Hi! I am overwhelmed by the hard work and effort put into researching John Calhoun Whaley. Thank you so very much! I have taken your advice to heart and researched the newspapers from 1913 and I have also received John's death certificate, but it does not list his parents. I have had some luck researching the South Carolina census, which I have determined is where he was from, but nothing I have will confirm that the John I found in the SC census is my John. Is there anyway to do this that I do not know about? I have found a John C. Calhoun Whaley, and a John Whaley that could possibly be him, but the age is circumspect. Thank you so much for your invaluable and exhaustive help for me! I am so grateful for you ladies! Deborah Whaley

Well, he ought to be, if Rev. Sam. Whaley in his book 'English Record of the Whaley Family' is correct when he says on page 2: "Among those honoured [by William the Conqueror] was the standard bearer in the battle of Hastings whose name was Wyamarus Whaley. He was also honoured with the Lordship of Whaley in the wapentake of Blackburn in the county of Lancaster". In 1086, twenty years after the Norman Conquest of England, William sent out his commissioners to record in detail the value of the 'loot' he had won at Hastings, in what we know as the Domesday Survey. As well as the extent of the land, how it was cultivated, the annual income from it, and the taxes, or 'geld' due, the survey also recorded the names of the people who held the land. So, a mere twenty years after the Conquest, Wyamarus should have his name in the Domesday book, or if not him, then his son Eustace, or his grandson John. I cannot find mention of any of these names in the Domesday Survey of the Hundred (or Wapentake) of Blackburn. It is, of course, in Latin, but it's quite short, and the names would stand out. In any case, the Rev. Thomas Dunham Whitaker, in his book 'An History of the Original Parish of Whalley' (4th Edition, 1872), gives the Latin, then talks around the subject in (fairly) plain English. Here are two extracts, with my comments in square brackets []: 'In the time of King Edward [the Confessor] the whole of this district [which later became south Lancashire, and which includes the Blackburn hundred] was the property of the Crown. It had been granted soon after the Conquest (a vast donation) to Roger of Poitou: at the time of Domesday, with the exception of the grants made by Roger, it had been taken in exchange or resumed by the Conqueror, and, excepting certain knight's fees previously granted by him, it remained in the Crown.' 'The whole of this [Blackburn] hundred had been given [by Roger de Poitou] to Roger de Busli and Albert Greslet, who at the time of the Survey had re-granted, to certain "homines" [persons] eleven carucates and an half, which were not charged, as the grantors had acquitted them of all burdens for the term of three years' Whitaker says 'Blackburn hundred had two churches, Whalley and Blackburn'. He also says that the church of Whalley [spelled 'Wallei' in the Survey] had an endowment of two carucates [a carucate being about 100 acres], and to the church was annexed the Manor of the town. [A Manor was an estate of land, with jurisdiction of the people who lived there; the smallest unit of civil administration] So is Wyamarus just a myth? The matter will bear further consideration. If anyone (a Latin scholar, perhaps) would like more detail of the Domesday Survey of Blackburn, please let me know. Frank Whalley

Neither spouses or children were listed in census records until the 1850 census. The only women who may have been listed would have been as heads of household.

Hi WSPers We were talking about coat of arms awhile back. My friend photocopied the introduction of "Heraldry, Customs Rules and Styles" by Carl-Alexander von Volborth (1981). The reference that I sought could be enhanced by the reading of von Volborth's book. But at any rate: "Originally a means of identification for the warrior class, the heraldic shield came to be used on the seals needed to authenticate documents, and the practice of using armorial devices as cognizances soon spread to burghers, municipal governments, craft guilds and the Church. Gradually the arms became hereditary and it became the custom to display armorial bearings. After their disappearance from the battlefield, they lived on, deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of European society. "Unfortunately there are individuals and firms who prey on the vanity of people desiring a coat of arms. They compile lists of family names, find arms that seem to go with the name and try to sell the arms to a customer, who then genuinely believes that these are the arms to which he is entitled. "Sincere there is no such thing as 'arms of a family name', it should be obvious that such an offer is fraudulent." Evidently the heraldry changes, albeit slightly, with each individual within that family and would change from generation to generation. One thing these photocopies speak of, and something that puzzled me from reading about *a* Whaley coat of arms was the word argent, which is a tincture that is white. Or is yellow. Gules is red. Azure is blue. Sable is black, Vert is green. Purpure is purple. Descriptions of Ordinaries and Subordinaries (symmetrical marks) are interesting. One thing I do not have is how the shield changed -- or could change -- from one family member to another, as my buddy only photocopied the pix and intro. For those truly captivated by the subject, a trip to the library may be in order! Sue J.

I am searching the James WHELAN line from Ireland to Canada to Boston. James born est 1823, listed on 1871 Halifax census as 48 years and "Parents from Ireland."was married to Johanna CROOK (COOKE, CROOKE various spellings.) Listed as 47 years at the time, also parents from Ireland. Children, Mary, John, Patrick, Michael, James AND son Thomas WHELAN, born est 1853, NOT listed in the same house, married Mary Ellen LONERGAN, (daughter of Thomas LONERGAN and Bridget BURKE) in NS. Their son Thomas WHELAN, born in 1873 married Jessie MACLEOD (daughter of Thomas MACLEOD and MARY NICHOLSON of Montague, PEI.) They relocated to Arlington, and Medford Mass. Children born to this couple, James (1900-1989) Dorothy and Margaret WHELAN, Mother Jessie died in 1901 when the children were toddlers, and Thomas remarried to Anne Alice HAMILTON of Medford, Mass est 1915. Son James married Lillian CONNORS (1900-1976) daughter of William and Sarah CONNORS from Abington, Mass. their WHALEN children (spelling changed with this line) Terry, Tom, Bill, Jim, Dorothy, Francis. All living in their 60's and 70's. Any connections or info would be greatly appreciated, thank you. Ruth

>From Jackie Weeden: In addition to what Americans did to Americans in the *un* Civil War, here is some info relating to what Americans did to Americans even earlier--during the Revolutionary War years. STATE PAPERS OF VERMONT, Volume SIX, Sequestration, Confiscation and Sale of Estates-Published by Authority by Rawson C, Myrick, Secretary of State, 1941 LDS Film XL1B7-102 #2160 1321236, Item 4 Briefly....Committees of safety acting under the authority of Vermont were appointed and directed to take into THEIR custody all estates of inimical persons who had heretofore or that might thereafter by sufficient evidence, proved to be inimical to the American cause. This was in July 8, 1777....General Burgoyne's army was pressing upon the frontiers of the new commonwealth and immediate action was taken to protect the lives and property of the inhabitants....In order to raise money for the military force that would be needed, commissioners of sequestration were appointed and the property of Tories within the state was seized and sold at public vendue to furnish these sinews of war. Records show that the treasury immediately began to fill... a regiment was raised and their bounties paid within 15 days... Michael Dunning, Commissioner of Sequestration gave an account of what he took and who he sold it to and the price. Some Whaleys were mentioned-- "a mr. whaley gave asistance, and got paid 0-3-0." (Pounds, shillings, pence?) "A Theophilus Whaley & Rufus weaver for priseing Adam deals farm and myself, 0-15-0. august 16 ad 1777" "Taken from Benjamin Reynolds one stack of hay and sold to Isaac whaley for 3-0-0." There was much property confiscated and sold and the Tories mostly departed and went to New York where they were protected by England. Some went to Canada and were given help there by England. An account by Michael Dunning Sept. 29th 1778 tells of MUCH personal property sold at a Vandue and to whom: >From pages 314 and 315 : gorge gardner--(George Gardner) was relieved of a grinstone, one Yoake of stears, two heffers, one stack of hay, one woden slay, 30 appel trees, 30 appel trees, 50 appel trees, one potash cettle. John Sweet was relieved of : one wescote, one pair of Striped troses, one flanell shurt, one was cote, one cote. Adam deal lost: one waste cote, one coat, one sertute cote, one waist cote, one Pair of briches, two swine, two Calves, two fat swine weighing 187 and sold to Matthew Lion Prise 3-5-0. Some others mentioned as being relieved of their property were: Eleck Nicolson, Beriah buck, Samuel Andrewson, david goff, Paul gardner, Nathan walker, Benjamin Reynolds, mrs Andrewson, Joseph Andrewson and many others. (Joseph Andrewson's bed kirtuns were confiscated.) When the war was over, some of these Tories returned and gave an oath of allegiance to the new government. However, they were not very popular with their neighbors. Most of those who went to Canada stayed there and were prosperous. Claims presented to the British government by these former Tories for their real estate and personal property losses amounted to millions of dollars.

Any updated information on my family is greatly appreciated: As generations go, so far I have linked: I. James WHELAN married Johanna CROOKE (or COOKE) in Nova Scotia, possibly NFLD ( He married Bess SULLIVAN in 1896 as a second marriage, BUT the children listed on the 1871 Halifax census are all of his and Johanna's union.) Listed are: Mary, John, Patrick, Michael, James. Thomas is NOT listed as it is assumed he was born est 1842 and was living on his own as a fisherman, or steel worker. II. Thomas married Mary Lonergan of Halifax in 1873 and the family relocated to Mass. III Son Thomas of this couple, married Jessie Mcleod of PEI in 1892? IV Son James of this couple born 1900 married Lillian CONNORS of Abington,Mass. Daughters Dorothy and Margaret relocated to KY and Ohio sometime b/w 1920-1930 V Their children are James (born 1931), Francis, Dorothy, William, Tom, Terry Thanks much, GB

I have been getting messages from WSP for a while and just storing them. I have been meaning to send my info in but I guess I just never found the time. Well, I finally had some free time so here is my lineage: I am descended from William Whaley, SR b. abt1764 in Duplin Co., NC d. WFT Est. 1778-1855 Ukn. His wife was Sarah King b. WFT Est.1729-1759 d. WFT Est. 1779-1849 They had 3 children that I know of, William Whaley, Jr., Isaac Whaley, and Rigdon Whaley, Sr. Rigdon Whaley, Sr. b. abt. 1770 d. abt. 1860 and married to Rebecca Whaley b. abt 1785 d. abt 1870 is my ancestor. I am also researching the Simmons, Smith, Albertson, Thigpen and Patterson families which are related to this line in Duplin Co., NC.

Ruby I have seen the O'Brien entry for Theophilus and it does say he arrived in 1674 but there seems to be no real verification of that. That date may, instead, coincide with Theo's joint land deal with Daniel Swillivant. I will have more info to follow. There is a master passenger list, PASSENGER AND IMMIGRATION LISTS INDEX, First Edition by Gales Research Company, Editors P. William Filby and Mary K. Meyer. There are about 12 volumes in the Rochester library, apparently including updated information over a period of 10 years or so after the original publication. I have been through the first two volumes and have found the following entries: ARRIVAL ARRIVAL NAME AGE PLACE YEAR SOURCE PAGE Wale, Theophilus NA Virginia 1674 6264 215* Wale, John NA Virginia 1655 2772 340 Whalley, Oliver NA Virginia 1698 9151 182 Whaley, George NA Virginia 1663-1679 943 128 Whaley, James NA Virginia 1698 6264 216 Whaley, Richard NA Virginia 1684 2524 87 Whalley,Ann 23 America 1706 9151 218 Whalley, Thomas 15 America 1705 9151 214 Wale, Edward NA Barbados 1654-1663 943 23 Wale, F francis NA Barbados 1654-1663 943 37 Wale, John NA Barbados 1679 3283 506 (with servants) Wale, Joseph 30 Maryland 1775 2128 128 Wale, Mary NA America 1754 9151 352 Whaley, Richard NA Virginia 1684 * cannot find this actual record in the O'Brien book referenced. 6264 "IRISH SETTLERS IN AMERICA" Michael O'Brien (makes me suspicious that Theo may have come from Ireland) 2772 "EARLY VIRGINIA IMMIGRANTS 1623-1666 by George Cabell Greer 9151 Michael Tepper 2524 " A LIST OF EMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND TO AMERICA" Michael Ghirelli Please forgive me but I am putting this information together in a hurry. This note is an overview of the extent of information available through the index. If there are any individuals or dates of interest, please contact me and I will verify the information. PS-Ruby I sent a separate note to Fayette when I noticed his entry. I asked for more information so I could help ID his relations. I haven't heard back from him yet. Again, apologies for the quick and perhaps mostly accurate reponse. The family and I are off to Toronto for a long weekend. Please write me if you have questions about any of this information.

Jackie sent me some pages from a book she found in the Madison Library. It lists thousands of people who came to America. On page 2179? are some Wales---Info given for each person is: Last name, first name, age, destination, year of arrival, number of source book in which this particular person was found. Wale, Theophilus, N.A., Virginia, 1674, 6264, p. 215 (N.A. means not available.) So a Theophilus Wale came to Virginia in 1674. The source book was: O'Brien: Grantees of Land in the Colony and State of Virginia, p. 215 Other Wales were ___, Edward, Ffrancis, John, John, John, Joseph, Joseph, Mary and William. This is from page 2179?. There is also a Waley, Richard on that page. (The last number of the page number is partly missing.) Page 2184 has Walleys--Page 2242 has Whalley, Whaly and Whaley. She has included three pages of source books for those numbered in the lists. So...how do I get this to you? Or is this book available to you in your libraries??? Or are you interested?? Ruby

Hi--I don't know if David Fayette Whaley is a WSP member. I asked him but he didn't tell me. I felt SO successful using the data I had to show him what we had on Fayette. A very unusual name, I told him--the ONLY Fayette we have. Anyway, I called Jackie this morning and the line continues like this: Fayette Orson Remington ???????Charles and Esther??????? I can furnish FGSs for all of the above except Orson, and it is on its way from Beloit. So we are back to that group again. Robert, is this in your NY area? I know you descend from Theophilus. Some have tried to get from Charles to Theophilus using Samuel, but there is no Charles in that line. Jackie pointed out that it is POSSIBLE to go to ???Thomas and then ???Lawrence and then Joane--the unmarried dau of Theophilus. Now I find that David Fayette Whaley's father taught in Rapid City SD--We are becoming better acquainted. George--is he a WSP member??? Thanks John for the encouraging info about switching material to other disks. Yup, you must be getting up in years, as is yours truly! <G> Ruby
