Edgar's name is also listed as George E. Whalen in some US Census records. It's possible that his given name was George Edgar Whalen, but he chose to go by his middle name (Edgar) since his father was also named George.
Edgar's father was the son of David Whalen and Lucy/Sally (née Guiles) Whalen. Edgar's mother was the daughter of Silas Thornton and Susan (née Sager) Thornton.
Edgar's aunt was Dora (née Thornton) Whalen. She was another daughter of Silas and Susan Thornton. She married Jeremiah "Jerry" Whalen (1846-1913). It is currently unclear how Jeremiah was related to Edgar's father, George. It's possible that they might have been cousins?
