- Some sources say his father was Smart Whittington who, according to others, died without issue. Others show his parents to be William Whittington III and Elizabeth Taylor.
Some say he married Elizabeth Whittington, the daughter of Joshua Whittington and Elizabeth Nairne. This is problematic in that Joshua Whittington & Elizabeth Nairne married circa 1753, both being born circa 1715 and dying circa 1764 and 1788, respectively. Their daughter, Elizabeth Whittington, was born circa 1760. This John Whittington married his Elizabeth Whittington in 1723, when Joshua Whittington and Elizabeth Nairne were only 8 years old and some 37 years prior to their daughter Elizabeth's birth!
