  _UID	040FA7E7AAB5484DAE5066456954BFD18B8E
  Notes	David Whitaker, son of Benjamin and grandson of Richard, tells in the History of Oregon, page 886, that "Grandfather Richard Whiteaker emigrated from Wales previous to the Revolution and settled in North Carolina, where he married Rachel Bentley and reared a family of 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." Joye Boardman notes she knows nothing of Thomas Whitaker except he was named as a son of Richard Whitaker in the bible of Absolom Rufus Whitaker.  She does not find him in the Personal Property Tax Lists of WASHINGTON CO.VA 1782-1840. [Note: I don't believe this Thomas is Thomas Hargis Whittaker born Jan. 16, 1788 in Virginia and died Jan. 16, 1869 in Greene Co. TN who married Jemima Edgemon. Joseph Whitaker and Obedience (Biddie) Perdue of Wythe Co. VA are the likely parents of Thomas Hargis.
