Carol- Joane Whaley was not married. From Stiles, History of the Judges of King Charles I, p. 349: (The context of the paragraph below includes Stiles citing a Miss Nelly Hazleton, living in 1793, who listed Samuel Whaley's children, and indicated that from these children all the Whaleys in Narragansett and Connecticut were descended; Stiles then goes on below to show that Samuel was not the only possible ancestor of these Whaleys. The Judge Hopkins mentioned was Samuel Hopkins, grandson of Theophilus Whaley by his daughter Martha and her husband Joseph Hopkins) "There was indeed another Whale from Theophilus, but not from Samuel. Joane, the eldest daughter of old Theophilus never was married: yet had two children, who went by the name of Whale, Lawrence Whale and Mary Whale. Lawrence lived many years in Narragansett, and afterwards went away towards Hudson's river. Judge Hopkins did not know his birth, but if then living in 1785, he judged he would be aged 95, or certainly 12 or 15 years older than Judge Hopkins was, and so his birth about 1690. Doctor Torry, who was born October 19, 1707, was well acquainted with Lawrence, and judged him 15 years older than himself, which would bring his birth 1692...." -Bob -----Original Message----- From: Carolyn Vosburg [mailto:lynvos@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Saturday, July 15, 2006 8:48 AM To: WHALEY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WSP] Theophilus Whaley of Manhattan (son of Lawrence?), b. about 1705-1735, and Theophilus Whaley, son of Samuel, b. 1718 On Jul 14, 2006, at 9:17 PM, Hart Bob - Global IT wrote: > Theophilus of Manhattan > was the son of Lawrence (son of Joanne, daughter of Theophilus) Bob, Am I missing something here? Did Joanne Whaley, daughter of Theophilus Whaley, marry a Whaley? If not, then her son, Lawrence, would not be a Whaley, but have Joanne's husband's last name, wouldn't he? Hmmmmmmmmmm. C.

On a side note: When David took a job at the University of R.I. in 1960, we purchased a house not far from Narragansett in Peace Dale from Whaley Realty! Such fun to know we were living in Whaley territory even though it wasn't linked to our James Whaley of Virginia branch! C.
