Hey Joyce! My plan is to teach college level --up. I enjoy the academic environment and helping people achieve their educational goals. Nontraditional students make up the majority in higher ed today, and that will probably continue, so the adult ed degree fits very well. I have put in for a few jobs up in Maine. Most in Mass just don't pay enough to afford to live there. Here are the children I have for Andrew Jackson and Hannah Bass Whitaker--in birth order (though I don't have the years). Christina, Aaron, William E., Emily, Mary, Richard, Lydia, Malinda, Malissa, Pilcy Marinda, Martha Jane, Henry, and Sam M. And AJ also fought in the Civil War--busy guy, huh? Well, take care! Patrick

Hi, Patrick Thanks for the info. That explains why I don't have Henry - I don't have any of Abraham's siblings in my file. Anyway, we're still cousins! We moved to Mass. from MO (where Frances Whitaker moved with her husband) when my husband took a job in the computer industry. Congratulations on your excellent gradepoint! What grade level do you hope to teach? I'll look forward to any info you are willing to send about your Whitakers. Let me know if you want mine and we can compare facts.

Hey Cousin Bob! I didn't think you forgot me--there are just so many of us and we seem to be multiplying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anne-W-M and I have been talking about getting together but haven't managed yet--even with living in the same town : ) I don't have much data compiled yet--I'm sure you have all that I have, as Anne has been the source of most of it. You did send me the photo of Abram's & Lydia's graves; have you found one's of Andrew Jackson & Hannah Bass Whitaker, or Edmund & Dicey? would love to have those. I finished my M.Ed. in May--3.917 GPA. We always knew those Whitakers were smart : ) I am job hunting now for a position in higher education. I want to eventually teach, but that will probably take a doctorate. IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS CONTACTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.--Privately at patrick4u@mindspring.com So that's the scoop from here. Henry Martin's descendants have a reunion every year the Sunday afternoon following Labor day. The last couple of years it has been at a Methodist Church near Randleman. I don't know of any of the family on this listserve--but there may be. I will quit now before I load everyone's inbox. Take care Bob! Patrick

Sorry Joyce, I messed up a little. That's what I get for trying to answer quickly. My Henry is the son of Andrew Jackson Whitaker, Abraham's brother. That would make us fourth cousins-once removed--I think. Sorry for the mistake, but I was close. I have heard about the scholarship for native Americans, but didn't have any way to prove it. Maybe by the time I go for my Doctorate I will have the info. BTW Joyce, how did you get all the way up there in MA? School is finished, I'm just job hunting right now, so it's a good opportunity to update my info. I am not sure that the Cherokee connection is through the Whitakers. My Grandmother was a DeMont, whose mother was a Wicker (all over central NC). She looked like an Indian, but I have seen a couple of other references to the Whitaker/Indian connection--so it may be. For whatever that is all worth, I will sign off now. Take care and keep in touch. Patrick

Hi again, Bob You mentioned that the wife of William H. Patterson, Sarah Elizabeth Whitaker, was one of Lucinda's sisters. In my family tree info, I have her listed as the daughter of Lydia (niece of Lucinda). Let me know if I have it down wrong. Thanks, Joyce

Hi again, Patrick I looked at my family tree information, and I didn't even have Henry as a son of Lydia and Abraham - what year was he born? I wonder how many other children of theirs I'm missing! I have Sarah b1841, Frances b 1842, Thomas b 1846, James b 1847 and Matilda b 1856. Thanks, Joyce

Hi Patrick, Thanks so much for your reply. Up until now, no other Whitakers I've contacted knew anything about a Cherokee connection. Any info you come across would be greatly appreciated. You mentioned grad school - did you know if you're part Native American, you can apply for a scholarship? I think it's up to 1/32, but not sure. But you have to be able to name the tribe, ancestors, etc. When you have more time, I'd love to exchange information with you - I can send you Frances's descendants, if you don't already have them.

Bob, Gosh how quickly we forget.......do you not remember me here in Winston-Salem, we have had a LOT of correspondence about the Whitakers and you have sent me all the pictures, we even talked of maybe doing some grave hunting together.......its me - Susan You have all my data I believe. I think I also alerted you to the fact that the Robert Whitaker who married Mary Hall is NOT our ancestor and thus all that early stuff is not ours at this point until we find OUR Robert Whitaker who died in 1788 right before signing his land deed in Surry Co. NC and his wife Mary (surname now unknown) signed for it. Both Robert and Mary Hall Whitaker died in Cecil Co. and Robert died in 1754 leaving a will, Mary died later leaving a will as well. Our William and Jonathan I are not sons of that Robert....so we are back to the drawing board on our line - Hester Jackson had it wrong and thus has misled a whole bunch of us.......anyway - hope you remember me now!!!

Yo Patrick! :-) Sorry I didn't mention your name earlier in my reply, and Anne Whitaker McCRACKEN too. How's grad school coming along? Well I hope! Same for you and Anne too, if ya'll haven't sent me your WHITAKER data, please do so, and I'll do the same. And, let me know if ya'll don't have a copy of the photo I took of Abram's and Lydia's grave. Will be glad to send one. BTW, any specific grave sites everyone need. . . . from the Surry County region? I stop and try and get as many grave markers as I can of our own ancestry, but CSA veterans as well, regardless of surnames. Collection now is over 1000 and counting. :-) Next week, hope to get to Rockford.

Hi Cousin Joyce! My ggrandfather was Henry Martin Whitaker (brother of Frances). I guess that would make us third cousins once removed! As for the Cherokee connection, My Dad always said he was 1/16 Cherokee. That would make Frances and Henry 1/4--if it came through that line. My Dad never said where it came from and at the time, I guess I didn't care. Next time I see my uncles, I will see if they know any more. I hope to get serious about this search soon. I have been in grad school and didn't have time to do the research. As soon as I find a job, I will work some of this into my schedule. Would write more now but have to get ready for church. Blessings on you, cousin--and all the other cousins on this list. Patrick Whitaker Richmond, Virginia patrick4u@mindspring.com

Hi, Susan I saw your message about Lucinda Whitaker. I am descended from her sister, Lydia, b. March 22, 1822 and her husband (and cousin) Abraham Whitaker (son of Edmund Whitaker and Dicy Safely). Their daughter, Frances Sythia Whitaker, b. Dec. 10, 1842, is my gggrandmother. We have reports of Frances being either 1/2 or 1/4 Cherokee Indian, and a picture of her in which she certainly looks Native American. Have you heard of any Cherokee blood in the Whitakers? I haven't been able to find any info about who this might have come from. I know back then many tried to hide their Native American heritage, and pass for 'white' if possible. Does Lucinda show signs of this heritage in her picture? I would love to also have any information you are willing to send about the Whitaker family. I also have our information, from another 'cousin' as descended from Robert Whitaker and Mary Hall. I have information about Frances's descendants, if you need it. Thanks, Joyce Dressel

Wanda, Abner and Lucinda Whitaker Bagby are my great-great grandparents also. That makes us second cousins! I am a descendant through their youngest son Charles Little Bagby, Wesley Micajah's (the name came to be thought of as McCarger because that is how Micajah sounded ) brother. I have a great deal of information on the Bagbys, the Phillips (back to Rev. George Phillips who came over in 1630 with Gov. John Winthrop to the Plymouth Colonies)-Abner's mother was Sarah Phillips Woodruff and his father William Bagby, and the Whitakers. I don't know if you were at the Bagby reunion 2 summers ago but I brought all my information there along with pictures of Abner and Lucinda and their family. I know there were Willis folks there. Anyway, you are right Lucinda's father was named Jonathan Whitkaer (they usually refer to him as Jonathan II since there was an older Jonathan, not his father) and his mother was Sarah Eliza (or Elizabeth ) Howard (her father was a William Howard, mother unknown). Jonathan II was born in Surry Co. NC as was his daughter Lucinda. I have information on all her siblings as well and many of the other decendants of this family. There are reunions held for them as well in Yadkin Co. every year. Jonathan's father was a William Whitaker and mother's name was Mary (surname unknown or it was also possibly Whitaker as well) William was born in Maryland - probably Baltimore Co. where his father Robert Whitaker and mother Mary (surname unknown) were from. This is where our line deadends for the present. Just recently I found that the information that had been passed down for years on the family - taking them back to England in the 1500s was based on a different Robert Whitaker son of John Whitaker and Jane Parker but this Robert Whitaker who was married to Mary Hall did not come to Surry Co. NC but died in 1754 in Cecil Co. MD long before our Robert and Mary came to Surry Co. NC and bought land in 1788 AND Robert himself died in 1788 before his land deed was signed - Mary had to sign it. They had one other known son Jonathan I - Jonathan I and William are the progenitors of the Surry Co. NC Whitaker clan of which we are a part. I literally have so much information I don't know where to begin to tell you everything. I should send you copies of everything I have and send you the Bagby, Phillips, Hunt (they married into the Phillips) and Whitaker text files from Family Treemaker - I have spent 3 to 4 years putting all their information (and more) in the program and there is no possible way that I could write to you everything. I live here in NC - in Winston-Salem My grandfather Alonzo Bagby had a men's clothing store here in Winston called Hine-Bagby Clothiers while he was alive and my mother grew up here, going to Salem College. We moved to NJ when I was 9 but I returned to live here in 1984. It is my mother's family that I have done the majority of my research on and therefore the Bagby's are my line from which everything else comes down to and so and near and dear to me. The search for William's father - still unknown has just about driven me crazy but somehow someday maybe we will sort it out. Somehow we are connected to the Virginia Bagbys and the John and James who came to Jamestown but as yet that too is unknown - we are missing one link....we have traced William back to Halifax Co. NC before he came to Surry and Wilkes Co. NC but there ...things get confusing. Anyway let me know if you can accept attachments and I will start sending you what I can via email and then I will start making paper copies of things and I will need your address to send you those - I have some great pictures including one the one of Abner and Lucinda with all their living adult children - except my great-grandfather for some reason - he was perhaps too young to sit still for the picture. The Phillips are a wonderful illustrious family as well with a lot of history behind them....fascinating stuff I think - I love it! Glad to meet another Bagby cousin!!! Your cousin, Susan Susan J.

Hey cuz according to the diary of Josephus Newton Davis he states his wife's family was from a fine English family. We assume Joseph was born at sea and was coming from somewhere in England. Josephus Newton Davis diary is online at New River Notes and I have some Canter / Whittaker pictures up there as well if you would like to see. Please stay in touch and if we have a breakthrough on Joseph Whittaker we will let you know, but what a brickwall! Pleading for all Whittaker searchers to keep their eyes open for our Joseph Whittaker born at sea. Hope someday someone will lead us to his bonded out papers or his marriage. Any clue to his first 20 years of life.

Hi, all. I have posted names on the BAGBY list, but there was so much material to put over there, that I thought I would make it a bit less involved, since this lady, Lucinda, is my only ancestor from the Whitaker lines. Lucinda Whitaker was born 5-12-1821 somewhere (I believe) in North Carolina. We are told that her father's name was Johnothan. We do not have the name of her mother, nor any other names from the family group, or any ancestors, on either side of her family. We think we are a bit short, in the details of her life!! She was the wife of Abner BAGBY, b. 9-4-1810, also in unknown, NC, and she and her husband are my GGGP. Their son was Wesley McCarger BAGBY, b. 11-2-1852, in Yadkin Co., NC. Wesley became a methodist pastor, and served the Methodist Church in the western part of NC, for many years, into the early 1900's. If anyone out there in this audience can tell us more about Lucinda, or her family, we will very much appreciate all the information you might be willing to share!! Thanks, and my regards.

Hi everyone, I am very interested in connecting with other who may be able to shed some light on Joseph Whittaker, born at sea about 1755. According to what information I have, his nationality was unknown; nor do I know the name of the ship. His parents reportedly died at sea and he was bound out in N.C. He was reputed to be a courier for George Washington during the Revolutionary War. He married Obedience "Biddie" Purdue and had a number of children. Does anyone have additional information that might help me in knowing more about him? Parenthetically, one of his sons was Aaron. One of Aaron's sons was William Aaron, who was my gr-gr-gr-grandfather. This Whittaker line went from Pulaski CO., Va to Giles CO., to Mercer Co., WV. THANKS ! Kyleen Gavin
