Census*1 June 1870, White, Pike Co., AR, age 54, farmer, R$200, P$300. Two of his step-children live in the household. They seem to have taken the "Whisenhunt" surname as there own. 
Note*Author's note: I was unable to find Adam Jr. in the 1830 Carroll Co., GA census. There were no males in the 15 to 19 year old age group in his father's household in the 1830 census. All other males are accounted for in the family in 1830.

  2. [S416] Buck Wolfenbarger, "Buck Wolfenbarger note," e-mail to Raymond C. Whisnant, 29 Jun 2004, I don't believe that this Bailey was Ples Adam's son, but may have been an Indian that worked for him. It has been passed on in our family "Wolfenbarger" that Margaret Whisenhunt was 3/4 Cherokee Indian. I have seen that there is a lot of Indian blood in the Whisenhunt family and that much of that probably came in with the "Bell" family. However, it is usually not more than 1/4 Cherokee. I believe this may be true because Bailey is never found on a census anywhere until 1870 and could have been given the name "Whisenhunt" to protect him from being removed to Oklahoma at that time.
