Whitaker-1452 and Whitaker-964 appear to represent the same person because: Whitaker-1452 has been edited so that it can be merged with Whitaker-964. (Whitaker-1452 was detached from Jabez; no evidence found that he had a son Richard & locations & death date matched the profile for Whitaker-964, attached as son of Jabez's son William). Please merge. Thanks!
Hi! I posted the following comment on the profile for Jabez Whitaker:
Richardson lists son William, but not a son Richard, who is causing a data warning (his profile has birth in 1634; Jabez died "after 1626" - date probably based on text (it's the last date mentioned): "Captain Jabez Whitaker was in Colonial Council of Virginia, 1626".
The profile for Richard is unsourced. Any objection to detaching him as a son?
Thanks, Liz
If you have a primary source or persuasive secondary sources for his being son of Jabez, please post them. Otherwise, he needs to be detached.
