DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

1) In the document 'Whitaker, H. (1983). Record of the Whitaker families of N.C. Salt Lake City, Utah: Filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah'. which was originally compiled in 1872 by Henry Whitaker (Whitaker-2087), the Great Grandson to William Whitaker (Whitaker-206), there where 5 sons and 3 daughters of William and Elizabeth (Carleton) Whitaker. The names of the five sons were Marcus, Samuel, William, Peter and Joshua. according to this document, there was no son named John.
2) The current best guess of the Y-DNA Haplogroup of William Whitaker (Whitaker-206), and therefore of his sons. is I-M253. This comes from the webpage http://www.couchgenweb.com/family/samuelw1753.htm and the website https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Whitaker?iframe=yresults, where see the Y-DNA haplogroup for C Bruce Whitaker, the compiler of the genealogical book "C. Bruce Whitaker, The Whitaker Family of Buncombe County, North Carolina and Genealogies of the Reed, Harper, and Wright Families. (Ward Publishing Company, Ashville, NC. 1989), [FHL book 929.273 W58wc].". This book is an update of the work of Henry Whitaker (Whitaker-206) in 1 above.
3) Again, looking in https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Whitaker?iframe=yresults, we see the Kit id 11995, with the paternal Ancestor "John Whitaker b.1755 Pitt Co, NC, d.1835 Ala.". This referring to the son of Whitaker-1522, John Whitaker Jr (Whitaker-1521). The Y-DNA Haplogroup of this man is R-M269, which means that is the Haplogroup of Whitaker-1522. We have no lineage to use so we can check if fact this is true, but on the Find-a-grace for John Jr, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/43563367/john-whitaker, you will find this "DNA of John Whitaker's descendants match closely to those of Mark Whitaker (1677-1729) of Baltimore and wife Catherine Teague". and if you look again on that Y-DNA report in Whittakers Project from FTDNA you will see that these are likely the project members in Group1, and they are all R-M269 Haplogroup Whitakers.
4) if the lineage of the two men in 2 and 3 are true, then it is not possible for both to have the common ancestor of William Whitaker (1701). More data should help resolve this conflict.
