Dear folks, I can not tell the whole story with my slow typing but: Waxel Whaley married 17 dec 1853 to Celia Whaley was buried as Waxel Sandlin. He was the first bastard child of Elizabeth Sandlin and Isaac Whaley. My GGF William Sandlin was the last bastard child of Elizabeth Sandlin and Isaac ???????. The lineage is recorded in Kellom Maready's data base. I think a copy is at Dallas Herring's Library. Doug Clark Coppell, TX Home Town, Beulaville Lanier Family wrote: > > >From Duplin Co.
