Posted on: Jefferson County Obituaries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mo/JeffersonObits/246 Surname: WHALEY, VANHOOK ------------------------- Sharon, the WHALEY surnamed sounded familiar to me, so I checked my index. My ancestor Mary "Polly" VanHook married John Lee, they resided in Harrison Co., KY before moving to Jefferson Co., MO. Mary's brother Archelaus VANHOOK married a JEMIMA WHALEY b. 1776 in Loudon Co., VA. Since Mary and John moved to MO, posssibly the WHALEY family that settled there were also of the Loudon Co., VA family. This is all the information that I have, and probably not much help except if you haven't looked in Loudon Co., VA, you might look there for your WHALEY family. Archelaus VANHOOK and JEMIMA WHALEY VANHOOK both died in Montgomery Co., IN.
