Hi Joyce, I pulled up v.14/#3314, and found that the Abigail Whitacar listed was born between 1765-1789, died between 1825-1880, and married Andrew Ware, 10/21/1800 in Georgia. Doesn't seem to be the one you are looking for.

Can someone with the CDs for the World Family Tree look in volume 14, Tree #3314 and see what info there is for Abigail Whitacar. I have searched and searched and all I can find is that she was married to Benjamin Killam in Boxford, Mass. in 1714, and moved to Norwich, Conn. Their daughter, Bridgett, married Jonathan Ela in Norwich. Joyce Moore

Malinda (Millie) Whitaker was the daughter of John Whitaker and Milly Brookshire. Millie, the daughter, married Sampson Lewis about 1828 in Buncombe County, N.C. This family moved to Southeast Missouri. They are listed in the 1840 St Francois Co., Pendleton Twnp Census. By 1850 they were in Butler County, MO. Sampson Lewis died between Sept 8 - Oct 21, 1854. Would like to share information with others on this family. Helen Schoenemann 3517 Harvey Lk Rd Highland, MI 48342 HSchoen791@aol.com

Though I'd get into the WHITAKER in MO discussion. I have a WHITAKER ancestor (from Surry County, NC) that married a STOLTZ and later moved to MO. Will get back to the list as to the particulars, but a STOLTZ researcher sent me the data knowing of my ancestry to the WHITAKERs of Surry County, NC (Mt. Airy, Pilot Mountain, etc.). Were there other WHITAKERs from Surry County that migrated to MO? Bob Carter Greensboro, NC

Thanks, Cathy. The concensus seems to be that a huckster was a salesman, but the variety of wares tended to vary. For some reason I seemed to associate the term with the old traveling carnival/circus era, in particular, the sideshow attractions. Perhaps I'm confusing terms.

Webster Dictionary: 1) Hawker, peddler; 2) one who produces advertising material for commercial clients esp. for radio or television. (Now we know there was no radio or television then, so he must have been the peddler.) I guess he sold stuff on the streets! Patti R L Whitaker wrote: > What is a Huckster? > > Gilly K.

a Huckster is a salesman today. but then it was a peddler or someone who came around to sell you something. ( an Early "Fuller Bush man" or " Avon Calling" ) Don;t be ashamed of him. In my family. it was always said. that one distant aunt was Vet. a cat a Dog Doctor. Well, I was impressed at a lady being an animal Doctor that early. but I found no records anywhere to this effect only heresay from family. When I last I spoke to an " outspoken uncle" he said. " Auntie a Vet? well, H_____ She was no Doctor. She ran a CAT HOUSE.!!! No wonder I found no records!!!! I also have a William Whitaker b. 1830 who was born Danville Ill. He married Mary Padget when she died. married Nancy Ann Mabe of Tenn. they moved to Nebraska and died there. William's father was Elijah Whitaker & Mary Sharp. Relax. the " Lady Vet": was not from Whitaker line.. rwhit18007@aol.com Jan

Sorry, Jim, my notes do not indicate what the initial B. (in William B. Whitaker) stands for. My very sketchy notes indicate that he deserted the family, but I do not know when. I did find an obituary notice in the St. Louis MO library services (on the internet) that listed a William Whitaker who died 7/15/1902, but this could be any one of a number of William Whitakers that I find on the Internet databases.
