 Among the Acts of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia passed in November and December 1815 was an Act that "exonerated and discharged" William O. Whitney and Nathaniel Payne from their $500 bond that had been conditioned on the prosecution of an indictment against Farley Thompson. William O. Whitney was the principal, and Nathaniel Payne was his security. The bond was given on 29 May 1808 and was forfeited when the case ended with a "nolle prosequi" notice. The Act notes that the defendant entered a plea of not guilty when arraigned at the term of court in April 1809, but doesn't say when the prosecution ended. Since Whitney was the principal on the bond, it is evident that he was the prosecutor in the case. (The Act is on pages 83-84 of Volume 1). {{ref|9}}
 William O. Whitney probably purchased land in Bedford Co. Tennessee, sometime around 1810, and moved his family from Georgia. He built The Whitney Tavern, on Holland Street, in Shelbyville, and also owned a livery stable and store. The Whitney Tavern was sold to a member of the Holland Family and it ultimately became the Historical landmark, Holland Hotel in Shelbyville.

 "General Andrew Jackson was invited by special invitation to come to Shelbyville for a 4th of July Celebration. He was unable to make that date but did come on July 8, 1826. Accounts record that he was a tall, slender man with reddish hair and very polite as he rode into Shelbyville on horseback that day. He stayed as a guest in the home of his old friend, Gen. Robert Cannon which was located on the site of the Fly Building. A banquet and ball were given in his honor at the Whitney Tavern on Holland Street. The ball was led by Mrs. Ruth P. Whitney, her daughter Harriet P. Scudder, and by General Andrew Jackson himself." {{ref|12}}
 The following notice appeared in the Knoxville Register newspaper of 8 November 1826:
 :"Monday morning, 23rd October, 1826, a personal recontre took place on the public square in Shelbyville between Major Philip J. Scudder and Captain William O. Whitney, in which the latter was killed."
 Children of William O. and Ruth (Payne) Whitney, based on a census reconstruction, probably incomplete (some of the earlier "children" may not actually have been children):
