I have been researching my family tree (attached file) and this has lead me to the genealogy website of David Robert Wooten - 9august.com.
I am quite sure that my 12th Great Grandfather is Robert Whitaker who I believe is the brother of William Whitaker DD (Father of Alexander Whittaker – who was responsible for the baptism and conversion of Pocahontas).
On the website 9august.com it traces Robert’s and William’s family line back to Sir John Whitaker http://www.9august.com/DRW/pafg19.htm#120
and then to Johias http://www.9august.com/DRW/pafg38.htm#19445
but on http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.anc ... html#I2897
instead of Sir John Whitaker it takes them back to Richard Whitaker http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.anc ... html#I1614
then to Gilbert Whitaker http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.anc ... html#I1629
Of course, I would prefer to be a descendant of a knight of the realm, but it is confusing which line to take. I was wondering if anyone is researching the same family line and has any further information.
Thanks
Paul Whittaker (of Stoneyholme now living in Nelson)
(My family surname curiously changed from ‘Whitaker’ to ‘Whittaker’ between the 1871 and 1881 census ?)
