Hi, I figure it's time to put out my family info. again. I descend from JOHN WILLIAM WHITAKER (B. 4/17/1845) who md. ELVIRA SUSAN FURBUSH (b. June 30, 1849). Their children were: WALTER, ADA BELL, MARTHA EDMONIA, MARY SUSAN, CHARLIE EDWARD, SARAH ANN, BESSIE VIRGINIA, ROBERT BAXTER, WILLIAM JOEL, JAMES NOEL, LAURA ELLEN (my grandmother who married GEORGE MARTIN SAWYER of SOUTH MILLS, NC). My Whitaker line descended from the CHEATHAM's and the FURBUSH's of VA. I'm interested in hearing from any and all relatives. -Jean Johnson
