Art: I've been meaning to work on the Glasco relations and your query has
gotten me back on track. I'll be away from home for a few days, but when I
get back, I'll send you what I have on Glasco/Saugerties
Whitakers/Whittakers.
My mother is 82 and my aunt is 81. They will be thrilled to hear about you
and your grandmother. I'm planning a trip with my mother and aunt up the
Hudson River Valley in May. I've been to the cemetery in Saugerties, but
I've never been able to find the cemetery in Glasco.
I think there are Glasco Whitakers buried in Green Wood cemetery in
Brooklyn. That cemetery has its records on the net.
Will be back in touch.

Berta,
Many thanks for your answer and for the information about the
Carles. Until a few weeks ago, I knew virtually nothing about them. This
information is a virtual gold mine. My grandmother (Emma Whitaker Brady)
knew little about her grandmother. Christina died 23 years before my
grandmother was born. The Carle connection makes a lot of things
clear. Example: Walter Crum. I have a beautiful picture of him on an
original metal plate. My father knew his name, but that is all. Walter is
buried in Brooklyn with Nancy (Post) Whitaker, Emma's mother. This new
info tells me that Walter is the grandson of Maria Carle and Peter Crum. I
knew that Nancy & Walter were "cousins". Now I know how.
Yes. I am quite interested in the Whitakers. My grandmother always spoke
of Kingston, but when I was young, Kingston could have been on the
moon. We lived in Brooklyn. I would appreciate any contact with related
Whitakers.
Yesterday, I went down to the Main Branch of the NY Public Library. They
have Burhans Genealogy. I saw it for the first time. What a gold mine!!
Thanks again for your answer and for any further family connections..
