  Notes	Benjamin Whitaker reported in the above report that he was from a family of nine [9] children.  Five sons and four daughters.  Other research  by  John Weldon Whiteaker states the Bible of Absalom Rufus Whitaker, son of Moses Whitaker lists in his handwriting "My grandfather, Richard Whitaker had 11 boys and three girls - Giles, Aaron, John, James, Moses, Benjamin and Thomas. [7 named] and Rachel [Catherine] who married Adam Fudge, Mary [Polly] who married Harry Webb and Elizabeth Whitaker who did not marry." Washington County, Virginia Deed Book 20, page 26 In 1827 Polly Hayter, Richard Whiteaker and Adam Fudge, Jr. went bond for the estate of William Hayter, deceased, with Polly Hayter as the administrator. We know Richard Whitaker was the father-in-law of Adam Fudge, Jr. More than likely this Polly Hayter was the daughter of Richard and widow of William Hayter. Age reference 1860 Washington Co. VA Census. 1850 Washington Co.VA Census:  Harry Webb, Farmer, worth $475., Mary, 40; Joseph, 14; William, 12.  If Mary's age is correct here she would have been born in 1810. Joye Boardman thinks the 1860 Census is correct.   1860 Washington Co.VA Census: Harry Webb, 73, Polly, 64, William 23; David, 21.1 Living next door is Joseph Webb, 24 and wife, Mary, 24. Washington Co.VA Deed Book 18, page 73-74, confirms Mary Whitaker Hayter married Mr. Webb. Mary died after 1880 in WASHINGTON CO.VA. [Information from Norma Hite,Abingdon, VA.] [1]
