In this book the author lists William Whitaker and Elizabeth's Carleton
Whitaker's children as:
Lydia b 1724,
Marcus (Mark) born 1727,
Susannah b 1728,
Samuel born 1731,
Peter born 1733,
William Jr. b 1734,
Joshua b 1735,

Greg,
Thanks for the information. Mary Whitaker was a daughter of William, Jr.
as originally published, not to be mistaken as a daughter of William, Sr.
That means that Abigail Osborne (b. 1757) cannot be a daughter of James
Osborne and Mary Whitaker, because she is the same age as Mary (b. ca
1755). [I have Abigail as a daughter of Caleb Osborne instead.] The problem
is still not thoroughly resolved, however. Thanks for your help.
