Dear Robert, etal-- Your messages have been delivered to Jackie. No, she has never seen Whaley spelled that way. That makes 50 different ways, I think! <G> She will be glad to check that spelling in the Immigration Index book she discovered in the Madison Library when she returns there, but she hasn't plans for another trip there in the immediate future. P.S. from Ruby-- If you found Theophilus WEALE in VA and England both, it would seem that maybe he really WAS a Theophilus, and the name was not an alias for Robert, as some seem to think. You are doing some good research--keep it up. Did you see her paper re the 6 men named Theophilus??? If you want a copy, let me know.
