Whittaker researchers, I just signed up with this list today. I am seeking information on my gr gr grandfather Peter Whittaker who was born in Canada in 1796, moved to New York, and finally in 1818 with his father in law, Isaac Lownsbery, moved to Tioga co, Pa. where he spent the rest of his life. His son Seth and Seth's daughter Celia Jane Whittaker are my ancestors. Celia was my mother's mother. Looking for information on Peter's parents in Canada. A biography of Peter says his father was drafted for the war of 1812 and Peter agreed to serve in his father's place but did not like the idea of fighting americans and deserted to the USA. Any information on this family would be appreciated. Harold Hooper of Yacolt, Washington
