    2. Hi WSP members--I was asked to look at messages on a Whaley web and *of course* we had some answers to enter and have been sending Weeden's FGSs out. JOSHUA and MARTHA PEARCE CROW--Doug and Terri have some new ancestors. Joshua was s/o Isham and Lile/Lyle , s/o ?Isaac R. and Harris, s/o William and Hannah Brewton/Bruton. They are very pleased to get Weeden's FGSs for this line. JOHN and MARY AIRHEART--there seem to be thousands of descendants of John and Mary! WSPers Joy and Nita and Glenda have been working for ages, it seems, on this large family. There is a TX Biographical Sketch re this family, naming all 13 children. And it says father of John was a s/o Hercules from VA. The name Hercules is very prevalent in this line. Joy's uncle T.L. found and copied an 1832 VA will by a Hercules and it is the will of the father of the John who married Airheart. There were some other names mentioned and so I told Joy to send a copy to Jackie. It said that Hercules said that he had conveyed his share of his father's lot and mansion in NYC to his sister Margaret Hurst. Jackie looked at the NY wills and found a Thomas had a will and had sons Hercules, Thomas and Cook Malcolm (or Mulligan) and daughter MARGARET. Thomas had married a Sarah Mulligan (who had a brother Hercules!) Then Jackie went to the Rev. Sam book and found that Thomas was s/o James, the immigrant, who married Margaret ?Goff. And there is some data from a descendant's Journal that says that James was the grandson of Henry who was brother to Edward the Regicide. This Journal was written by Thomas Whaley who built the Whaley house in old San Diego. His wife was Anna Delauney. So sometimes there are real surprises!! If anyone is descended from John and Mary Airheart, then this line goes back and back and back. WILLIAM and HANNAH BREWTON--*DOT* wanted to know if anyone had data re this family, as she is descended from John Peppers who married a Hester. She thought Hester was a WHALEY, and yes, Hester Whaley, dau of William and Hannah Brewton married John Peppers. So now she is getting a copy of our GA Whaley book. . HANNAH nee BREWTON--of course 99% of the descendants of William and Hannah say she was a *Round*, but we have two documents that say she was a Brewton (with various spellings) One is from a list of GA heads of house in 1805 and Hannah is listed as: 1805 Jackson Co GA *Hannah Whaley, widow of William, nee Brewton.* 1805 was the year of a lottery and she applied as she was a widow with minors, but was not a winner. Well, NEE is not anything that can be changed. We have spent $$ and time researching the Round family and can find no data showing a marriage between William and Hannah Round, dau of James Round. Therefore, our records continue to show her as Hannah Brewton. ALEXANDER (3) and LEVERICH--again. There are still some who say that this Alexander was the father of William M. of Sevier Co TN. Alexander (3) did have a son William, but that William d pre 1832 and had sons David and John. Alexander and Leverich and their family never left the NY area. He was s/o Alexander (2) and Shaw, s/o James (1) and Margaret ?Goff. So there goes another line back to Henry, brother of Edward, the Regicide. FGS report. Weeden's FGS are slowly being entered on disk and they have been so valuable because it only takes a few seconds to find them and zap them off to someone. The T Whaleys are near completion and then some W Whaleys are last. I suspect there will be another zillion Williams waiting. Popular names? The winners still are John and James. More strange names??? Consider and Rosebud. Ulysses Grant Whaley showed up, also. (They called him Grant.) (880 and counting.) LEWIS/LOUIS WHALEY-does anyone know of a Lewis Whaley b about 1910 in Jasper Co MO. Where did he go??? Is he the Louis C. d 5-8-1981 Los Angeles Co CA? JAMES RATLIFF WHALEY-the stone wall is still there, but we are trying to find the guardianship records for James R. and his sister. They should name his father. We continue to find people who say that James' mother Elizabeth, b 1802 was the Elizabeth Caldwell that married Edward Whaley in 1803! There is a mistake on a publication of marriages that causes this confusion. The publication says the marriage was 1830! We checked the film of original marriages in Greene Co GA and it is 1803, not 1830. Someone has made a typo and transposed these numbers. (Happens to me all of the time! rlnsd) Ruby and Jackie
