creek, Macon Co, GA (in present-day Swain Co). In addition, it lists and links to 7 children, not including Dr. Jesse Trewhitt, who is listed as a brother of Judge Trewhitt in most of the trees that say that Jamed Madison Trewhitt and Elizabeth Mumford are Judge Trewhitt's parents.

The only documentation that ties Dr Jesse Trewhitt to Judge Levi Trewhitt are census and tax records showing that they were both in Morgan Co, TN in the 1820s and 1830s

Birth:
This is the undocumented, but consensus father of Judge Levi Trewhitt on Ancestry.com. I have chosen to identify Levi Trewitt, Jr as the father of Judge Trewhitt. (See notes)

Then in 1861, with six of their eight children, Jesse and Nancy Trewhitt moved to Crawford County, Arkansas. The war started, and to furnish the people with medical care, Dr. Jesse was hidden in a cave just south of Cedarville, Arkansas. The people came during the night to get medicine and bring him provisions. Soon after the war Dr. Jesse died and was buried in a plot along with his wife Nancy. A fence was kept around the plot which is on his son James farm.
