I believe that the man who may be my earliest James Whaley of record held lands for Robert "King" Carter on the plantations Old Ordinary and Moon's Place: Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. 7., p. 68. "The other places named in the (Robert Carter) inventory are OLD ORDINARY, JAMES WHALEY, overseer; Moon's Place, JAMES WHALEY, overseer; Medcalfe Place, John Orden, overseer;..." Mss1C2465a (Microfilm ID) 1) Section 7, Robert Carter Land Book, 1802. "The volume includes a description of plantations in ... Westmoreland County ..OLD ORDINARY...and tracts of land Westmoreland (Brent and Metcalf) Virginia." After the deaths of both Robert "King" Carter AND his son, Robert, Jr., in 1732, the grandson, Robert "Councillor" Carter inherited and my most documented James Whaley (b ca 1720-d 1785) held a tenancy on his lands on Broad Run in Fairfax, later Loudoun co, VA! So, these Whaley men had dealings with the Carters going back many years. The other James Whaley of Loudoun Co, VA (d. 1784 md. Lydia Remey) held lands on Flat Lick for the Lee and Turberville families of Virginia, thank goodness, or I'd never be able to keep their records straight. Thanks for the suggested reference source! I'll see if I can track one down or someone who has the book to look up where these plantations were in early VA! Carolyn On May 17, 2007, at 9:47 AM, Dal Mallory wrote: > Try David W.
