Anna Lorine Belote
My mother, Anna Lorine Belote Whatley, was born and raised in Cass County, Texas. Her family “The Belotes” came from England. Our first documented ancestor to arrive on American shores was John Belote born in England ca.1628. He married Bridgett and raised a family in Northampton County, Virginia. The descendants of John and Bridgett lived in the Northampton and Accomack Counties until around 1800. They migrated to Tennessee and lived mostly in Hardeman County.
