Notes |
- The actual census image for the 1860 Crawford Nathaniel Childers Jr family shows a Martha, b.1849, Catherine E., born 1850, and a Jacob B. Whitaker, age not given, living with the core Childers family. By the 1880 Crawford census, Elizabeth Whitaker shows up with a dob of 1852 living with the core Nathan Childers family. I have taken license with the dob of Jacob, and inserted him between Catherine E. and Elizabeth. The presence of these four Whitaker children, including the fact that all except Elizabeth, show place of birth as Alabama, clearly indicate that their mother Ellen Caroline's maiden name was not Whitaker, but the surname of her previous husband.
