Hello, I am looking for more information on William H. Whatley of Auburn, Lee County, Alabama. He is listed on the 1880 US Federal Census. His wife is Susan M., children are Robert, Adopha, James, Charles, Vitola, Edgar, and Mamie. I am truly searching for the information of Charles in that line. If you can help, please let me know. Thanks. Paul

I don't have anything on Charles or William, but I wonder if there is a tie to James Whatley who m. Glennie Daffin 22 Apr 1908 in Opelika.

Hello Paul, I regret that it has taken me so long to reply. William Henderson Whatley (1833-1891) is my great-great grandfather and I have a lot of information the family. He first married Mary Ann Johnson Curtis (1837-1872) Their children: Thomas Mayfield(1856-1930);Robert Simeon;William Dawson; Theodore Adolphus(1864-1935)-my great grandfather; James Virgil; Charlie Curtis(1867-1933); and Effie Vitula. Wm. Henderson's second wife was Susan's widowed sister Susan Curtis Estes. Their children were Edgar Jewell; and Mary Ann Clara(known as Mamie). Charlie Curtis married Esther Cumie Lynch and I will list dates and children in my next message. They had 12 children.

As my earlier message went out I noticed an obvious error. Wm. Henderson's second wife was Susan Curtis Estes and she was the widowed sister of first wife Mary Ann Johnson Curtis.

Terry, I thank you for your responses, but I have to tell you, I have run into a brick wall researching Charles Jefferson Whatley. My options are running low. Without having to pay someone to do the research, do you have any ideas. Paul

Hello Paul, I will check my records. In the meantime can you give me any more info? Thank you, Terry

Terry, I will be glad to send you more information.

Here is my family line, all from Cullman,
Myself - Paul Whatley
Dad - Fremon Ray Whatley
Grandfather - Fremon Edward Whatley
Great-Grandfather - Ira Freeman Whatley
Great-Great-Grandfather - Charles Jefferson Whatley

After that, here is the speculation;
Elisha Whatley
Solomon whatley
Jesse Whatley
Michael Whatley
Shirley Whatley

I have documentation that proves my bloodline from myself to Charles, I cannot seem to prove the link from Charles to Elisha. This is were I need help. If you can send me your email address, I can send you a PDF file on my history.
