After 2009 Restoration enlarge image Phereby Whyte died, at age 90, in 1855. The City Cemetery Interment Books listed her burial on March 19, 1855. Today there are only four markers on the Whyte lot: a large monument for Judge Whyte, a box tomb their daughter Phereby S. Whyte Bedford (1797-1814), the first wife of Benjamin Bedford, a small box tomb for William W. Bedford (1823-1824), the child born to Benjamin Bedford by his second wife Martha and one illegible tombstone. During the first survey of City Cemetery in 1908, this tombstone was drawn on Plat of the lot but no name could be deciphered at that time. Only four burials were recorded on the Whyte lot. The illegible tombstone must be for Phereby Glasgow Whyte. Her will was probated in Davidson County, Tennessee, on December 12, 1855. Her will reads in part: “… Phereby Whyte, widow of Robert Whyte, dec’d, late one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Tennessee…” The will was written on February 3, 1845 and recorded in Davidson County on December 12, 1855. In her will Phereby Whyte listed her grandchildren as her heirs: Robert Whyte and Phereby Whyte, two children of her son James C. Whyte, and one child Pheriby Jane Whyte, child of her son Robert L. Whyte. [Davidson County Tennessee Wills 16-17 1853-1859 Pages 591 – 592] |
