I have a Thomas J. Whitaker of which I have no vital information. Several sibling of his were born in the 1830's . His father, Daniel, was born in KY but I think most if not all of his siblings were born in TN. Interestingly enough this Thomas' sister, Melissa Atlanta Whitaker, married Richard Henry Marshall. The dates are right and there is a Marshall connection. Do you have any more information to go on? Look here for info. . . http://www.jps.net/rsw/roots/data/dat18.htm#3 -Robert Scott Whitaker > -----Original Message----- > From: David and Ellen Salle [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, September 13, 1998 7:19 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Thomas P.
