Does anyone have the book "Augustus Greenleaf Whitaker and Caroline Hobart" written by Ellis Hobart Whitaker? It is supposed to have information on Throwers as well as Whitakers. My ancestors Merideth Whitaker and Martha Whitaker married 1841 Henry Co., GA. Phyllis Porter [email protected]

Does anyone on this list live near Melrose, MA? Have you ever heard of a Wyoming Cemetery? I have found out that some of my husband's relatives are buried there and would like to visit the cemetery and see the stones. What I'm wondering is...is the cemetery huge? Or just a small old cemetery? It shows on my computer map so it could just be historical or very large. I'm trying to decide if a weekend trip will do it or I'll need more time. If anyone can give me some sort of information on this cemetery, please contact me.

I have just begun researching my husband's side of the family. This is all I know: His Great-grandparent's names are Almander Whitaker and Ora (Banks) Whitaker. He was from KY and she was a Cherokee Indian. After they were married, probably shortly before 1920, they moved to Missouri and possibly Texas before settling in Hazard, KY. They had at least one child: Clarance Leonard Whitaker born 2-15-20. He married Juanita Gill born 3-11-22. They probably married in 1940. Their children include Brenda Joyce (Whitaker) Smith b. 4-29-41 Donald Ray Whitaker b. 12-8-42 (my father-in-law) William Adron Whitaker b. 11-18-? Carol Ann (Whitaker) Kirby b. 7-11-48 I would appreciate any further information that anyone is willing to share.

Hello Sara, I have Ephraim Seward Whitaker's chart made about 1900. It is not however the Rehoboth line, but the line of Jonathan Whitaker b.c. 1690 who went from Massachusetts, to Long Island to Somerset Co. N.J. If I can be of any help please let me know. I would be interested in the correspondence between Ephraim Seward Whitaker and your great uncle. Ephraim Seward Whitaker believed that Jonathan Whitaker was descended from John Whitaker of Watertown Mass, but could not find connecting lines. A descendant, Oscar Vorhees said that Jonathan was born in Wiltshire, England, but we have never been able to find proof of this. Joan Whitaker Landrum -----Original Message----- From: Kenneth L.

However, I would suggest that you check the Vermont Vital Records Index that is available on microfilm at you local Family History Center (i.e. the Mormon Church). These records are indexed by surname so you might have to check all variations of the surnames that you are interested in. Wyn Jonas

I am trying to trace the parents and siblings of JAMES COTTON WHITAKER who may have been born in Oklahoma. He married (about 1906) Vinna Campbell SHACKELFORD in Marion, IL. This may have been his second marriage. They had 4 children—Grace, James, Martha and Mary Josephine. Vinna died 20 June 1919 in Casper, WY. At that time James was working for Midwest Refining Co. Can anyone help here?

Hi Priscilla and fellow WHITAKER Researchers: I was very excited to see your listing on Rootsweb today. Here is the information I have on my paternal 2nd great grand uncle Lewis WHITAKER who was born Abt. 1838 in Coshocton County Ohio (Source: 1850 Census for Bedford, Coshocton County Ohio), and d. on March 7, 1890. An obituary was obtained from Deaths: Coshocton County Ohio 1867-1909 which is an obituary index for that period. This index was compiled by Mrs. Hilda Grace McPherson in 1976. This obituary lists a Lewis WHITAKER as having died on March 7, 1890. A copy of the County Death Record for Coshocton County, Ohio lists a Lewis Whitaker as having died as a result of "suicide while insane." This Lewis Whitaker's place of birth is listed as Bedford Township, Coshocton County Ohio, and his age as 51. Lewis WHITAKER is the fourth son of Rubin Barker WHITAKER (Sr.) b. abt. 1800 in New Jersey. (Source: 1850 Census for Bedford, Coshocton County Ohio), and d. April 11, 1868 in Jefferson Township, Coshocton County, Ohio (Source: Historical Collections of Coshocton County Ohio: A Complete Panorama of the County, From the Time of the Earliest Known Occupants of the Territory Unto the Present Time. By William E. Hunt; Chapter 23, p. 255: "Reuben B. Whittaker, for more than forty years a resident ot Coshocton County, died on his farm, in Jefferson Township, on the 11th day of April, 1868, in the sixty-eighth year of his age."

February 24, 1841 in Bedford, Coshocton County Ohio, d. June 10, 1921 in Northeast, Cecil County, Maryland. Rubin Barker Whitaker (Jr.) is my paternal 2nd great grand father, and would appreciate any information you may have on this line. I have been at a dead end with Rubin B. Whitaker (Sr.) beyond his birth in New Jersey in 1800 for well over a year. Please let me know if I can be of any further help in your search.
