BlankPatti, my ancestor, Sylvanus Whitaker,b 1813, lived in Edinburgh, Saratoga Co, NY in 1820s married Aphia Degroff. His son, James Degroff was my ggrandfather. There was thought to be a connection to Clark Whitaker, Sylvanus being his brother???. They evidently lived next door to one another for a time. Then I was told that that was erroneous. Do you have any info on this? Margie in Michigan.

Haven't found a connnection yet but am still looking will get back to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margie" <mearns@ismi.net> To: <WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2002 10:14 AM Subject: [WHITAKER] Sylvanus Whitaker > BlankPatti, my ancestor, Sylvanus Whitaker,b 1813, lived in Edinburgh, > Saratoga Co, NY in 1820s married Aphia Degroff.
