1880Comanche Co., TXage 60, md., farmer
Name Variation As of 1 June 1850, Samuel E. Whisenant was also known as Whisenhunt recorded name on census report. Actually it was "Whissenhunt". I interpret this to be Whisenhunt.2 
NoteHe served in the Union Army, from 12 Dec 1862 until May 1865, in Company E., 64th Illinois Volunteers. He enlisted at Glendale, MS. Pension #150351. 
Note*Here's some ideas I have on this family:
Samuel's wife Mary Elizabeth Wilson died before 1860. She is not in the census report.
In 1870 living in the same household is:

Timmons, Elizabeth, age 40, born TN
Timmons, Joseph, age 11, born AL
Timmons, Eliza, age 9, born AL
Timmons, Mollie, age 3, born AL
Timmons, Jane, age 1, born AL

I think Samuel married Elizabeth Timmons, widow. I blieve it's just a coincidence that Elizabeth Wilson and Elizabeth Timmons were both born in TN around the same time.

The Elizabeth Whisenant who died 13 Feb 1898 is probably Elizabeth Timmons. The birth date on the headstone says 1831 for the birth. Elizabeth Timmons listed her age as 40 in 1870. Elizabeth Wilson listed her age as 22 in 1850.

Did not find Mollie Grant Whisenant, age 3, in the 1870 census. Did find Mollie Timmons, age 3. I think Mollie Whisenant and Mollie Timmons are the same person.

Did not find Manerva A. Whisenant, age 1, in the 1870 census. Did find Jane Timmons, age 1. I think Manerva and Jane are the same person.

Mary E. Whisenant, b.c. 1851, I don't know where she is in 1870.

James Henry Whisenant, b.c. 1855. He is un-accounted for in 1870.

Eliza Timmons, is in the household in 1880, listed as step-daughter to Samuel Whisenant.

Lela Whisnant

ID# 1695, b. April 1920, d. 28 May 1924
Father*Jefferson Bartow Whisnant b. Sep 1861, d. 1 Aug 1924
Mother*Loucinda Elizabeth Sargent b. Jul 1880, d. 2 Mar 1961
Birth*Lela Whisnant was born in April 1920; Note: The death certificate was very hard to read. The certificate listed her age as 4 years old. (The age was clearly written.) Her date of birth was listed as "April 1919". She is definitely not listed in the household in the 1920 census which was taken on 1 Jan 1920. Therefore, I imagine that she was actually born in April 1920.1 
Death*She died on 28 May 1924 in Banks Co., GA, at age 4.1 
Burial*She was buried in Grove Level Ch. Cem., Mayville, Banks Co., GA, 34.28330,-83.52080.1
