Correspondence 03/13/02 passenger # 21 Whitaker
I am the great-great-great granddaughter of James T. Whittaker.  
James T. Whittaker was a native of Lancashire, England and worked in 
the cotton mills.  It is believed that he emigrated due to the Lancashire 
Weavers Riots of 1826 where for 4 days workers attacked local weaving 
sheds and smashed over 1100 of the hated power looms.  The riots caused 
wide-spread damage and put thousands out of work.

James Whittaker settled in the Boston area and worked in several of 
the area mills including those in the Lowell area.  He finally settled 
in Saugus, Massachusetts where he died in 1878.

He and his wife, Mary Pilling Whittaker, had 9 children - 6 of whom 
survived to adulthood.  Karen Whittaker
