Hi Nancy, This is a line that I am also researching and descend from. I visited and took pictures, 2 months ago, of the graves of John & Thankful (nee Pierce) Whitaker at the Pleasant View Cemetery in Mason, Hillsborough Co, NH. This was a well taken care of cemetery in the middle of beautiful nowhere. :<) I went to the County library in Nashua but found no ancestor information there. I have not connected this line to the Haverhill or Rehoboth Whitakers either. I wish that I could. I'd get a lot of help on this from this list. This is the first I've heard of John Sr's father and possibly his wife's name. Where did you obtain this information? Part of my line is Direct Descendants of John Whitaker, Sr. 1 John Whitaker, Sr. 2 John Whitaker, Jr. b: Abt. 1744 in Shirley, Middlesex Co, MA d: Oct 1, 1829 in Mason, Hillsborough Co, NH +Thankful Pierce b: Jun 5, 1744 in Groton, Middlessex Co, MA m: Dec 23, 1766 in Groton, Middlessex Co, MA d: Sep 6, 1831 in Mason, Hillsborough Co, NH 3 John Whitaker b: Feb 12, 1770 in Groton, Middlessex Co, MA d: Nov 1, 1860 in Hartland, Windsor Co, VT +Dolly Fay b: 1773 in Groton, Middlessex Co, MA m: in Groton, Middlessex Co, MA d: Feb 21, 1850 in Hartland, Windsor Co, VT 4 Abner Newton Whitaker b: Abt.
