the 1850 Indiana Accelerated Indexing System records on page 463 the
presence of a Barnet Whiteaker in Dubois County, Indiana. Can someone
please help me find out about this family. I believe it is the first real
lead to the family of my ggg-father, Henderson Whiteaker, who married Mary
A BEARD in Dubois County, IN in 1840. Later census records show that
Henderson Whiteaker was born in Indiana in 1814, but the Dubois County
Courthouse fire in 1839 has destroyed all records that might connect me to
my ancestors there. Thanks. Buddy Whiteaker, Pine Bluff, Arkansas

I went back and did another search for Whitacre. They were located in Jay,
Vigo and Franklin Co. You should do that search. You may find Barnett or
Henderson in one of those counties. Henderson may have married in Dubois
because Mary was from there, not his family.
Hope this helps.
