[7 named] and Rachel [Catherine] who married Adam Fudge, Mary [Polly] who married Harry Webb and Elizabeth Whitaker who did not marry."

Born c 1787/1790..[60 years old in 1850 WASHINGTON COUNTY, VA Census

James processed and sold salt from his property on the Elk Horn Branch of the North Fork of the Holston River, three miles east of Saltville. Apparently Alexander inherited the farm. James, Sr.'s land extended toward other Whitaker property which included Broadford to Big Tumbling, a stream cascading down from Laurel Bed Lake to end up in the town of Saltville. Professor J. Williams of Emory and Henry College, said the Whitakers operated a barge from Smyth Co. VA to Kingsport, TN carrying salt.
