Hello Amanda, in trying to find my Whelans in Kentucky, a researcher sent me a copy of a deed dated 1869 states a John (this is hard to read) Crutchen of the county of Meade of the state fo Kentucky of the first part and Kendrick Whelan of Hardin Co. and state of Kentucky of the second part.....Anyway if you don't have this I can send the copy to you as I don't think it applies to my family.If you run across a John and Anna Farmer Whelan from Mountmellick, Laois Co. Ireland in your family please let me know.There were a lot of Whelans in the area and I'm of a mind my folks went there to be with family. John and Anna had 5 children. Joseph, Ellen, Sarah, Edward and Anne. All born between 1835 and 1848 in Ireland.Don't know when they came to US. Colleen Rowe
