Good Evening, I just joined the Whaley list in hopes of finding more information about the Whaley name and our ggggrandfather, Prosser Whaley who was born 9 Oct 1812 in New York. He married Jane E. Conklin born 24 July 1818 in Niagara county in the state of New York. I first find Prosser on the 1840 census in Oneida county, NY in the town of Vienna. Prosser and Jane had these children: Archer L. Whaley born Sept 1835 in Oneida county; Charlotte Louisa Whaley born 17 Apr 1837 in Syracuse, NY; Jennette Whaley born in Upper Canada ca 1839; Adeline Julia Whaley born 9 Apr 1843 in NY and Mary Jane Whaley born ca 1845 in Greene county, WI. I would like to find Prosser's parents. I believe Prosser to be a brother to David, Jeremiah P., Damon, and Archa Whaley from the Oneida/Oswego counties in NY. They all end up in Allamakee county, IA in the 1850's. Thank you George for the welcome and adding Prosser to your list. Kindest regards, Karen
