Larry,
I have information on the first wife of John Calhoun Whaley: Fredonia Womack.She was the Jacob Womack and Lucy Lovell. Jacob was the son of Larkin Womack and Frances Basye. Lucy was the daughter of Benoni (or Benjamin) Lovell and Mary F. Binion.
On the 1870 Panola Co., TX Census Page 0347, I found John Calhoun Whaley (although he is listed as W. C.) and Frances (Fannie) Jordan. John is 44 and born in SC. Frances is 24 and born in TN. The children listed are: John, age 10, son of John Calhoun and Fredonia Womack; and William, age 1. I suspect this Lewis Williams Whaley, b. 1869.
Below the Whaleys are Frances Jordan's parents and siblings: J. A. Jordan, age 54, born in GA, wife Martha Jordan, age 53, born NC, Milus (Milas?) Jordan, age 20, born TN, Nancy Jordan, age 18, born TN, Henry Jordan, age 13, born TX, Archey Jordan, age 10, born TX. In some areas, Jordan is pronounced "Jerdan", i. e. Hamilton Jordan of MS, who was in President Jimmy Carter's administration pronounced his name "Jerdan"
Larkin Womack and Frances Basye were my ggggrandparents.
I hope this information helps!
