* SOME NOT ALL OF THE NOTES FILED UNDER Richard relate to him and or his descendents. At the time I started entering my data on the PAF there was not a place to put research on those I came across who were not of this line. So I chose to enter All data on Whitakers under Richard so as not to missplace or loose what one day might be of importance to me or others.
There are 62 pages of lists, index and extracted records for the surname Whitaker, Whittaker and Whitacer.
