My Revolutionary War Patriot, James Whaley, held Carter lands on Broad Run in Loudoun Co, VA at his death in 1785, which passed to his son, William. My James Jr. d. 1826 moved to Fayette Co, KY following his service in the war. I'm on the trail of the next generation back from this period of time. C. Carolyn Whaley Vosburg Houston, TX
