Samuel Whatley

About the year 1776, William Whatley, the father of the subject of
these brief memoirs, removed from North Carolina, and settled in
Wilkes County, Georgia, having a wife and four children, of whom
Samuel was the oldest. Soon after their arrival in this State, his
father and his uncle, Wilson Whatley, were killed by Indians at the
Cherokee Corner, whilst engaged in surveying land. The care of his
widowed mother and her orphan children devolved upon Samuel, who, at
the tender age of fourteen, had to act the fourfold part of father,
brother, son and soldier. He was well grown for one of his years,
and the death of his father and uncle roused a spirit within him which
prompted him at once to volunteer in his country's service, against
the combined forces of the British and Indians. He accordingly
served successfully under Clark, Dooly, Williamson and other
revolutionary patriots. Did it comport with the design of this work,
we might entertain the reader with many thrilling incidents of his
history as a youthful soldier. We must confine ourselves, however,
to only one or two.

On one occasion, while connected with a company of mounted infantry,
he was required to march in silence about twenty-five miles, during a
freezing winter night. Being thinly clad, he was quite overcome by
the cold, and at the end of the trip, was taken from his horse in a
speechless state. It was with much difficulty, and after he had
suffered unspeakable anguish, that he was restored to consciousness
He was in the battle at the seige of Augusta, when the Whigs were
defeated, and with others made his escape by swimming the Savannah
river, opposite the city. He was barely able to reach the bank, and
must have perished but that he was pulled out by his fellow soldiers.
Almost destitute of clothing, he became separated from his
companions, and spent the night in a tree-top alone. Next morning he
fell in with a herd of swine, which he followed to the main road. To
his great joy, his own captain soon came along, took him up on his
horse, and carried him safely to camp. Some few months afterwards,
he was wounded and taken prisoner in the battle of Long-Cane, South
Carolina, while under the command of Colonel Williamson. His left
arm was broken by a musket ball. In this situation, he was taken by
the Tories, who made one or two attempts to hang him; but failing,
for want of a suitable rope, they delivered him to the British at
Ninety-Six. His wound was not dressed until the third day after it
was inflicted. From the effects of this wound, he never entirely
recovered, and was a pensioner of the government on account of it.
He amused the British officers by singing "Liberty Songs" for them,
which he was very fond of doing, and of which he knew a great many.
The night before he was taken by the Tories, he lay out in the woods,
and while suffering excruciating pain from his broken arm, he was
attacked by three wolves, from which he narrowly escaped with his
life. The next morning, driven by hunger to the residence of a widow,
he was discovered and taken by the tories, as above stated.

How long this imprisonment continued is not known. But soon after his
release, he returned to his mother in Wilkes County, where he went to
school a few months. During the remainder of the war, he was
frequently engaged in short excursions against the enemy; but was no
more connected with the regular army.

He finally married Miss Catherine Anglin, and settled in Wilkes County
on a tract of land which he took up on head rights, and where he
raised a large family, having cultivated it upwards of forty years.
His wife is no more, and though she never made a public profession of
religion, is believed by her friends to have been a lover of Jesus
Christ. Soon after his marriage and settlement, many of his
relatives from North Carolina and Virginia removed and located in his
immediate neighborhood, and as they were all agreed in politics and
kind in their feelings towards each other, Mr. whatley considered
himself a happy man. This happiness, however, was of short duration,
for Silas Mercer, that faithful servant of the Lord, was his nearest
neighbor, and did not cease to warn him of his guilt and danger as a
sinner against God. These warnings were not in vain, for his eyes
being opened to a discovery of his lost condition be betook himself to
repentance and prayer day and night. His convictions and troubles
continued many days. When, at length, the Lord was pleased to meet
with him in mercy in a forest, where he was accustomed to retire for
prayer, his joy such as to prompt him to arise and repair to his
wife, to whom he communicated the glad tidings, Next, he went to
Silas Mercer, and informed him "what great things the lord had done
for his soul." Within a few months after his conversion, he was
baptized by the said Mercer, and joined Phillips's Mill Church, of
which he continued and exemplary member the remainder of his life, a
period of about fourty years.

He soon became an active and prominent member of the church. But how
long he enjoyed this relation, before he commenced his public
ministration of the Word, is not known. Owing to his limited
circumstance, his labors were mostly confined to the regions
contiguous to him. Though given to many eccentricities, he was a man
of good natural parts, and of a noble and generous nature. His
person was tall and commanding, being six feet and nearly four inches
in height, and weighing upwards of two hundred pounds.

Upon the decease of Silas Mercer, the friendship of Mr. Whatley was
transferred to Jesse Mercer, his son. This distinguished man ever
entertained much respect and sincere regard for Mr. Whatley. In like
manner was he held in high esteem even by men who did not fear God.
At the house of an unbeliever, he was invited and accustomed to hold
religious meetings. Another wicked man declared his intention to make
a present of a negro, "because" as he said, "Mr. Whatley was the best
man in Wilkes County." Having died without fulfilling his design,
his widow subsequently made him a deed to a likely negro boy.

His decease took place in October, 1820, in the sixty-fifth year of
his age, in the early part of the session of the Georgia Association,
of which he had been so long a member. A funeral discourse was
preached before that body by his intimate friend and brother, Jesse
Mercer. The same individual continued to preach similar discourses,
in memory of Mr. Whatley, for several weeks in the churches most
acquainted with his character, and which had mainly enjoyed the
advantages of his labors as an evangelist. After having been once
almost drowned, twice frozen, twice shot, and hung once, he survived
to enjoy the blessings of liberty to good old age, and then to die in
peace and hope upon his own bed, at home, and in the midst of kindred
and friends.

WASHINGTON CHRONICLE, February 26, 1890

REV. MR. WHATLEY AND THE TORY

I was very much interested in Miss Eliza Bowen's history of old
Phillips church. I remember going there with my mother who sometimes
walked, as we lived near. On one occasion after crossing the bridge
over Little River, she sent me with a pitcher to the spring which was
but a few rods from the road. I shall never forget my surprise at
seeing the water rushing from the big hill through a wooden spout. I
remember Mr. Stokes, but have no recollection of Mr. Mercer, both of
whom preached there. Then there was Mr. Whatley who exhorted, and
sometimes preached when there was no other minister present. He was
not educated, but was a good man and had the confidence of his
neighbors, who helped him at times with their gifts, as he was poor.
He was very patriotic during the revolution and his zeal sometimes
led him to say and do things which brought upon the displeasure of
the tories, who seized and carried him to the Indian nation and
threatened to kill him if he returned. For months he wandered about
hiding from the Indians, and finally made his way home where he
secreted himself till the war ended. After peace was declared, during
a revival at Phillips, one of the tories became very much concerned
and asked Whatley who was exhorting down the aisle to pray for him.
He told him he could not do it. "Why," said the tory? "I have not
forgotten the time you drove me into the Indian country where I came
near dying from hunger and cold." "But," said the tory, "you ought to
forgive, I want you to pray for me." Whatley relented a little and
said, "hold on, maybe I can do something for you. "Going to Mr.
Mercer, who was in the pulpit, he told him there was a tory there
who wanted him to pray for him, but under the circumstances he did
not feel willing to undertake it, "and now," said he, "Brother
Mercer, can you do anything for him?" "Yes," said Mr. Mercer, "bring
him here and I will pray for him." It was possible for a tory to be
saved, but some of those who suffered at
their hands did not think so.

REVOLUTIONARY PENSION APPLICATION #W6492,

National Archives, Washington, D. C. See also BOUNTY LAND WARRANT
40901-160-55.

Samuel Whatley was first pensioned for wounds by the State of Georgia
and was paid by then until transferred to the federal pension rolls
under the act of 1816. Whatley was wounded in battle at Long Cane,
S.C. December 10, 1781 and loss the use of his left arm. He was
first pensioned in 1786 and was examined then by James Lander,
Inspector of Invalids for Georgia. Whatley was serving under Capt.
Macajah Williamson in a company of Mounted Militia under Col. Elijah
Clarke, and had lived in Wilkes County the past 47 years, and
earlier in Bute County, North Carolina according to deposition
signed March 10, 1824 The widow Mrs. Catherine Whatley obtained a
pension, and later bounty land in right of her late husband's
service. Her letter to R.W. Habersham, Georgia's Senator disclosed:
about the time of the revolution her father James Anglin moved from
North Carolina to Georgia and settled near Washington, Ga., bringing
with him 7 sons and Catherine "a motherless daughter about 13 years
old." Her brothers were all older than she. Her father was a
native of Ireland. The Anglins had lived in Wilkes County for five or
six years when she married Samuel Whatley, a boy about her age, whose
father had been killed by Indians at the Cherokee Corner [now corner
of Clarke and Oglethorpe Cos.] when Samuel was only 14, the eldest of
a family of children. During the Revolution young Samuel Whatley
served as needed under Elijah Clarke, and was in the seige of
Augusta. He was serving under Clarke when he was shot in the left
arm. Catherine and Samuel were betrothed before he left on the South
Carolina campaign, and when he returned home with his wounds still
fresh and "all over" they were married before "Old squire Biddle of

Wilkes on his return. [Absalom Beddell] She had lived for 45 years
after her marriage in Wilkes County, and moved to Pike County, Ga.
after Samuel's death to the plantation of her son James Whatley,
where she had resided for the past 9 or 10 years. She had five sons
in 1842 "still alive and Georgia citizens." She married to Samuel
whatley in Wilkes County in 1781 or 1782 but records will be hard to
obtain "all witness dead except one, alive 15 years ago, and have
not heard from since," she added. In 1842 she was 80 years old, having
lived in Georgia 67 years, in Wilkes County 55 and in Pike County 9
years. Samuel whatley died "the first Monday in October 1826. See
Sherwoods gazetteer or his tombstone in Wilkes County." She tells of
Whatley's loyalty to the "Whig" cause. "Before he reached maturity he
was twice frozen, once perished & drowned, once hung and twice shot
for his unflinching zeal in the defense of Liberty and American
Independence." Catherine Whatley could be reached by mail through her
son, who lived at Midway Post Office, Jones County, Georgia.

Henry Anglin, senior, who served with Whatley under Micajah
Williamson, testified that Whatley was wounded at the Long Canes in
South Carolina, and was taken prisoner by the British. He was by them
kept in prison for four or five months and came home with wounds all
over. A. Beddell, Justice of the Peace, performed the marriage
ceremony for Catharine and Samuel Whatley he testified. His
deposition was sworn Feb. 13, 1844 in Jackson County, Ga. Catherine
Whatley lived to be more than 96 years of age.

Hi,

My great great great grandparents are on your site listed as Elizabeth
Whatley and Martin Peebles Sparks. I have a good deal of information on
more descendants which I would like to share. My sources are as follows:

The Sparks Quarterly Mar 1958 pgs 271-280
Jun 1958 pgs 308-314
Mar 1959 pgs 360-366
plus my family bibles.

I will begin with corrections to what you already have posted:

Elizabeth Whatley died 4 (not 14) Sep 1870 in Athens GA. She is buried
in Cedar Valley GA on The Sparks Plantation.

Martin Peeples (not Peebles) Sparks died in Paulding, now Polk, Co GA.
He is buried next to his wife in Cedar Valley GA on The Sparks
Plantation.

The 3 children you list are correct. My additions begin with their 2nd
child:

Death was in Clark Co ARK. He is buried in the Bozeman Cemetary
near Arkadelphia ARK.
Family 1: Mary (not Martha) Ann Leonard

The 3 children you list are correct, however the full name of the
1st child is Martha A.M.E.T. Sparks.
Famly 2: Ann Linton

They had 11 children. The 3 you list are correct. Here are the rest:
4. William Daniel Sparks
5. Carter Whatley Sparks
6. Samuel Peeples Sparks

(parents were married 12 Jun 1779 Charlotte VA. They also had 2

or anything else about them.

If you are interested in all of this, I can write you again with all I
know of the 14 children of Thomas Hunter Sparks Sr by his 2 wives - and
the branches that go off from those children. It is a big project I will
have to do in batches...
