1830 census of Danville Ill. has Elijah Whitaker and Mary Sharp (wife) & his father James Whitaker living close by. 1820 census I find James Whitaker in Dearborn co. Ind. before that. I think they came from a space ship. good news is Elijahs wife.,Mary Sharp had a good line that leads back to John Wolverton. and after that to Royal lines. that are very good. way into year 1000AD & before. At least the female lines are doing well. If anyone has any clues to my James Whitaker. census 1820 well, doubt it. as space ships kept few records. He didn;t leave any here on earth eather.... Not that I can find. My only hope is finding a live cousin someplace.... thanks whitaker cousins;. Janet whitaker
