I have got A LOT of Weddington's in my geneaology. My great grandmother's name was California Weddington from Pikeville, KY (She had an aunt named America!). The earliest Weddington I have found in my ancestry is Jacob Weddington (1777-1869). Is he any relation of yours? California married and moved to Colorado where I am from. I am interested to know if the Weddingtons were slave holders. The Wrights (other side of the family were abolitionists). Thanks for your comment.
