WHALLEY, hw611, Edward, English resekidet It England. about 1616; d. Hadley. Mass., about 1675 He was in trade, probably that of woolen-draper, at the outbreak of the Civil War, when he enlisted for Parliament. In 1643 he became major in Cromwell's regiment of horse and in 1644 after having fought at Gainsborough and Marston Moor, appears as a lieutenant-colonel. He was made colonel of one of the two parts into which Cromwell's regiment was divided and with this force took Banbury and Worcester. Later, he was super seded. After Charles I was seized, Whalley was ordered to take charge of the king and in that post displayed much tact. He sat for Nottinghamshire in the two parliaments as sembled by Cromwell, and in 1657 was made a member of the new House of Lords. He went to Scotland as agent of the army to mediate with General Monk, but had no success. On the Restoration he did not obey the summons of surrender of the king's judges and was therefore excluded from the indemnity. He
sailed with William Goffe (q.v.) for New Eng. land, arrived at Boston 27 July 1660, resided for a time in Cambridge, but when the act of indemnity reached Boston in November and the town council met (February 1661) to consult regarding the refugees, went with Goffe to New Haven, where they arrived 7 March. He was associated with Goffe in the subsequent wander ings and concealments which have lent such interest to their history. Consult Stiles, 'His tory of Three of the Judges of Charles P (1794) ; Noble, 'Lives of the Regicides' (1798); Hutchinson, 'History of Massachu setts' (3d ed. 1795); and the 'Collections' of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 3d ser. I 60, 4th ser. VIII 122. Mrs. H. M. Lothrop's romance 'The Judges' Cave' (1901) is founded on incidents in the New England career of Goffe and Whalley.
