Dear Barbera; I'm not sure I answered your letter or not as I was so excited over hearing from you. and I was visiting my daughter & family. but home again. and back to work. Yes. I really think we are cousins!!! I'm delighted. please keep in touch. after seeing your letter. I checked MY FAMILY>COM and Ancestry.com I looked for NANCY SMALES and JEMIMA MOORE. both who married John Whitaker and James whitaker. since I first checked the whitaker list. I found 1000 whitaker's yuk!!! then I realized I had those two female names above. & that was easier. so this is how it looks. James whitaker b. 1756 in "penn" m. to Jemima Moore b. 1761 in NJ she d. 1850-1860 Allen co. Ind. they had a son. John Whitaker 16 feb. 1786 b. Penn who married Nancy Smales in DEARBORN CO. IND. in 1806-1807 Nancy b. 1786 at Ellicott's mills Howard co. Md. they had a son James whitaker. & ___________________??????? ( this is my space ship James) I believe that James had a brother Daniel I think you agree to the above. but now James Whitaker with no wife.. had a son Elijah Whitaker & Mary Sharp they had a son William Whitaker & Nancy Mabe he had ason Frank M. Whitaker & Emma Krug they had a son. Leonard "Bert" Whitaker & Margaret Mary Seely they had a son Ronald Martin Whitaker & Janet Louise Spitz. ( THIS IS ME....) and we have 3 children Mark Jeff & wendy ( Spangler) now if you agree with this line. let me know. Now there are three of us cousins who have been working on this Whitaker line for over a year now. well, I mean every day. over a year. any how. we had to go though the female lines. but we have some great lines. and find royalty and it goes as far back as 400 A D Now if you fit into this family. we can all share this information. the other two gals have documented everything they can find. and done a wonderful job. I'd like to see it on a C D so we can each just buy the CD and have everything in it we want. and print it out as we want for ourselves. keep in touch. let's see how you think this family is. Nice to meet you Cousin. Janet whitaker of Canton ohio.
