Good evening Margaret I read your query dated 11/21/98 in which you listed Generation 1 of your Whitaker family. I do not know if I am connected to you or not but would like to ask a couple of questions. You listed a HUDSON WHITAKER and his son SAMUEL WHITAKER who married Margaret Young. I have a Young Hudson who married a Whitaker in Surry Co NC. According to his Civil War application Young Hudson was born in Halifax Co. in 1809. The copy I received was very faint and I could not determine if it was VA or NC., however, his grandson, Robert, went to Halifax Co NC when his mother died in 1886 when he was 7 years of age. I have been unable to determine who he stayed with at that time. My questions are: Are the Halifax Co WHITAKERs associated with the Surry Co WHITAKERs? Do you know where the Hudson came from in the name of Hudson Whitaker? TIA Bea Hudson
