Box 9: General Files

 Box — Box: 9, Box: 9
Collection number: 1

Scope and Contents

These few documents are intended to help anyone looking at the collection and the people involved. There is a bio on Tim Whelan's mother and himself. Along with two short family trees that identify most of the main individuals in the collection and their connection to his family. Probably the most important is the document labeled "Nancy Ward Lineage." That one shows the 13 lines that were created by her children and grandchildren (Tim Whelan added some notes on it about his particular lines). His ancestor, Caleb Starr, married into that group of 13 and those families are still very active in Georgia and Oklahoma and may find some of this material of interest. There were many wings of the Starr family, as well. He also added his mother's short autobiography, which mirrors a bit that other autobiography by another woman in the family from the late 1800s.
