One of my collateral lines had an Arthur George Whaley born c 1851 in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, England and died 1937 in Wakefield, Yorkshire. He was a vicar of Wakefield.

Here's an alternative for ya'll - For a specific other state or special project - http://www.usgenweb-search.us/ (not all states are available but soon will be) I found it quite interesting as these just focus on web sites associated with the various USGenWeb Project sites - which depending upon your query can be more specific perhaps than Ancestry, Google or some other search engine. I know for myself that my family tended to hop across county lines rather than the lines redrawn around them as the census years rolled by. Perhaps your missing family is sitting just over a county line - where you may have not been looking. Tim Stowell
Carolyn, This little article was found at the Oakland County Pioneer and Historical Society in Pontiac, MI. in a file of birth, death, and interesting items on file cards: Whaley, James (p.211, Pike's History of Camden, Oneida Co. NY 1897) James Whaley came here prior to 1809; he was in the War of 1812. His Bro. Theophilus Whaley came from Lake George about 1821. He was a soldier of "76". His wife was born and brought up in Litchfield, Conn. Mr & Mrs Theophilus Whaley lived and died on this farm (North Hillsboro) and are buried in the family lot close by. Mr Whaley died 1827 ae 68. Mary, his wife d. 1842 ae 74. There were 8 children. 5 sons and 3 dau. Reuben Whaley, s. of Theophilus was b. at Lake George, 1787; d. in Camden, Nov., 1850. His wife was b. 1802; d.1888. Reuben Whaley was in the War of 1812 and she drew a pension until her death. They are buried in Forest Park Cem.; had 7 ch. One more: (Savages Gen. Dict. of RI) Whaley, Samuel of Kingston, RI, only s. of Theophilus of same, had 2 wives; 1st Hopkins; 2nd Harrington; (as Potter reports- 7 ch; Thomas, Samuel, Theophilus, James or Jeremy, John, and 2 daus. That he d. abt. 1782. Theophilus of Kingston came from VA. with wife Elizabeth, abt. 1676 and had Joan, Ann, Theodosia, Elizabeth, Martha, Lydia & Samuel; but it is thought that if not more, the 2 eldest were born in VA. Potter says he knew Hebrew and Greek and d. abt 1719 or 20, ae 104.) This may not have anything at all to do with the James you are looking for or his descendants; and if not then may help someone else, as I'm trying to get all my bits of info posted while I can.

Carolyn- Maybe I am missing something, but I think you have pretty good connections to work with here, and I think you have the answer. Sure, you can't say it's "proven", but that is not the same thing as not having the answer. It looks to me like there is good material to work with to build a very strong case for some chain of men named James from Westmoreland to Stafford to Loudoun. "Probably" or "Very Probably" seems achievable. I may not have this quite right, but it appears you have Robert Carter, grandfather and grandson, dealing with men named James Whaley in two counties, some years apart. James Whaley oversaw the estate of Robert Carter in 1732 and James Whaley was leasing land from Carter's grandson later. Way too much coincidence there. Add to that you have two brothers James and William in Westmoreland (from your message below), and two men named James and William in Loudoun, both in the vicinity of more Carters in the 1780's (from that website). One must be careful of duplication, but there weren't all that many James and William Whaleys running around together then, so maybe even a process-of-elimination approach will work. Thomas and James in Westmoreland County both had dealings with Robert Carter in 1710-1732, earliest mention I see is 1711 when Robert Carter was represented by Daniel McCarty who appeared instead of Thomas Whale (Ruth and Sam Sparacio, Westmoreland County, Virginia Order Book multi-volume in one (McLean, Virginia: The Antient Press, 1998), 1709-1712:76). On the web, I see on 28 April 1728, Thomas Owsley (who had dealings with Daniel McCarty) posted bond to James Whaley of Westmoreland County to ensure he would execute a deed transferring ownership of 250 acres on the south side of Accotinck Run in Stafford County, Virginia, and this land was sold to James on 12 and 13 June 1728 ("Generation #6: Thomas Owsley and Ann", <owslfl.tripod.com/myowsleyfamilyhistory/id13.html>). So that seems to be the same James, and the record is certainly findable, giving more neighbors to look at wherever Accotinck Run was. -Bob -----Original Message----- From: whaley-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:whaley-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Carolyn Vosburg Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 10:41 PM To: whaley@rootsweb.com Subject: [WHALEY] The many James Whaleys of Early Virginia On Apr 30, 2007, at 8:29 PM, Justin Whaley wrote: > The two Robert Carters are father and son.

The father (1663-1732) and son (1704-1732) died within a few months of each other, so the grandson, Robert III, is the one under whom my James, Sr. d. 1785 and his son, James, Jr. d. 1826 held lands on Broad Run, VA. Earliest records I've found on our James d. 1785: He marries his first wife, Hannah Higgerson, in Stafford County in 1739. His last name is recorded then as "Whealey". "Nov 16, 1748. George Harrison of Fairfax to James Whealey of same, planter . . . 100 acres . . . for natural lives of said James Whealey, Hannah Whealey, his wife, John Whealey, son of said James. Signed: Geo. Harrison, Witness: Jno. Hamilton" By 1762 James Whaley, Sr. had land on Broad Run under tenancy of Robert Carter III, Esquire, of Lancaster Co, grandson of Robert "King" Carter. NOTE: Robert Carter, III (1728-1804) of Baltimore, Maryland; Nomini Hall, Westmoreland Co., VA; and Williamsburg, VA; grandson of Robert "King" Carter Source: VA Historical Society Mss1C2468a (Microfilm Id): Robert Carter's (III) Land Book Section 22, Robert Carter [III] Correspondence 1754-1804. "William Ellzey (attorney at Dumfries, VA concerning JAMES WHALEY, WILLIAM WHALEY and land in Loudoun Co, VA)" But, as far as zero-ing in on James' father! The following was sent by Bob Hart today: Thomas Whaley and a James Whaley of Westmoreland County both had dealings with a different ***Robert Carter*** (estate, 1732) of that same county in the 1710-1730 timeframe. This Thomas Whaley and James Whaley also both had dealings with Daniel McCarty, so perhaps they were brothers/relatives. There was a James Whaley mentioned in Westmoreland County in 1691, who would logically have been their father. This may be the family of James b. 1674 in Westmoreland who had William, Thomas and James, and an unnamed daughter. So far, I've not been able to make any connections with this branch. It gets SO CONFUSING!!!!
