MadehlinneAre ye sure we're NOT related? ;)
One of my father's lines branches out into CASEY CO., KY. My great-grandmother, ELIZABETH WHELAN, was married twice.
Her first marriage was to a DUDLEY WINSTON WHEAT, born about 1860 in Casey Co., KY, the son of JOSEPH WILLIAM WHEAT and NANCY STAPP. They were married in St. Louis in 1890 and they had one child, a son, Charles, born in 1892.
Dudley died in 1893, although I've searched HIGH and low for the place of his death both in Missouri, Kentucky, etc. He's buried in the cemetery in Liberty Twp., Casey County.
After Dudley died, Elizabeth remarried to JOHN HENRY POWDERLY in 1895. Elizabeth and John had three children: Neva, my grandmother, and twins who died in infancy.
Sma world!!!
