My Whitaker line is from Thomas Whitaker of the Holme in 1431, Lancashire, England. My Great Great Grandfather, William Lyon Whitaker (born in Edgecome Co., NC)went to Wayne co., Tenn. in 1844, and died at Thompsons Station during the Civil War. My G Grandfather, Joseph Montgomery Whitaker moved his family to Texas in 1905 first in Dickens Co., then in Howard Co. where I live now. Stacey
