Note on Husband: Mark WHITAKER - shared note

There seem to be strong reasons for believing that the Marke Whiteakers (that is how he spelt his name when he signed documents) who appears in the Tax rolls of Spesutij Hundred for 1702, 1703, 1704, 1705 and 1706 is the same Mark Whiteakers who was baptised in Thornhill in 1677. 1. The spelling is the same as in the Thornhill registers 2. The naming patterns used for his children are the same as the naming patterns for his presumed ancestors. 3. Mark seems to be of some status when he arrived in New England. So were his presumed father and grandfather in Yorkshire. 4. The dates fit. 5. Mark of Thornhill's younger siblings died young but he seems to have survived. 6. Mark Whitaker (and all spelling variants) is not a common name but there is a group of Mark Whitakers in the Dewsbury are in the seventeenth century. But these are all reasons for making the identification - they do not prove that Mark of Maryland is the same man as Mark of Thornhill. He went to Cambridge: Whiteacre, Mark Adm. sizar at EMMANUEL, Nov. 27, 1693. Of Yorkshire. S. of Thomas, of Thornhill. Bapt. Nov. 8, 1677. ' Matric. 1697. (J. B. Peace.)
