For those of us from EZEKIEL WHALEY the 1769 taxables of Dobbs Co has JOHN WHALEY and that is where Ezekiel was on the 1790 census. Also on the list were John, Joseph, & Robert JARMAN. Ezekiel enlisted in Rev. War in Duplin Co. We know Ezekiel was in Lenoir Co and that was taken from Dobbs in 1791. Ezekiel was on Dobbs census 1790 and Lenoir was taken from Dobbs in 1791. Ezekiel was then on the 1800 Lenoir Co census. He probably never moved, but because of Dobbs being discontinued his county name changed to Lenoir. Is it possible Ezekiel never lived in Duplin, but ONLY enlisted there?? With Ezekiel born c1764 is it probable the JOHN WHALEY on 1769 Dobbs Co was Ezekiel's father?? --Does anyone have access to Dobbs Co deed/will/probate/etc? PLEASE look for John Whaley. Jean W.
