Yep! My lines go back to the family twice. One side is through his William's son Edmund, then thru his son Abram (who also married his first cousin Lydia), then thru his daughter Sarah Elizabeth WHITAKER who married William Henry Harrison PATTERSON, my maternal great-great-grandather. The other line is from William's son Isaac, then thru his son Silas, then thru his son Bird Nathaniel, and then from his daughter Julila WHITAKER who married my maternal grandfather, Escar Floyd PATTERSON. Escar was the grandson of William Henry Harrison PATTERSON, so my grandmother, Julila, is the granddaughter of Sarah Elizabeth WHITAKER. :-) Bob Carter Greensboro, NC ----- Original Message ----- From: <MorrisLA1@aol.com> To: <WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 2:39 PM Subject: Re: [WHITAKER] Death with WHITAKER ties in Surry County > Is your line descended from William Whitaker. > > > ==== WHITAKER Mailing List ==== > > > > ============================== > Create a FREE family website at MyFamily.com! > http://www.myfamily.com/banner.asp?ID=RWLIST2 >
