At the time of his death, William Whitson was in a business partnership with Charles Whitson.  Although Charles was of an age to possibly be his nephew, no firm documentation has yet come-to-light to specify how they were related.

It seems that at the time of his death, William has not *yet* acquired clear legal title to his land, as the [http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/Image.asp?Accession=AR0850%5F%5F%2E156&Format=SmallGIF&Page=1&Index=26&QryID=74508%2E87 land document itself] is dated [[Aug 26]], 1838 for the "West Half of the South East Quarter of Section Six" and also [http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/Image.asp?Accession=AR0850%5F%5F%2E442&Format=SmallGIF&Page=1&Index=27&QryID=74508%2E87 this document] on the same date for the "South Half of the South West quarter of Section Seventeen"

Perhaps his surviving partner Charles Whitson completed the paperwork, as [http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/Image.asp?Accession=AR0860%5F%5F%2E031&Format=SmallGIF&Page=1&Index=2&QryID=74508%2E87 this document] for Charles for the North West quarter of the South West quarter of Section seventeen" might seem to indicate, since it was also done on the same day.
