Have a death record (Bk 27, page 321) for a Lillie E. VASSO WHITAKER, widow of Onan WHITAKER. She was b. 4-4-1868 in Surry County and d. 4-25-1941 in Siloam and is buried at Siloam Baptist Church. Shows her parents as Lillie E. VASO and Lucinda WHITAKER. I have no clue as to who these WHITAKER names are or who they are connected to, but the name VASSO is odd for Surry County. Might be an Italian name since some early stone cutters at the granite quarry in Mt. Airy were from Italy. One name is FOPEANA (Fo Pee Ah Na) and they are connected to my RING lines. Would appreciate any information on the VASSO and WHITAKER connection. Bob Carter Greensboro, NC

Bob, Lillie Whitaker was the widow of Aaron Whitaker, not Onan Whitaker.I live within a mile of Siloam Baptist Church and will look at the monument if you would like for verification.

Bob, this is what I found out from monument and I have been researching the Whitakers for a couple months now. Lillie Evans Whitaker born-4-4-1868 died 4-24-1941. Aaron Whitaker born-Jan.9-1852 died-Feb. 16-1919. Sam Aaron Whitaker born 1906- died Nov. 6-1980. This is their son. In the 1910 census. Aaron and Lillie are listed with this (Cushey)family. I will check with the Whitaker family on this name(Cushey) Could not come up with anything on Vasso. the closest I could get was Cisso and Viola Cushey living with this family. Surry Co. 1910 Jennie W. cushey 50 Christina E. cushey 47 Earnest Cushey 18 Sidney F. cushey 16 Cisso cushey 12 Viola Cushey 10 Jessie M.

Lanlindy evans 50 There is also a C. Asbury Whitaker buried beside of them. Aug. 29,1887 July 19, 1958 When I find out more I will keep you posted. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Carter" <gravehunter@triad.rr.com> To: <ncsurry@rootsweb.com>; "NCForsyth" <NCFORSYT@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 9:18 PM Subject: [NCSURRY] VASSO and WHITAKER surnames > Have a death record (Bk 27, page 321) for a Lillie E.
