June 4, 1784 Fayette Co., Pennsylvania Court, Christopher Beeler vs. Joseph Whitesitt, order to arrest Joseph Whitesitt of Tyrone Township Yeoman tenet in 200 Pounds (Joseph apparently did not make lease payment) (Hugh F. Clifford research, http://www3.telus.net/cliffordweb/content/generation4d.html)
   

Robert Clifford Will, , Bourbon Co., Kentucky written 13 Feb 1790; witness Joseph Whitesett; executor William Miller; Clifford Web site, Generation Four, Clifford's New Jersey to Pennsylvania and beyond by Hugh F. Clifford; http://www3.telus.net/cliffordweb/content/generation4d.html
   

1800. Joseph's land in Bourbon County was described as 130 acres of second rate land on Paddys Creek, originally entered and surveyed in the name of Daniel Callahan and apparently purchased by Joseph Whitsett from William Johnson. Paddys Creek (listed as Paddy Run on present-day topographical maps) empties into the South Fork of the Licking River about a mile south of Cynthiana, Harrison County, Kentucky. The headwaters are west of Colville, Harrison County, and appear to be entirely within Harrison County, instead of extending east into bordering Bourbon and Nicholas Counties.
