Whelchel's District was GMD 570. The interesting thing is that Polkville Dist. is indexed as Whelchels Dist. on the 1880 census on Ancestry.com. If a person was in an institution, or prison, they still should have been enumerated on the census. Is there someone in particular that you are looking for?
