Compiled 1973 Revised 1990 Mary Elizabeth (Whatley) Jones

Tracing our Whatley line from Shirley Whatley who died in 1779 to
the present has been my goal in this book. His Will written in 1778
named the following legatees: WILLIS, ORNAN,
WHARTON, MICHAEL, WILSON (who surveyed land), MARY (daughter-in-law)
and children, and "all the rest", and wife Rebecca. Early
genealogists list children from an earlier
marriage as SHIRLEY, Jr., JOHN, WILLIAM, MARY, BENJAMIN, and LYDIA.
His first wife's name is thought to have been Mary Cherry.

By examining wills and tax lists concerning Shirley's legatees, lists
have been made of a number of his descendants. Other descendant lists
found in this book are from Family Bibles,
tombstone inscriptions, and from written family histories.

I wish to express my appreciation to each of you who has helped me
collect this information. Numerous kinfolk have contributed data to
this book, and each contribution is deeply appreciated. Please accept
my heartless thanks to ALL who have helped so
generously. Our daughter, Harriet Jones Bass, is also appreciated for
her hours of assistance with the computer.

I urge each of you who is interested in the Whatley name to continue
researching it. Interest in this subject has heightened to a great
extent in recent years and surely there is much more to discover!

==============================================

EARLY WHATLEYS IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA

It seems to be the consensus of opinion at this time among
genealogists that the Whatleys of the Southern part of the United
States descend from Sir John Whatley of From, Somerset,
England. Sir John was given a Coat of Arms by the King of
England, showing three garbes or sheaves of wheat on the shield,
depicting the wheat "fields" from which the names
WHEATLEIGH, WHATELEY and WHATLEY came. On its crest is a helmet and a
stag's head.
In the year 1670, a John Whatley who had received a Land Grant
in Virginia in the Isle of Wight, wrote his Will and passed 100 acres
of land to his eldest son, John, as shown in
the following public notice :
1670, "Isle of Wight County Records, Virginia Land Grants: 1670,
September 14, John Wheatley, 100 acres escheat land, formerly
granted unto John Wheatley, senior, decd." 7W(l)281-303
John and Ann Whatley made their home up the James River, and
their graves were near Jamestown, Virginia. The name John
Wheatley appears frequently throughout the families of our
ancestors. Two other references to a John Whatley in Early America
are:
1708, "Parish Register, Christ Church, 1708 Ye 23rd of May,
Middlesex County, Virginia: John Whately and Mary Hurford (or
Hansford)".

1727, "Virginia Council Journals, 1726-1753: At a Council at the
Capitol, February 8, 1727: New Land Granted ---- in Hanover County,
including 400 acres surveyed for John Whately
---" 32V375

Our family records are proven to Shirley Whatley, who deeded
property in Hanover County, Virginia in the year 1734. This
transaction seems to have proceeded his moving to Orange County,
Virginia and to North Carolina where we find him later.

A copy of the Will of John Whatley, of the Isle of Wight, Virginia
was probated 1671, is included in this book. Note the name of the
witness, John BURWELL, a name often repeated for
the descendants of Shirley Whatley.

My Grandfather, Joseph Williams Whatley, said we are endowed with
a background of enteel English ancestors, and that the name has been
spelled in various ways before being
shortened to WHATLEY. One of the first rules in genealogy tracing
is to consider ALL spellings of a name. Public recorders and
families have been inconsistent in spelling,
hence the names WHEATLY, WHEATLEY, WHATELEY, WATLEY and WHATLEY and
WHITLEY are all to be examined.

In the name of God, I, John Wheatley, of the Isle of Wight

I give and bequeath one large pewter platter and one heifer two years

It is my wish that it any of my three sons die before they come to
possess and enjoy the land before bequeathed and given, or die
without issue, that the said land be equally divided
between the surviving sons and their heirs. And for the rest of my
estate that I shall possess at the time of my death, I wholly give
unto my wedded WIFE, ANN WHATLEY, whom I make my whole and sole
executrix. In witness thereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal

======================================================

SHIRLEY WHATLEY'S FATHER

As to the name of Shirley Whatley's father, I can only point to the
research of others. Mr. George Fields Whatley, 1937 Woodbridge Dr.,
Pensacola, Fla. 32514, has spent much time and money on this subject.
His researchers believe the name to be SAMUEL. His book is well worth
your reading for the Whatley family history given. He also traces the
descendants of his direct ancestor, WHARTON WHATLEY, one of the sons
of Shirley Whatley, Sr. His book is called "The Families of Whatley,
Persons, Roop & Fields"

Some researchers have placed a JOHN WHATLEY as the father of Shirley.
Old letters found have also projected this theory. The name John has
certainly been repeated over and over again down through the
generations. The Will of a John Whatley, is included in this book on
page 3. It was probated in 1671 some 20 years before the estimated
birth of Shirley Whatley. This John Whatley had sons JOHN, THOMAS,
and WILLIAM. It is possible that future researchers may be able to
connect us via one of these sons? Another point of interest in this
Will is the name of JOHN BURWELL, a witness. The name Burwell is used
still for the descendants of Shirley Whatley, especially throughout
the ORNAN WHATLEY line. The Burwells must have a family connection in
some way.

SONS OF SHIRLEY WHATLEY

While I have attempted to trace the descendants of Shirley Whatley's
son ORNAN WHATLEY specifically in this book, I have a deep interest in
the descendants of all of his sons. I have copies of the Wills of the
following sons of Shirley Whatley: WILLIS WHATLEY, WHARTON WHATLEY,
MICHAEL WHATLEY, ORNAN WHATLEY, and a JOHN WHATLEY. There are many
John Whatleys listed over the years, so I continue to search for the
John who was the son of Shirley Whatley.

I do not have the Wills of the these sons of Shirley Whatley's sons,
ie. SHIRLEY JR., WILLIAM, WILSON, and JOHN, although he is known to
have had sons by these names. They are found listed as such on the
Granville Tax list and on Military lists. Under early Virginia law,
neither the eldest son (nor the widow) need to be named in a Will, as
their inheritance was set by law.
This may account for Shirley Jr.'s name not appearing in the Will of
Shirley Whatley, as he was likely the eldest son. William and Wilson
had been killed by Indians in 1777, according
to the history of the period, the year before the Will was written in
1778. Wilson's name is only mentioned in the Will when Shirley makes
provision for money to prove the title to lands surveyed by "my son
Wilson Whatley" for the benefit of "daughter-in-law Mary and her
children". (Wilson married Mary Duke. Reference: Fields Whatley, his
page 26). John is not
listed in the Will of Shirley Whatley, Sr. nor is BENJAMIN, although
both have been listed as older sons, by early researchers.

Two copies of the Will of Shirley Whatley were circulated earlier.
One seemed to be hand copied on narrow ledger paper. Apparently the
original one, from the Dept. of Archives &
History, Raleigh, N. C., is a photostatic copy of an older wide-paper
ledger. This is the copy I have included.

S H I R L E Y W H A T L E Y (GEN.I)

SHIRLEY WHATLEY, and wife, REBECCA WHATLEY of St. Martin's
Parish, Hanover County, Virginia deeded several plots of land owned
by them to buyers on June 4, 1734. It seems very likely that such a
sale of property preceded a move to another location. These
transactions are listed as follows:

Records of Hanover County, Virginia: "The Small Book, 1734-5" 21 W (1)
52-53

1734-June 4, Shirley Whatley and Rebecca Whatley of St. Martin's to
Wm. Hicks, 100 acres adjoining Saml. Reynolds, Capt. Issac
Winston and John Wright, Witness Abram Cook.

1734- June 4, Shirley Whatley and Rebecca Whatley, 100 acres to
John Cooper.
1734- June 4, Shirley Whatley and Rebecca Whatley to John Gowin
1734- June 5, Shirley Whatley to Richmond Terrell of Blissland
Parish, New Kent.
In 1749 records of Orange County, Virginia, indicate that Shirley
Whatley was there, together with Michael Whatley.
Later, in Granville County, North Carolina, we find Shirley Whatley
and Shirley Whatley, Junr. in the Militia, on the Muster Roll of
the Regiment under the Command of Col. William Eaton, on October 8,
1754, and in Capt. Sugan Jones' Company:

Shirley Whatley of the County of Bute and Province of North

original of which is in the Archives in Raleigh, N. C.
under the listing "Bute County Records, Wills and Inventories
1766-1800", page 43, Vol. III. His Will was proven in the February
Court in 1783. (See Page 9) The following were listed in this
Will:Willis; ORNAN; Wharton; Mary, daughter-in-law; Wilson (who had
surveyed lands); Michael; and "to all each and every of the rest of

================================
Whatleys Migrate South

From references to early Whatleys in American records, we observe
the important role they played in settling this New World, beginning
in Virginia, and going next into North Carolina
and South Carolina as the frontier pushed on. The main tide of
migration from Virginia through the Carolinas to Georgia did not set
in until 1752. We find the names of our ancestors in this group,
surveying land, often opposed by hostile Indians, then owning
substantial tracts of land and making their homes in these new areas.
At a later date members of these families are found also in
the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, South Carolina and
Texas.

The story of the lives of these early Whatleys settling the new
country is a colorful one. They are found on the rolls of all the
early wars: the Revolutionary, the French and Indian Wars, the
War of 1812, and the War Between the States. Our Whatley ancestors
founded schools and colleges and built churches and homes as they
made their way across
the new lands of America.

The following miscellaneous references concerned kinsmen and/or
ancestors give a picture of the civic participation of our Whatleys
in their migration through the South:

"Georgia's Roster of the Revolution" lists a number of Whatleys among
who were Wilson, William, Samuel, Michael, etc.

"William Whatley came to Georgia from North Carolina in 1776 with
his wife and tour children. Soon after his arrival, William and his
brother Wilson were killed by Indians at Cherokee Corner while
surveying land." Reference: 'History of Georgia" (Note: This Wilson
Whatley was an uncle of our direct ancestor Wilson).

"Listed as having served under Col. Elijah Clarke in Georgia Troops
were the following: Samuel and Oman Whatley, Stephen Heard."

"From the Department of Archives, Washington, D.C.: Service Record
of a Wilson Whatley:Ensign on rolls of Capt. Geo.Butler's Co. of
Col. Wm. Drayton's 18th Regiment, U.S. Infantry,
from October 20, 1813 to July 15,1814. Also July 9 to October 20,
1813. Resigned and referred to War Office for final settlement."

"A Wilson Whatley was stationed at Ft. Johnson and Charleston
Harbor, South Carolina and paid on personal voucher for service
from July 9, 1812 to April 30, 1814."

"Our Wilson Whatley served as Justice of Peace, Morgan Co., Ga.
18O9-13, and served as Justice of Interior Court, 1813-1817."
