Though I'd get into the WHITAKER in MO discussion. I have a WHITAKER ancestor (from Surry County, NC) that married a STOLTZ and later moved to MO. Will get back to the list as to the particulars, but a STOLTZ researcher sent me the data knowing of my ancestry to the WHITAKERs of Surry County, NC (Mt. Airy, Pilot Mountain, etc.). Were there other WHITAKERs from Surry County that migrated to MO? Bob Carter Greensboro, NC
