    3. Help please.... Richard Whitaker 1782 - 1844, of Wilkinson County married a second time. His will dated 1842 and probated in 1844 says his wife is Margaret Whitaker. I've seen where his second wife was Catherine "Katy" Thompson. I can't find a Marriage record on-line or in the Wilkinson County history book. Since his first wife Nancy Pace Whitaker died Jan 2 1837 the marriage would have taken place between that day and Sep 27, 1842 the date of the will. I've been told by a family member that his second wife was a nurse to his wife Nancy and he married her the day Nancy died. Also that the second wife's name was Margaret Catherine "Katy" Thompson. In the 1850 Census Baldwin County Margaret Whitaker, 52 Sarah B. Thompkins, 32 Mary Thompkins, 15, David Thompkins, 12 William Thompkins, 9 David Thompkins is in the 1860 census of Baldwin County in the Salem District. Can someone shed a light on this? I will be putting Richard Whitaker's will on my website soon.
