Here is a great example of what Barry is saying. These three variations are
all within the same document.

Weatherington, C.S. 66th Reg. Co.I
Weathington, W.T. 17th Reg. Co.K
Wetherington, Shadrick W. 66th Reg. Co.F DIS

(Greene County, North Carolina Confederate Soldiers and CSA Government
Employees
Compiled by Mike Edge 1999.)

I'm certain that W.T. is my g-g-grandfather William Thomas. And I'm fairly
certain that the C.S. is his brother Charles. Not sure which line Shadrick
comes from. I know that by the time that William Thomas' daughter Emma Lee
married, she was a Worthington, as were her many brothers and sisters. Also
in the 1850 Greene Co. census (transcribed) Carney and family were
WOTHINGTONs. So believe me, I try every variation I can think of when I
search. That's why I'm pretty sure my Worthingtons were Witheringtons. Also,
last night I found in the Witherington-L archives, a message (from Roger
Kammerer's 3,486 Rough Notes from Pitt Co. Deedbooks GG - SS) listing a deed
transfer (?) "1011. Wm. G. Turnage of Greene Co., and Carney Witherington of
Greene Co.; 1840 [KK, p. 15]" Excellent find for me since Turnage was his
father in law.

Anyway, I keep searching.
