Florida Keys Sea Heritage Journal $2 Florida Keys Sea Heritage Journal VOL. 17 NO. 2 WINTER 2006/07 USS SHARK OFFICIAL QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE KEY WEST MARITIME HISTORICAL SOCIETY Autobiography of Stephen Moreno Whalton This is the Autobiography of Stephen Moreno Whalton and a narration of events during my early childhood, and the years that followed, all written in response to requests from members of my family and some of my friends. I was born on the 29th day of May in the year of 1872, in a small two-story house which was located on Duval Street on the lot, where Pepe’s Coffee Shop stands now{202 Duval Street}. I think the building where I first saw the light, was moved to the rear of the lot, and still remains, back of the coffee shop. When I was still a baby, my father moved his family into our new house, which he had built on the corner of Duval Street and the Rocky Road, which was later named Division Street and later still, Truman Avenue. The first outstanding event of my life, which I have never forgotten occurred in 1875 when I was just 3 years old. My mother had a white servant, or maid, this maid had a cousin, who was about twelve or thirteen years old, who use to visit her quite often. On this particular day the cousin was at our home, and our servant, discovered that she needed some potatoes, so she told her cousin to Lorena and Stephen M. Whalton.

    $2 Florida Keys Sea Heritage Journal VOL. 20 NO. 2 WINTER 2009 USS SHARK OFFICIAL QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF THE KEY WEST MARITIME HISTORICAL SOCIETY William Beverly Randolph Hackley I first read William Beverly Randolph Hackley’s diary about 25 years ago. Since then I have transcribed all of the Key West part of the diary, the only account of family life in Key West in the 1850s. During the research I have found information about him and his family and met a number of his descendants and found a photograph of one of his daughters Charlotte Hackley Spencer (Sea Heritage Journal, Spring 2009). Now thanks to Jane Jones we have this photograph of William Hackley. The diary was saved by Dr. R. L. “Lee” Goulding son of Harriet Hackley and Frank Ross Goulding, III. Harriet, one of William’s three daughters, was the 2nd wife of Frank. His first wife was her sister Sarah Hackley. To help understand the diary I have been gathering information about Hackley, his family and the people in his diary. William Beverly Randolph Hackley was born to Richard and Harriet Randolph Hackley on October 7, 1806 in Virginia. William Beverly Randolph Hackley. Photo credit: Jane Jones. Richard was a successful and well- traveled merchant, who resided at York. In 1806 he was appointed at that time. Richard had claims to various times in Fredericksburg, US Consul at St. Lucia, Spain, 12 million acres of uncultivated land Norfolk, Richmond, New York, and in 1807 he was appointed US near present day Tampa, Florida.
