Research Notes

South Carolina is 548 miles south of Harford, Maryland, so for her to be born in South Carolina, married in Maryland 1754, and then going back to South Carolina, is questionable?

There is no real proof as to her parentage. She seems to be conflated a lot with this Hannah Whitaker, who is listed as her sister currently. They are often conflated, but are having children at the same time with different men, and thus cannot be the same person. More research is needed to separate the two.

Her marriage was sourced through a family group sheet, which is unreliable. She was listed as being born in 1734 in South Carolina, Joseph Guyton in 1730 in Maryland, and their marriage as being in 1754. there is a 2nd source images attached

Replaced birth date '26 Mar 1729' with 1734 from Yates record. The 1734 date belongs to Whitaker-25.

The Revo War pension record for Aaron Guyton has testimony from Hugh Whittaker, stating that he knew the couple for 30 years. Relationship to Hannah Whitaker - brother? No page number, but it's 390 of 845 pages.
