    In December 1817 when the White Oak Flats Baptist Church was formed as an arm of the Fork of Little Pigeon Baptist Church in Sevierville, William Whaley and his wife were listed as charter members.

    At the July 1833 meeting of the Church, William M. Whaley said, "he had been led to think it (is) his duty to Execrcise a public gift where upon the Church grants to him the privileges of Exercising where in the County as duty may call him". At this meeting William M. Whaley was ordained as moderator.

    It is not known just when William M. and Mary Ann Ogle Whaley moved to Big Greenbrier, Sevier County, Tennessee (now part of Great Smoky Mountain National Park), but they were well settled between 1830 and 1840.
