Karen & Suzanne - I'm interested in this one! I'm listing a little info, in case you don't have. Any info would be appreciated. Has anyone checked Delaware for info on Joseph Wheatley? Faye The 1850 Wilkes Co. census showed: Household 371 Gibson Collins age 57 Farmer b. GA Elizabeth " 57 b. NC John G. 24 b. GA 372 Joseph Wheatley 81 b. Delawre Nancy 45 b. GA Sally 49 b. GA 376 S. G. Wheatley 42 Mary A. 21 Simeon 20 Sophronia 18 Joseph J. 16 Timothy 15 (more children, but not listed) 389 Abel Wheatly 70 M b. VA Nancy 60 Elizabeth 19 Lucy 17 Martha 16 Jane 6/12 According to the 1802 Wilkes Co. Tax Digest, Joseph Wheatley reported 126 acres on Morris's Ck., joining lands of Wm. Heard - land originally granted to Jon'n Goolsby. Moses Collins was nearby - had 200 acres on Morris's Creek, joining lands of Jas. Thurmond, land originally granted to Moses Collins. In 1804, both Joseph Wheatley and Abel Wheatley were listed. Joseph reported the 126 acres. Abel was listed, but did not own land. (He was b. abt 1780 in VA & would have been about 24 years in 1804.) The 126 acres was conveyed on 20 Nov 1802 (deed book TT, p. 272) from Azariah Bailey, Francis McClendon & Theophilus Hill, exors. of estate of Jacob McClendon to Joseph Wheatley, for $400, on Morris Creek waters - part of tract granted to Jonathan Goolsbrough. One of the witnesses was Abel Wheetley. > Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 14:56:25 -0600 > From: Karen Sue Rogers <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: Joseph WHEATLEY > > Surname: WHEATLEY, COLLINS > ------------------------- > > Suzanne, PLEASE share your info with me too. > I'm descended from Joseph WHEATLEY thru his daughter,Elizabeth WHEATLEY( > March 4 1796 North Carolina-1852?
