To Deb Whaley, etal, from Jackie Weeden. I found a SC census record that looks very promising. In the Census for 1850 for Abbeyville Co SC, Saluda Twp. : Lewis Whaley- age 58 b SC Elizabeth Whaley- age 38 b SC Demaris Whaley- age 22 (Male) b SC John Whaley- age 16, b SC This John Whaley is of the right age to be your John Calhoun Whaley. Notice that your John Calhoun Whaley named a son Lewis and a daughter Elizabeth. And there was a Downs Calhoun family living next door to this Lewis Whaley in the 1850 census. This location is in western SC, as I mentioned before. What do you think????
