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.
