Is anyone researching a WHITAKER family in the Licking-Morrow county areas? Thanks to the Ohio death records on line, I now know the surname of my g-g-grandmother, Rachel WHITAKER (If her daughter's death record is correct). She was b in Pa about 1814, died 1870, buried Evans Cemetery. On the BLM site I found a Duncan WHITAKER buying land in the early 1840's in Licking county. This is the same time period as Rachel's husband, Job SMITH, bought his land. But in the 1850 census there are no WHITAKERs in these two counties (Some are in Coshocton). If anyone has the transcriptions for the Evans Cemetery, I would appreciate a look up for anyone named WHITAKER buried there. Thank you.

Hello Janet: I've been doing some family research for the ROGERS family since about August 2004. If we have the right Rachel, then I think perhaps I can help you. Deacon Whitaker/Whittaker/Whitacre was born in Washington Co. PA. He married Rachel Rogers, here in Licking County, Ohio in 1810. We know they had several children, that they lived in the Kirkersville, LC Ohio area. Sometime about 1850 Deacon Whitaker moved to Crawford Co. IL with some of his children. I understand that he died there. We don't know exactly when his wife, Rachel (Rogers) died, but know she was still signing documents for land in late 1847, I think I have. Will dig more information out on that later, once we figure out if we're looking for the right family. You may contact me offline if you'd like at 'ronna8@alltel.net' . IF we're talking the same family, then you possibly qualify for our Bicentennial Pioneer Project, (1808-2008) plus First Families of Licking County, (pre- 1830) Ohio. Ronna Eyman Eagle P.S. To date I've found no Whitakers buried here in LC, but know they may be. They were of Quaker background and some of the earlier Quakers didn't believe in tombstones, so I'm told. It will be interesting to find links in Morrow Co. I already know there are relatives in Fairfield County, Ohio. ----- Original Message ----- From: <halltall@aol.com> To: <ohlickin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 10:18 AM Subject: [OHLICKIN] WHITAKER family > > > > > Is anyone researching a WHITAKER family in the Licking-Morrow county > areas? > > > Thanks to the Ohio death records on line, I now know the surname of my > g-g-grandmother, Rachel WHITAKER > (If her daughter's death record is correct).
