Hi, There was a preacher in Sevier County, Tennessee J.W. H. Coker b. 1847 who was know for his Whistling. the necessity of "whistling" some "to keep up courage," was anxious. Does this fit?

That does not mean that there wasn't one, but there was a man around here before my time known as "Whistling" John Valentine. He has one of the earlier graves at Horse Branch Free Will Baptist Church. Wonder if that is who you are referring to.
