Hi Linda, I have always relied on you for Whitaker information! As you know, Jared Irwin Whitaker was very prominent in Atlanta, a judge, at one time the mayor, and founder of what eventually became the Atlanta Constitution. Accordingly, his life was profiled to some extent in various Atlanta histories. One of those histories suggests he married Nannie Evaline Allen, after Susan Mabry Taliaferro Whitaker's death. As you have it, Susan was buried next to their son Taliaferro Whitaker. Taliaferro was but a small child when he died. I have his dates if you need them. I do not have any dates for Nannie E. Allen, nor the names of their children. As you may recall, I am not a Whitaker myself, but interested because of their tie to the Fayette County Gay folks. I'm not a Gay either, but that's a long story. As always, my best, Bob J. At 08:44 PM 8/30/2009, Linda Barton wrote: >John I. Whitaker D 9/10 [1872] >of Fayette Co. >Bro. of Judge Jared I.
