Question: Who was Wm. Warwhoop, Whoopis, or Warhop in Whitfield's 27th Cav, Co F?
.
I stumbled onto "Wm. Warwhoop" that reminded me of "Obediah C. Whoopis" and "Ann Whoopis" whose names are on sevearl documents in THE BOURLAND PAPERS.

.
WARWHOOP, William Warwhoop, Private in Whitfield’s 27th Cavalry. Co F. ..CSR states: “William Warwhoop Enlisted March 7, 1862 Clarksville TX by Capt. Edward West. ..Wm. Warwhoop Died July 1, 1862 Columbus, Mississippi ... Name appears in a column of names as 'Wm. Warhop' "
.
one Caroline WARHOP, 18 TX, on 1870 Red River Co TX cen p20...
.
I suspect that "Wm. Warwhoop, Warhop" was the son of Obediah C. and Ann Whoopis. We have searched for this "Obediah C. Whoopis" for years.
.
In 1846 Col James Bourland bought a 2114-acre tract on the Fannin-Lamar County line, then in order to get a clear title, he spent the next eight (8) years in court. ..Fifteen (15) documents address the clear title issue on a 2114-ac tract and shows that he finally won in the 1854 Texas Supreme Court.
.... The reader will appreciate the services of today's title companies.

Enclosed, you will find a affidavit which you have to sign & swear before a county court clerk, or a notary public, & then affidavit must to be filed with the clerk of the Dist. Court & the Judge orders a certificate of issue, which is done by the clerk & approved by the Judge.
.
You will return the affidavit to me as soon as it is signed & sworn to by you and I will get the certificate & send it to you. See Act of Legislature, 1854, p115, late law on this subject.

S.H. Mempam
