Does anyone have any information on these Whaleys found on the 1840 Carter Co TN Census: p. 174 Jeremiah WHALEY and Matilda H. WHALEY I'm wondering if Matilda H. WHALEY is the mother of my 4th g gm Margaret D. WHALEY b: 28 Jul 1819 NC d: 21 Dec 1889 McMinn Co TN, m: Taylor McNABB on 30 Jul 1840 Washington Co TN. Taylor and Margaret named their eldest dau. Louisa Matilda (my 3rd g gm). Matilda H. WHALEY had a female in her 1830 & 1840 household the right age to be my Margaret. The only other WHALEY in Carter Co who had a female the right age to be my Margaret was John WHALEY in 1830 (where was he in 1840??) Searching the Whaley-L archived messages I found a message dated March 1999 from Jackie Weeden ([email protected]) which mentions a pension application for Matilda H. WHALEY that names 2 children - Clarissa & James C., and husband Abraham. I'd like to find out more about this. Did she just name these 2 children because they were the only ones living close by?? My Margaret and her husband lived in Union Co GA in 1841-c1855, Polk Co TN in c1855/1860, and McMinn Co TN 1870 until their deaths. I have census info. for Matilda H. WHALEY from 1830-1860. I found a marriage record for her daughter Clarissa C. who married Jacob CONSTABLE 2 Oct 1848 Washington Co TN. Does anyone know where in NC Matilda WHALEY came from? Thanks! Nicole Pinson
