Notes for Elisha WHITLEY

Some descendants believe Elisha had a total of 12 children.

Residences & events:

1820 Bond Co, IL. At census time his household consisted of himself,under 21 years of age, and 2 females, his wife and new baby daughter..

6/15/1829 Morgan Co, IL, was his residence when he bought 80 acres,in the same county, for $1.25/acre at a Federal sale. The land waslocated at S36 T16N R12W.

1830 Morgan Co, IL, was still his residence at census time. Therewas also a Samuel Whitley in the same county.

1830 Coles Co, IL. He had moved by census time and was living downthe road from daughter, Bashie Hoots. In his family were 1 femaleunder 5, 2 females 15-20, 1 female 30-40 (his wife), 2 males 5-10 and2 males 10-15. Apparently either the census taker or the transcriberforgot to record Elisha's age, as he would have been too old to havebeen in either of the previous age groups.

3/5/1832 He bought another 80 acres, again at Federal sale for$1.25/acre, described as S2 T15N R12W, same county.

7/20/1836 Coles Co, IL. He had already moved to this county when hebought 80 acres there at S34 T14N R07E. The purchase price was still$1.25/acre at Federal sale.

4/18/1837 Elisha acquired another 40 acre plot at S3 T13N R07E for$1.25/acre from another Federal sale. He was still a resident of thecounty.

1840 Coles Co, IL. He was the only Whitley living in the county andhis household consisted of 1 male under 5, 2 males 15-20, and himselfat 30-40, 2 females 5-10 and 2 females 10-15. None of the femaleslisted were old enough to be his wife. Her whereabouts at that timeis unknown.
