Hi Priscilla and fellow WHITAKER Researchers:

I was very excited to see your listing on Rootsweb today. Here is the
information I have on my paternal 2nd great grand uncle Lewis WHITAKER
who was born Abt. 1838 in Coshocton County Ohio (Source: 1850 Census for
Bedford, Coshocton County Ohio), and d. on March 7, 1890. An obituary
was obtained from Deaths: Coshocton County Ohio 1867-1909 which is an
obituary index for that period. This index was compiled by Mrs. Hilda
Grace McPherson in 1976. This obituary lists a Lewis WHITAKER as having
died on March 7, 1890. A copy of the County Death Record for Coshocton
County, Ohio lists a Lewis Whitaker as having died as a result of
"suicide while insane." This Lewis Whitaker's place of birth is listed
as Bedford Township, Coshocton County Ohio, and his age as 51.

Lewis WHITAKER is the fourth son of Rubin Barker WHITAKER (Sr.) b. abt.
1800 in New Jersey. (Source: 1850 Census for Bedford, Coshocton County
Ohio), and d. April 11, 1868 in Jefferson Township, Coshocton County,
Ohio (Source: Historical Collections of Coshocton County Ohio: A
Complete Panorama of the County, From the Time of the Earliest Known
Occupants of the Territory Unto the Present Time. By William E. Hunt;
Chapter 23, p. 255:

"Reuben B. Whittaker, for more than forty years a resident ot Coshocton
County, died on his farm, in Jefferson Township, on the 11th day of
April, 1868, in the sixty-eighth year of his age."

Rubin Barker Whitaker (Jr.) b. February 24, 1841 in Bedford,
Coshocton County Ohio, d. June 10, 1921 in Northeast, Cecil County,

Rubin Barker Whitaker (Jr.) is my paternal 2nd great grand father, and
would appreciate any information you may have on this line. I have been
at a dead end with Rubin B. Whitaker (Sr.) beyond his birth in New
Jersey in 1800 for well over a year.

Please let me know if I can be of any further help in your search.
