    1. Whitaker - RI Cemetery Database
    2. Bob Whittaker
    3. Hi Everyone! I have finished scanning the Whitakers recorded in the Rhode Island Cemetery database. There are 218 names recorded. The information is in the form of an alphabetical index with Last Name, First, Birth, Death, Cemetery and Age columns. Additional information is probably available by checking the individual name record in the database. This system is not on-line, however I will look up information on the RI Historical Society computer if you send a request for specific records. Additional information sometimes includes age at death (yr., mo., days), Veteran information, inscription data when available. If you find a specific individual you are interested in, I can find the name and actual cemetery location. To find more information about the RI Cemetery Database project, go to: http://members.tripod.com/~debyns/cemetery.html When reviewing the RI Cemetery data it is helpful to know the following: Cumberland, founded in 1774 was formerly Attleboro Gore, MA Woonsocket was formed from part of Cumberland in 1867 Pawtucket, founded 1828, part from Pawtucket, MA, part from N. Providence (1874) East Providence, founded 1862 from Rehoboth, MA and Seekonk, MA For more information about Towns of RI, go to: http://users.ids.net/~jcraig/ri_towns.htm If anyone would like a copy of the Whitaker information in the database, please contact me and I will attach the file to an e-mail. Happy Hunting! Bob Whittaker
