(Thomas Evans) WHALEY & Catharine [TAYLOR] WHALEY are my paternal great—great—great-grandparents. Edward WHALEY is incorrect. It should read Edwin WHALEY. Edwin WHALEY is a son of T.E. WHALEY. Sallie COX WHALEY died 13 Jan 1930. These are my great-great-grandparents. Sephrona is actually Saphronia WHALEY, daughter of T.E. & Catharine WHALEY. Nursie is Luncepey Nercissa WHALEY, daughter of T.E. & Catharine WHALEY. Eller is actually Ella and Emmer is actually Emma. These are twin girls, daughters of Edwin & Sallie WHALEY. Betty WHITE is Elisabeth WHALEY, daughter of T.E. & Catharine WHALEY. James Wakulla WHITE is her husband. "Emly" A. is Emily C. WHALEY, daughter of Jarmon H. WHALEY & Martha A. BUNCH. Jarmon is the son of T.E. & Catharine WHALEY. J.J. WINBORN, Emily's husband, is Joseph J. WINBURN. Jarmon married a Susan SASSER and she is believed to be in this cemetery, but her stone is unmarked. There are many unmarked stones and markers, some resembling blocks. This cemetery was visited 5 Mar 1989 and re-visited in September 1992 after the cemetery was cleaned and the stones were rubbed and whitened. Cemetery located off Highway 319 in Wakulla Co., FL on private property. The cemetery was once on WHALEY property when the stones were erected, but land was sold and property lines changed.
