Eliphalet
Whitaker, youngest child of Jonathan Whitaker I. was born 15
February 1731/32 in Huntington, Long Island, New York, and was
christened there in First Church, Huntington on March 5, 1731/32.&nbsp;
He married Ruth Bayles in New Jersey.&nbsp; They acquired land in
Somerset Co. and built a house near the home of his parents Jonathan
and Elizabeth Jervis Whitaker.&nbsp; His children were born in Somerset
Co, New Jersey and
possibly in Pennsylvania where he moved his family at the beginning of
the
Revolutionary War.&nbsp; He and his wife Ruth sold their property in
Pennsylvania
in 1783 and moved to Burke Co., Ga. leaving the oldest children, Samuel
and
Elizabeth, who had married, in New Jersey. <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In his "The Whitaker Family" Rev. Oscar Voorhees a
descendant
of Jonathan said that the house where Eliphalet Whitaker lived was
about
a mile distant on the top of the ridge that skirts the south side of
the
Mine Brook on a site still occupied along the main road to Liberty
Corner
in Somerset Co., N.J. and not far from his parents home. <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Their son Benjamin married Ann Emanuel, daughter of
the
Governor of Georgia, David Emanuel.&nbsp; We do not know what happened
to
his sons Daniel and Nathaniel Whitaker, or whether they had
descendants.&nbsp; It was said that one died in Louisiana.&nbsp; Our
family has not located the
burial place of Eliphalet and Ruth Whitaker.&nbsp; It was said that he
died
near Savannah. We do not know if this was Savannah, Georgia, or old
Savannah
Town which was across the river and near&nbsp; his home (Savannah Town
was
in what is now S.C.)&nbsp; Nor do we know the burial places of Col.
Benjamin
and Ann Emanuel Whitaker.&nbsp; It is said that David Emanuel lies in
Old
Church Cemetery, but that there is no stone on his grave.&nbsp; We have
been
in touch with genealogists in Georgia who are trying to help us
determine
if there is an unmarked cemetery on the land that was Benjamin
Whitaker's
near Louisville, Ga. and hope someday to get the graves of Gov. David
Emanuel
and Hon. Benjamin Whitaker marked.&nbsp; Both were Revolutionary War
soldier,
and both served their state in the legislature for many years. <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Georgia became a state in 1788 when Georgia ratified
the
Federal Constitution. Eliphalet Whitaker drew land in the Ga. Land
Lottery&nbsp;
in Burke Co. Ga.1788 - 300 Acres; 1788- 135 acres; 1788 - 100 acres <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Eliphalet's son Benjamin Whitaker who obtained
letters of administration on Eliphalet's property 19 March 1817 sold
the property April 7, 1818 probably to himself.&nbsp; Due to lack of
records we don't know
if Eliphalet left a will, but it is very likely since most of the
Whitakers
made wills.&nbsp; It is possible that he left some of his property to
sons
Samuel and Platt Whitaker. </font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="-1">"Whitaker
Family" Manuscript from Dartmouth College says that he was born
February 6, 1732 and not February 15, 1732. <br>

Whitaker adopted
these two children, but they are shown by some sources as Mary and
Phoebe
Whitaker. Both the wills of Jonathan Whitaker and Elizabeth Whitaker
mention
only Elizabeth, Jonathan, Jr., Nathaniel, and Eliphalet as heirs. It is
