I've got a feeling that we have corresponded before, but I never give up trying to find more on my Whitakers. My Joseph Whitaker was bapt 1755 in Leeds, England. His father James b 1723 m Ann Mosgrave. James' father was John. And that is as far back as I go. James was not born in Leeds but in another city nearb y. I didn't find his baptism. He was a cloth Merchant. Joseph entered the army and served in Light brigade calvery.
