Whitaker and Snipes family.

Biographical notes:

The connection between the Whitaker and Snipes families is unclear from these papers. Members of the Whitaker family resided in Halifax County, N.C., in the early 19th century. Eli P. Walker moved with his immediate family to Leon County, Fla., ca. 1835. Members of the Snipes family lived in Hinds County, Miss.; in Person County, N.C.; and in Webster County, Ky.

Others mentioned in the papers include Balaam C. Burgess and Ensley Burgess of Randolph County, N.C., and William Dunn Moseley (1795-1863), speaker of the North Carolina Senate, 1832-1835, and the first governor of the state of Florida, 1845-1849.
