>From Jackie Weeden-- We appreciate your effort in trying to prove that Edward Whaley and Elizabeth Caldwell are the parents of your James Ratliff Whaley. The two different marriage dates on record (1803 and 1830) show there is an error, probably someone transposing the 1803 to 1830. The prime source would be the handwritten record on film at LDS for Greene Co marriages from 1800 to 1840. The 50 mile trip to Ozark AL where James R. died would be worth a trip. Go a day when the courthouse is open and get a copy of his death certificate. Since he d 1924 there should be one there. Or check the library for an obituary in some old newspaper. And please go to the Asbury cemetery and write down what the Whaley stones say. Perhaps if he had siblings, they might also be buried near there. (His obituary should name siblings and parents.) You keep mentioning Dothan, AL. Evidently you live near there. Ruby has Whaley cousins there--Emma Whaley Dean, Edward R., Verdie Lee Black, Eva Lundie Riddle and John W., children of Lester Whaley and Onnie L. Hildreth. (Desc Please let us know your results.
