That's interesting, because in the marriage record for Sophina Jane and Lewis Whittaker she is listed as single with the surname of "Funk." What is your source for the first spouse?

They had a son named Stephen Dennis Laffoon. You will find Sophina, her son Stephen Lafoon with her current husband, Lewis Lee Whitaker, in the 1870 Grayson County Census. Lewis & Sophia are Doll Johnson Whitaker's parents. -----Original Message----- >From: Pam Ingermanson <pam438@earthlink.net> >Sent: Aug 8, 2006 12:55 PM >To: VAGRAYSO-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [VAGRAYSO] Whitaker > >Sue Dotson wrote: > >>Pam, >> >>I don't know if this Dollie is the same person you are looking for, but I have a Dollie Whitaker b. abt. 1881 Grayson who was md.
