My name is Anne Guitar Witherspoon. I'm a fifth generation Guitar and you all know WAY more about my family than i do. I didn't even know there was another mansion built. We have pictures of the old one all around our house, I never knew people thought it was a haunted. I'm just fascinated that you all know as much as you do!

My name is Judy and I am John Guitar III daughter. MY Great grandparents are John and Laura Guitar. I have just recently been doing a sort of 'roots' search and I have found lots of information. Is your father or Grandfather Guy Witherspoon? One of our relatives has published a great book abouot the history of the family, if you want the info I would be happy to give it to you. I don't live in Abilene but I visit once a year. I will probably come in at Thanksgiving.

Oh wow! I'm actually John and Laura's great great granddaughter (I'm young still, only 21) Then Guy Witherspoon is my great grandpa. Charlotte and John Witherspoon are my grandparents. Then Judy and John Witherspoon are my parents. We have a family tree of the guitar reunion in '83 hanging up i just ran and looked at it. And yes, I have the older book written by Earl and Anita Guitar. Then we just got a newer one I haven't looked at yet. Do you live in Texas?

Morning Annie,
So glad to be corresponding with you. I live in Kentucky with my husband of 42 yrs. We have six children and 7 grandkids. The new book you spoke of... does it happen to be Jim Alexanders book on the Guitars, Alexanders and Hill families? If so, it's a great book that you will learn lots from!
My G Grandparents were John and Laura Guitar, my Grandparents were John and Ernestine Guitar, my parents are John GutiarIII and Betty Ciarrocchi( my parents divorced when I was very young) I grew up in So. Calif. I visit Abilene once a year to see my dad who still lives there. My sister( Sharon ) and I will be there this Nov. to celebrate Thanksgiving with our dad.
Make it a great day!
Judy
