Looking for information on the Whalen family of Scipio. The 1900 Census of Scipio, on pg 98b, shows this: (no birth years written) WHALEN, John; Head, born in Ireland in March, 40yrs old, married (but no wife in household) WHALEN, Ellen; sister, born in Ireland in March, 70yrs old, WIDOW, 1 child-still living WHALEN, Dennis; uncle, born in Ireland in June, 50yrs old, single WHALEN, Daniel; uncle, born in Ireland in Apr, 60yrs old, single It would seem that if Ellen were John's sister, as a widow her name would not be Whalen. Because of the vast age difference I wonder if she could this be John's widowed mother with Dennis and Daniel being brothers to her? In St. Bernard's new cemetery in Scipio are Ellen Whalen and John "her son" with no dates. There is also a Patrick Whalen who died May 7, 1895 age 78yrs. Does anyone know if he was Ellen's husband and if they were possibly John's parents?
