Nechrology.
Another land-mark has passed away with the death of Mrs. Sarah J. Whatley, aged fifty-eight years.
Mrs. Whatley died near Poland, in Rapides Parish, on Oct. 8th, 1898. Deceased was born and raised near Bayou Chicot, where her entire life was spent except the current year. She leaves a large family and a larger circle of friends to mourn her demise.
Her life was a succession of good deeds. Charity in its largest sense was her daily practice; and in the hereafter her good deeds here will redound to her happiness over there. May the sod of the valley rest light o're her breast. Farewell.
A FRIEND.
Bayou Chicot, La.,
Oct. 15, 1898.
NOTE: This obituary printed after her death indicates she was 58 years old which would make her birth year 1840.

Sarah married Willis Elijah S. WHATLEY Sr. [MRIN: 258] on 11 Oct 1859 in Bayou Chicot, Evangeline Parish, Louisiana.

Another name for Willis was Willis WHATLEY Sr.
General Notes: Notes from Gordon Whatley
He may have had a twin brother named Elijah born on 10/12/1824
Willis Whatley was my grandfather. I have been told that Elijah Whatley had a duel with his brother-in-law. Elijah though that he had killed him, so he fled and finally settled at Chicot. We think he changed his name to Willis but Ann Walton Lane and (Teeny) Edna Carbo Rabalais have each struck a knot in tracing the genealogy of Willis Whatley. Teeny told me that she thought that Elijah and Willis are the same person, but they have not, as far as I know, been able to get it verified. Anyway, Grandpa's brother-in-law did not die, but I am sure he wa a long time finding it out. Teeny told me that Grandpa was shot in the chest during the dual, but although the wound healed, the bullet was still lodged in his chest. He hemmoraged from his mouth and died. I had been told that he hemmoraged from T. B., until I was told about the dual, and the outcome. Mama and Papa never told me anything except that Grandpa was the black sheep of the family." I AM ASSUMING THE ABOVE WAS WRITTED BY LAURA WHATLEY COWART.
INFORMATION SOURCE: SARAH JENKINS WHATLEY, WIFE OF JACK WHATLEY
El Duane Whatley lists a Elijah Watley Whatley born in 1824, son of Willis Richard Whatley II and Elizabeth ? his second wife. This relates to the above story of Elijah who may have changed his name to Willis. BW

This is Thomas Jefferson Walker and family in the 1850 Census. It was the only census that Thomas Jefferson appeared in since he was not married until 27 Feb 1841 and died abt 1858. I have a confusing issue in my records where Frances defined another son named James in a debt payment to Sam Haas in 1871. James is not listed in the 1850 census. The 1860 census is not available according to NARA and may have been damaged or lost. The Civil War was just starting and records were not handled very well. He has his own house in the 1870 census. It is possible that Frances was married briefly before 1841 and was widowed when she married Thomas.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A document from the court records at Opelousas states "Tabulation of the estate of Thomas J. Walker and wife, both deceased...." was filed July 7, 1863. This document is written in English.
NOTE - Something is wrong with the 1863 document indicating that Thomas J. Walker's "wife is
deceased". I have tax receipts showing Frances Walker as the payee of taxes as late as 1875 which presents another puzzle. I also have Frances Walker as head of household in 1870 census data.

Thomas J. Walker's succession was not probated until December 15, 1871. The succession is written in French by the administrator Antoine Cart.
The 1863 document for the estate showed several debts, totaling $65.56. The 1871 document showed the same debts, but $27.00 in interest was added for 1863-1871 which brought the total to $92.55. The amount of debt was divided into two amounts of $46.27-1/2 each and both were assigned to Elizabeth Walker.
NOTE - Elizabeth Walker was not in my records as a relative of Thomas J. Walker. The 1871 document specifically indicates that the debt be divided between heirs and survivors by name ("heritiers and survivors by noms"). I found several sentences with mixed French and English.
