Biography

Laney was a daughter of. Dempsey Whiddon and his wife, Martha Rhoda Barwick Whiddon, who lived much of their lives in Montgomery and Washington counties, GA. Together, they formed a church in 1824 called Sister's Meeting House in Sandersonville, GA.

The names of many of Laney's siblings, incuding Hampton, Green, Jared Irwin, and Rhoda Ann, were passed along through the Gandy family.

Some researchers show a middle name of Elizabeth for Laney Whiddon, but I have not been able to confirm that she had a middle name.
