How we know

Estimated: the mother of Sterling Wilfong Whitener, who married in 1919.

Her son Sterling married in Jun 1919, so was born before about 1900, and Alice before about 1887. The family tree gives Sterling's birth as 14 Aug 1894 at Hickory, North Carolina, without a source; if that is right, she was born before about 1880.

Research notes

  • Evidence: Index only. Both her name and her relationship to Sterling rest on the index of Sterling's death certificate as attached in the family tree; the certificate has not been read.2
  • Surname: "Kineard" is the index's reading. Kinard is a common surname in the North Carolina Piedmont and may be the true form; the certificate should settle it.
  • Leads: read Sterling's death certificate (North Carolina State Archives; also on Ancestry and FamilySearch) for his mother's maiden name and birthplace; the 1900 and 1910 censuses of Catawba and Burke counties, North Carolina (the family tree, without a source, gives Sterling's birth as 1894 at Hickory); North Carolina marriage records for Whitener and Kineard or Kinard; Find a Grave.
  • Living flag: marked her living with minimal data. As the mother of a man married in 1919 she was born long before 1926, so she is deceased under the study's rule.
  • This profile is part of the Hegnauer one-name study.
