1830 census of Danville Ill. has Elijah Whitaker and Mary Sharp (wife) & his father James Whitaker living close by. 1820 census I find James Whitaker in Dearborn co. Ind. before that. I think they came from a space ship. good news is Elijahs wife.,Mary Sharp had a good line that leads back to John Wolverton. and after that to Royal lines. that are very good. way into year 1000AD & before. At least the female lines are doing well. If anyone has any clues to my James Whitaker. census 1820 well, doubt it. as space ships kept few records. He didn;t leave any here on earth eather.... Not that I can find. My only hope is finding a live cousin someplace.... thanks whitaker cousins;. Janet whitaker

Hi, Whitakers: Have had much enjoyment reading your messages and rejoice with you when you find relatives. Is there no one out there who knows anything about Clark H. Whitaker, from VT, who m. Catherine (?) from NJ. They are listed as living in the Town of Binghamton, NY, around 1870, although evidence points to their having lived in Bradford Co.,PA at a later/earlier date. Their son was Sylvester Whitaker. No, I do not know what the H. in Clark's name stands for - I wish I did - it might have been a clue. Anyone?? Thanks, anyway! Marie Whitaker Sheldon

Kathryn, It is very possible that my Whittakers and yours are related although, Mine is spelled with two t's. I don't know what that's about but my gramps was always making certain that people spelled his name that way. I do now know that Warren and a George Whittaker were listed in Scituate Ma 1894 directory at Ancestry.com but I am not a member. I will need to do an 1890 census lookup to find their origins. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathryn Whitaker Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 8:53 PM To: WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WHITAKER] Descendants of David Whitaker (1767-1852) & Anna Beach (1771-1867) With all these place names, I can't imagine that your Whitakers and my husband's are not connected.

Mike, I know the spelling. We always thought it funny that, although my mother in law lived in a town of only 45 people (now a booming 100), her closest neighbor on her side of the road in Brunswick (Guildhall) Vermont was a Whittaker! No relation that we knew of, of course. We always ended up with eachother's mail.

Hi Nancy & Joan, I think I'm back. Still more funerals coming up. My son's English teacher still has not returned since 11 Sept. Her husband was one of the most seriously injured to be removed from the Pentagon. What I'll attempt to do here is just to respond to the numerous emails that you all have sent over the last few weeks in a chronological order and to add whatever else I can. In reference to the Pascal Whitaker (1817/27-1892) discussed, I have him 10 years younger (1817 instead of 1827) with "Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire, by E. S. Stearns & William Whitcher, 1908", email from Sheila Carlson (misty@cris.com), and the 1880 census as collaboration. 1880 Census Place: Pittsford, Rutland, Vermont Source: FHL Film 1255347 National Archives Film T9-1347 Page 242B Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Paschal WHITTAKER Self M M W 63 VT Occ: Carriage Manufacturer Fa: MA Mo: CT Mary M.

Yes, I am a descendant of John & Dolly (Fay) Whitaker. They are my g-g-g-grandparents. My maternal grandmother was a Whitaker born in Newport, Orleans Co, VT. Her dad, Eugene Edgar Whitaker, was the town doctor and grandson of John & Dolly Whitaker and son of Abner Newton Whitaker & Maudana Titus. I have John Whitaker, (1743-1829), serving as a private in the New Hampshire militia during the Rev War. I got my info on his birth place & date from "Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire, by E. S. Stearns & William Whitcher, 1908". More to come. Mike Let Freedom Ring!

Hi, Nancy I'll try calling Stow on my lunch break to see where they might have records and if they're open on Saturdays, when I'm not at work. I had been confused by your previous information that said "John Sr. was born in Stow, MA, May 26, 1713........His father, another John, died in Stow May 7, 1705". This would have been before his son was born! So I thought if the 3 of you came up with as many facts as possible about this family that you agree on, it might make it easier to find records when I make it there.

hi..since Mike contacted you first, let him decide...I guess I would want to know if there were any John Whitakers born in Stow in abt 1713 or buried there in 1746 (his fathert) or wife of the latter Hannah Ball or of the former Lydia Davis. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Dressel <billdressel@prodigy.net> To: <WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 11:50 PM Subject: Re: [WHITAKER] > Hi, Mike, Nancy and Joan > > Let me know once you have pieced things together and what and where you want > me to look for the records. > > Joyce > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Michael Cosner <mcosner@cox.rr.com> > To: <WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 8:59 PM > Subject: [WHITAKER] > > > > Hi Nancy & Joan, > > > > >From all your emails, it looks like we have a collaborative threesome > > working on two potentially close Whitaker lines that should be beneficial > > for us all and probably many others. > > > > Hope you don't mind my listing your names to Joyce Dressel who has > > generously offered to do some onsite research for us. > > > > I have read all your emails, they contain some very useful information but > I > > probably will not be able to respond fully to them until Mon or Tue of > next > > week because my 26 year old son is coming to visit us this weekend from NC > > and it's not even a holiday or a birthday!

hi. so many Whitakers (with at least 20 spellings) which one is ours????I got my information about a possible linkage from a USGenWeb project lookup that Nicholas Whitaker was the probable original emigrant. The Family Research Center of ther Mormon Church has him listed, and also his wife Martha,as having been born in Halesowen, Worcester(shire)which is in the northwest part of England. I have read that Winthrop brought a number of families from the westerncounties of England, but he is not listed as far as can tell. I went to the center here and ordered film of the parish records of Belbroughton and also probated wills (that is where this Nicholas died), which will come in 2-3 weeks. (Ah, the suspense!)In the meantime, there are some curious references in Bond's History of Watertown and Genealogies...to wit: p. 368...." he was an apprentice of Whitaker.." (unfortunately I did not record that person's name; p. 518.the reference to Mary Linfield; p 687 " Jan 20 l677 John Whitaker and wife Elizabeth sold to Nathaniel Payne [may be Paine] houses and land in Watertown purchased from Widow Martha Eyre [Eire] and heirs about the time they moved to Billerica [note..that town is bounded by Concord.]..in a trial on Oct. 20. 1677 witnesses John Whitaker age 37 wife Elizabeth age 35 Elizabeth age 16 and John Jr. age 14." a very naughty boy." [hmm.] Martha Eyre was the cond[ brackets mine wife of Simon Eyre, a doctor, who listed in his will as leaving to his wife "property with houses, orchards, etc." She was also a wealthy woman in her own right.Do not know about Mr. Paine. The other thing I am researching is the migration patterns from Watertown since, according to the Great Migrations newsletter(Vol. 1 Jan-Mar 1990 p. 1 "migration patterns within NE will point to long-term patterns of associations of certain families. These associations will provide clues to English origins and to group migrations to NE."

Michael, I am a Whitaker with lineage back to Abilgal Hopkins. Do you have any info on Steven Hopkins. The earliest evidence of my Whitaker line is gggrandfather Edgar Whitaker , his son James was born in 1842, Saratoga Co. New York. I cannot find anyone with any further info. James was in civil war and discharged in 1865 in Albany. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Cosner" <mcosner@cox.rr.com> To: <WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 11:59 PM Subject: [WHITAKER] > Hi Nancy & Joan, > > >From all your emails, it looks like we have a collaborative threesome > working on two potentially close Whitaker lines that should be beneficial > for us all and probably many others. > > Hope you don't mind my listing your names to Joyce Dressel who has > generously offered to do some onsite research for us. > > I have read all your emails, they contain some very useful information but I > probably will not be able to respond fully to them until Mon or Tue of next > week because my 26 year old son is coming to visit us this weekend from NC > and it's not even a holiday or a birthday!

Hello Mike and Nancy, Although I have researched for many years, I have so far been unable to find the missing link that would prove that Jonathan Whitaker b. 1690 was the son of Jonathan Whitaker b. 1664. Ephraim Seward Whitaker said that he was unable to find the connection to prove it. Some researchers quote Rev. Oscar Vorhees a descendant in saying that Jonathan was from Wiltshire, England and said that he came to Massachusetts but did not stay long there. He met and married Elizabeth Jervis or Jarvis, daughter of Thomas and Millicent Jarvis of Long Island. Their children were born at Huntington and christened there, and he lived there until the 1740's when he moved to Somerset Co., N.J. The oral family history about Jonathan stated that he was shipwrecked off the coast of Massachusetts along with his brothers and that only Jonathan survived. No one knows what date, or where he was coming from to Massachusetts. I made a trip to England in May, and while in London and Wiltshire, researched the Whitakers but was unable to find a Jonathan Whitaker b. 1690 in Wiltshire. My main focus was the non conformist church registers since my Jonathan and his family were Presbyterian. It is significant to me that Sarah Whitacus (Whitaker) moved to Fairfield and to Stratfield Connecticut. These places are almost directly across from Huntington, Long Island where my Jonathan married and lived with his family. With here were her three children, two daughters and a son Jonathan. My father was also concerned with finding Jonathan's ancestors, and along with the old family chart there was a pamplet which was done by someone stating that the Wiltshire Whitakers were descended from a Stephen Whitaker of Dorsetshire who had the following children: Henry, Stephen, and Jeffery. Henry( married Judith Hawkins and had Anthony, Elizabeth, William (who married Honor Hooper and had a son Henry): and Henry the youngest son who had sons Nicholas and Henry. Stephen, son of Stephen had a son Thomas Jeffery son of Stephen had Nash, Jeffery and 3 daughters. I haven't yet been able to determine if the Nicholas, son of William, was the Nicholas who came to Massachusetts. Has either of you found proof that your are definitely descended from John Whitaker son of John of Watertown? more later, Joan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Cosner" <mcosner@cox.rr.com> To: <nancy.bauer@worldnet.att.net>; <jlandrum@tvec.net> Cc: <billdressel@prodigy.net>; <WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 10:59 PM > Hi Nancy & Joan, > > >From all your emails, it looks like we have a collaborative threesome > working on two potentially close Whitaker lines that should be beneficial > for us all and probably many others. > > Hope you don't mind my listing your names to Joyce Dressel who has > generously offered to do some onsite research for us. >

Hi Nancy & Joan, >From all your emails, it looks like we have a collaborative threesome working on two potentially close Whitaker lines that should be beneficial for us all and probably many others. Hope you don't mind my listing your names to Joyce Dressel who has generously offered to do some onsite research for us. I have read all your emails, they contain some very useful information but I probably will not be able to respond fully to them until Mon or Tue of next week because my 26 year old son is coming to visit us this weekend from NC and it's not even a holiday or a birthday! Wow! :<) Anyway, I need to absorb what you both have shared and compare it to what I have which is scattered about my den and in boxes. A couple quick answers: 1. Yes, I am a descendant of John Whitaker and Dolly Fay - they are my great-great-great-grandparents. I visited their graves at the Jenne Cemetery at the intersection of Jenneville & Jenne Roads, in Hartland, Windsor Co, VT two months ago with my youngest son (14 years old). Excellently maintained cemetery. A bunch of Whitakers buried there and in near by cemeteries. 2. My grandmother was a Whitaker born in Newport, Vermont (about 4 miles south of the Canadian boarder) the daughter of a small town doctor - Dr. Eugene Edgar Whitaker and Eva Lane. My Whitaker line is the only line of my 4 grandparents that connects to New England but it does connect me to some interesting lines like Lane, Daggett, Robinson (Moses - 2nd governor of VT), Fay, Pratt, Sibley and Pierce as well as to Steven Hopkins on the Mayflower. This is a neat line to research! An interesting thing that I discovered while briefly at the library in Nashua, NH was that some how Mason, NH was at one time part of Groton, MA. I think the librarian told me this. I'll have to see if I wrote this down somewhere. Seems odd but that would explain some hopping back and forth between these two cities (& states) that we've noticed in some of our births & marriages. ****** Can anyone reading this email confirm or refute this? Gotta get up in 6 hours to go to work so will close for now. Mike Cosner Fairfax, VA BTW - 6th cousin to Kevin Costner, the actor, but to distant to inherit :<(

Joan, it was good to hear from you..good information and some of puzzle pieces fit well...is your line following the John born l662 or his younger brother Jonathan? Mine and I think Mike's follow John to another John b abt 1685 in Watertown and another John b 1713 in Stow MA married to Hannah Pierce.I also am curious as To how Nicholas and Martha got here since so far can't find them on any boat list! Familysearch has some good info on Nicholas.. I have recently sent to Utah for parish records and probates in Belbroughton ..hope to turn up something more.

A while back I researched this line trying to prove the ancestors of my Jonathan Whitaker born about 1690. Ephraim Seward Whitaker said on the old Whitaker family chart that he believed Jonathan to be descended from John Whitaker of Watertown, Mass. who had sons John b. 1662 and Jonathan b. 1664 and probably also sons David and Nathaniel. The Nicholas line was followed by LDS down through son John of Watertown to daughter Sarah b. 1660 who married William Young (they were the grandparents of Brigham Young.) Nicholas Whitaker b. 1591 in Halesowen, England d. 25 August 1669 He married Martha Unknown b. c. 1595 d. 25 June 1657 Children: 1. Elizabeth christened 13 Feb. 1625 2. John b. Watertown Massachusetts christened 9 Nov. 1623 in Halesowen, died 25 August 1669 3. Nicholas b. c. 1629 died 13 Sept 1691 John Whitaker of Watertown Mass b. 1623 in Watertown, Mass married (1) Margaret ____and (2) Elizabeth (Linfield?) Margaret's children: Job Whitaker - christened at Belbroughton, Worchester, Eng. William - christened 20 August 1644 Belbroughton Mary - christened 2 July 1647 Belbroughton John b. 7 June 1651 Bellbroughton m. Ann ____ Elizabeth - christened 1 April 1654 Belbroughton Job. b. c. 1656 Belbroughton Benjamin christened 1660 in Belbroughton d. 1712 Broome he married Alice Brook. Elizabeth's children by John of Watertown Sarah b. 12 June 1660 in Watertown, christened in Belbroughton she married William Young (grandparents of Brigham Young) John b. August 1662 in Watertown, Mass Jonathan b. 8 Oct. 1664 Sary b. 12 June 1666 Hannah b. 17 May 1669 >From "History and Genealogies of the Families of Old Fairfield" compiled and edited by Donald Lines Jacobus "Whitacus, Jonathan (Surname also spelled Whitaker) was supposedly the son of John of Watertown, Mass.

They had Elizabeth and John, removed to Billerica.." I believe that someone has a web page with the Nicholas line. I think that I called it up on my search engine once by typing in Nicholas Whitaker of Belbroughton or something similar. Best wishes, Joan Whitaker Landrum

Hi Joyce..like Mike I am researching the same Whitaker.. (Whittaker) line think John Whitaker and wife Thankful Pierce lived in Groton a while (or the area..Shirley andPepperell and even parts of N.H. went back and forth)since two sons were born there.. John and David..before they moved to Mason.The information I have from a Groton lookup source is that John Sr. was born in Stow MA May 26, 1713 and married a Lydia Davis. His father, another John ,died in Stow May 7, 1705..his wife was Hannah Ball.How close is Stow to you? Any chance you might get there? I know that is probably asking a lot..my sister and I will be in MA,NH and VT in Oct. and if you identify any sources, we could follow up on them then or get in touch with you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Dressel <billdressel@prodigy.net> To: <WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 11:41 PM Subject: Re: [WHITAKER] Nicholas Whitaker( Whittaker), ancestors to John & Thankful Pierce > Hi, Mike > > I noticed the towns mentioned in your message.

Hi, Mike I noticed the towns mentioned in your message. I live in Littleton, MA, the town next to Groton, and not too far from Shirley. If there's any information you think would be available in these towns, I could try looking into it on a Saturday when I'm not at work.
