2. Rev. Thomas "Tom" Whiteley (Joseph ) was born in 1776 in Guilford Co., NC. He died on 15 Jul 1834 in Clay Co., IL. He was buried in Clay Co., IL.

Tom married Winifred Van Hook, daughter of Samuel Van Hook and Hannah Higgins, about 1802 in Russell Co., VA. Winifred was born on 16 May 1781 in Russell Co., VA. She died in 1827.

Thomas Whiteley, the first child of Joseph and Sarah Stapleton Whiteley, was born about 1776 in North Carolina. He was born at the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, and for the next six years of his young life, he knew only the unsettled existence of a family caught up in the midst of war. He no doubt experienced hunger and strife, which were the conditions of the times. His father, Joseph Whiteley, had already enlisted in the North Carolina Militia and had been called for services with the New Bern Battalion of Minute Men on February 26, 1776. By the year 1786, Thomas Whiteley, then about ten years of age, moved with his parents into Russell County, Virginia (created from Washington). In about 1802 Thomas, now age 26, married Winifred Van Hook, the daughter of Samuel Van Hook, of Russell County, Virginia. In 1810 Thomas and Winifred Whiteley, with six of their eleven children, moved into Pulaski County, Kentucky. Here, he became a minister of the gospel. Three of his sons, Amos Martin, John A., and Thomas S., and one son-in-law, Cyrus Wright, also afterward became ministers of the same faith. Winifred, his wife, died in Washington County, Indiana, and in 1827 Elder Thomas Whiteley moved to Clay County, Illinois. In a short time, four churches were established, Fox Prairie, Salem, Crooked Creek, and Skillet Fork (also Liberty, in Marion County, and Four Mile Prairie, in Fayette County), which he served as pastor. In November 1829, Elder Thomas Whiteley married again, to Kesiah Bishop, widow of John Bishop, the ceremony being performed by Elder John Miller. Elder Thomas Whiteley died July 15, 1834, and was buried on his Clay county farm. (Info from The Primitive Baptist Library of Carthage, Illinois)
