A Sketch of Rev. Rice Whitaker and Family
by Mary A. Hansard
Reverend Rice Whitaker owned and lived on
a farm known as the Cave Spring farm. He was among the first settlers
of this county. He looked very old in my first recollection.
He was a preacher of the Anti-Baptist denomination. I do not remember
his wife's maiden name. We always called her Aunt Nancy. I
cannot call to mind the names of any of his family except Joseph Whitaker,
who owned and lived on the old homestead of his father. He was among
our best citizens and much respected. He raised a family also.
Andy Whitaker, who owns a fine residence bordering on New Tazewell and
other fine property also, is a son of Joseph Whitaker. He married
a Miss Roark, daughter of Timothy Roark. Mrs. Brooks, late widow
of Calvin Brooks, and Mrs. James Sutton were daughters of his. I
cannot give a minute description of the Whitaker family, but suffice it
to say that all the Whitakers of this county, so far as I know, are descendants
of the said Reverend Rice Whitaker, who passed away perhaps sixty years
ago.
Some info from P. G. Fulkerson papers:
Whitaker, Rice Oct. 22, 1980
Rev. Rice Whitaker, a Baptist minister, came to the Cave Springs
section from N. C. at an early data. His children were: Andrew,
who married Fannie Williams; Timothy, married Peggy Southern; Matthew,
married Nellie Estes; Betsy, married Travis Brooks; Clinton; William; Joseph.
Matthew Whiteaker and his son were both killed by a squad of
Confederate commanded by Littrell of Lee Co. during the Civil War.
Timothy Whiteaker of New Tazewell is the son of Andrew.

Some info from Gary at Garberbnuts@aol.com
Andrew Whitaker
was md. to Fanny Williams. There is no evidence that she was
ever a Roark . This misconception came from the Hansard book
of
recollections on the people of Tazewell Tenn, that she could remember.
She
states that all her memories may not be correct. She stated that
Andrew
Whitaker md. a Miss Roark and from this many people concluded that
Fanny was
a maiden Roark. I researched the Roark name in Claiborne Co.
and could not
come up with any older families with a daughter named Fanny Roark,
however on
her death certificate, Timothy Whitaker names his mother's maiden name
as
Fanny Williams.
There is an old Timothy and Sarah Roark family in Claiborne
Co. but they do
not have a daughter named Fanny , so I had to go with the information
that
Fanny was a Williams and Mrs. Hansard must have gotten mixed up when
recalling the information.
They had the following children:
11 i. Sarah, F (1835-1916)
12 ii. Timothy R., M (1839-1923)
iii. William, M. Born abt 1842/1843 in TN.

Some info from Gary at Garbernuts@aol.com
Travis Brooks b. abt 1821 is believed to be the son of Nancy Brooks
Nevilles
Brooks Rowlett. She b. 1788 the dau. of Bartholomew Brooks and
Susannah
Smith Brooks of Prince Edward Co. VA. Nancy md. first James Nevilles,
secondly, an unknown Brooks, as evidenced in the will of her third
husband
Mack Rowlett, who transferred land in the will to Laura, Anna, and
Zachariah
Brooks, his wife Nancy's children by and I quote :" a former husband."
Travis and Andrew and maybe other Brooks' of the time may have been
sons of
Nancy's Brooks husband by a former wife of his. Often times in
a second
marriage of this kind a husband and the wife both came into the marriage
with
children from their prior spouse.
Nancy married her Brooks husband after 1820 in VA, as she is listed
on the
1820 VA census as Nancy Nevilles head of household. There are
no mg records
for the 1820 to 1830 era in Prince Edward Co. or neighboring Charlotte
Co.
VA. So we next find Nancy listed as Nancy Brooks head of household
in 1830
Claiborne Co TN census. Her Brooks husband died or divorced.
Records very
scant for this decade.
Next Nancy Brooks md. Mackness Rowlett in 1838 and is listed in his
1848
will.
The connection with Travis is that he and Zachariah Brooks both married
a
Whitaker, Travis marrying Elizabeth Whitaker, and Zachariah marrying
Sarah
Whitaker niece of Elizabeth Whitaker. Travis and Zachariah split
the land
that Zachariah inherited from his stepfather Mack Rowlett. Travis
and
Zachariah both were in the 8th Tenn Cavalry Co. F. fighting with
the Union.
One theory is that Mack Rowlett only named the youngest Brooks children
of
Nancy in his will because they were her natural children, if the other
Brooks
siblings came from her former husband's first wife, then he might be
less
likely to name them in his will.
Hope this isn't too confusing but it took years of research and travel
to
come to these conclusions.

better job in Middlesboro. Supposedly his wife introduced
him to the
idea, but that is questionable. At any rate it returned
her to the locale
of her family in Claiborne County. I have recently been
told by his
daughter-in-law that he and his wife lived in Lone Mountain,
Claiborne
County, at the latter part of their lives, and that his
wife died later
in time than he did.
As to when he moved into Claiborne County from Middlesboro,
my guess
would be that it happened after he lost his home in Middlesboro
in the
Great Depression.

WHITAKER, MATILDA - Feb. 15, 1951
Funeral services for the late Mrs. Matilda
Elizabeth Whitaker will be held at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon at the Cave
Springs Baptist Church.
Mrs. Whitaker, who was the widow fo the late
Columbus Whitaker, died Tuesday morning at the Middlesboro Hospital after
a few days illness.
Mrs. Whitaker was a woman of outstanding character
and was beloved by all who knew her. She reared a large family and
their achievements are due to large measure to the spendid example she
gave them of Christian fortitude and responsibility. She was a faithful
wife and with the passing of her husband a short twelve months ago, her
health failed and she never fully recovered from the shock of his loss.
Mrs. Whitaker will be missed, not only in the present or the immediate
future but in the years to come for all who needed material or spiritual
consolation were sure to find it through her when they called on her.

JOE WHITAKER
In memory of Rev. and Mrs. Joe Whitaker.
Joe passed away July 1, 1973. Persilla passed away May 19, 1965.
Preacher Joe and Persilla left us many years ago. We still remember
your loving ways more than you’ll ever know. You were an inspiration
to us and so many. In love and kindness you gave us all plenty.
Some day we’ll join you in glory, because of old preachers like you, who
kept telling the story. Sadly missed by children and grandchildren.

“PREACHER JOE” WHITAKER
Joseph Paris Whitaker was born July 25, 1895 in Tennessee.1 He was a descendant of two pioneers of Claiborne County, Tennessee: Claiborne Whitaker and Rev. Rice W. Whitaker. Joe was a well known and popular Baptist preacher in Claiborne County, Tennessee for many years.
“In early youth, Joe P. Whitaker accepted Christ as his personal
Savior. He says it was during a revival at The Old Log Church.
His cousin, Harvey Cunningham, was praying with him. The old Log
Church he speaks of was Liberty missionary Baptist Church, before the present
church was built. Young Joe was baptized and became a member of the
Liberty church. He felt God was calling him to preach the Gospel.
The youth didn’t think he was qualified to be a preacher and he kept trying
to put his calling aside. He married at the age of 16 years and was
now working to support his wife and baby son. Since he had been appointed
to open prayer service at the Little Valley School house, he decided he
would try to preach a little on that night. Young Joe was having
a hard struggle, God’s spirit was telling him to preach. The spirit
of the devil was telling him he couldn’t preach. He left home going
to his work that morning with a heavy heart. Then it dawned on him
that he wouldn’t have to go to prayer meeting, it would be too late after
he finished his days work and walked home. He went on working with
an easy mind, thinking what a good excuse he would have for not going to
prayer meeting. About the middle of the afternoon, Mr. Kesterson,
his boss, told him some cattle needed feeding at a certain barn, for him
to feed them, then he could go on home. Young Joe’s heart got heavy.
He knew it wouldn’t take long to feed the cattle, he would have plenty
of time to get home and go to prayer meeting.
The struggle within began. What was he to do. He
decided he would go and try to preach, but he would leave his wife and
baby at home. He didn’t want his wife to see him make a failure and
he felt sure that was what would happen if he tried to preach. He
was feeling at ease again, think his wife wouldn’t be there to see him
make a failure
Although it was early when he reached home, his wife had supper
ready and she and the baby were dressed for prayer meeting. Here
was a problem for the young man. He began making excuses for his
wife to stay home. He told her that they couldn’t take the baby out,
she would have to stay home with it. His wife was determined to go.
They started out, young Joe was carrying the baby. The nearer to
the school house they came, the greater the struggle was.
At last he told his wife to take the baby. He took off
up a hollow, fell to his knees, and began to pray. He said, “God
if You want me to preach, help me tonight, if you don’t, just let me be
a failure.”
Young Joe took his text from 1 Samuel 3:10 - “Speak for thy servant
hereth.” God did speak and His servant Joe heard. He preached
that night and now after more than 50 years he is still preaching.
Joe P. Whitaker was ordained to the ministry by the Liberty Baptist
Church in May, 1916. He was called to pastor that same church in
May, 1918. It was the first church he pastored and he has been pastor
of Liberty Baptist Church three different periods of time. Other
churches he pastored are Cave Springs, Wolfenbarger Chapel, Rob Camp, Hopewell,
Seals Chapel, Big Spring Union, Oak Grove, Mt. Gilead, Cedar Grove, Riverside,
Bethel, Blairs Creek, New Salem, Little Sycamore, Springdale, Cedar Flat
and Red Hill Chapel in Claiborne County, Hickory Valley in Union County
and Beech Grove in Virginia.
Preacher Joe helped organize the following churches: Forge
Ridge, Summit Bridge, Lone Holly, New Hope, Rileys Memorial, Little Valley,
Red Hill Chapel, Popular Grove and Fair View. He has preached in
Claiborne, Hancock, Union and Grainger Counties in Tennessee. In
Lee County, Virginia, Bell County, Kentucky and Monroe, Michigan.
Preacher Joe has had his troubles and trials. A tornado
hit his place a few years ago and destroyed all his buildings except his
home. Telling about that experience Preacher Joe says it was a miracle
how all the buildings around the home were blown away and he and his wife
were left safe in their home.
Fertilizer he had for his crops, stored in the barn, had a protective
cover of planks blown over it when the barn blew away. The fertilizer
was unharmed. The smokehouse was blown against the dwelling but the
meat wasn’t damaged. The tornado took the shed where Preacher Joe
had his truck. The only damage to the truck was the little mirror
broken.
At first sight of the havoc the tornado had wrought, Preacher
Joe was discouraged. His wife reminded him they had so much to be
thankful for, they were both safe and their home not damaged.
The tornado came in the night. The next day was Preacher
Joe’s regular meeting time at Rob Camp. How could he go off and leave
such a mess? Even the road was blocked by fallen trees but Preacher
Joe was thankful in his heart that everything was as well with him as it
was. He went on to Rob Camp and filled his appointment. When
he came home friends and neighbors were there. They assured him they
would help replace all that had been destroyed. They kept their word.
Men worked to rebuild buildings. Women brought food cooked and served.
Preacher Joe said that it was only a short time until all the buildings
were replaced.”2
Claiborne County marriage records show that Joseph P. Whitaker married Salla Brooks in 1911.3 1920 census records (and her tombstone) show his wife as Siller, age 25, and children: Vern, age 7, John, age 5, Martha, age 3 years and one month and Annie M., age 1 year and one month.4 Other known children were Thelma, Esther, Ben, and Virgil.5
“Preacher Joe’s wife, and faithful companion was sick for a long period of time before she passed away. God gave him strength to care for her, although he had a heart condition and doctors had told him not to work and not to preach. Preacher Joe had more faith in God than he does in doctors.”6
“In 1966 Preacher Joe had given up pastoring Churches, it hadn’t been long since his wife had died and his health wasn’t good. God restored his health and gave him another good woman for a wife. He married Stella Williams, a widow.”7 Claiborne County marriage records show that Joseph Paris Whitaker married Stella Yeary Williams in 1966.8 “They were a blessing to each other. Preacher Joe was elected pastor of the New Salem Baptist Church in May 1966 and was pastor for a year. He was then elected pastor of the Red Hill Baptist Church June 1966 and served as their pastor until June 1973, when he became sick. . . . he was moderator of the Cumberland Gap Association for 18 years.”9
“On July 1, 1973, Preacher Joe left this world for that Heavenly
Country.
. . .
Preacher Joe’s funeral was held at the Liberty Baptist Church
July 3, 1973. Rev. Paul Janeway, pastor of the church opened the
services. Rev. Henry Fletcher preached the funeral. Rev. Fletcher
and Preacher Joe were ordained to the ministry the same year and had worked
together for the Lord in revivals through the years, each strengthening
the other.
. . .
Preacher Joe’s words will follow him through the countless number
of people he brought the Gospel to and helped over the years.”10
Joe was the son of Allen Whitaker and his second wife Martha Cunningham.11 Allen was born November 11, 1865 and died October 2, 1887. Martha was born March 23, 1872 and died February 28, 1909. Both are buried in the Cunningham Cemetery in Claiborne County, Tennessee.12
Allen was the son of Joseph Whitaker and his second wife Mary Malinda Whitaker. Joseph was born April 11, 1836 and died September 30, 1905. Mary was born January 14, 1846 and died November 4, 1929. They are both buried in the Cave Springs Cemetery.13
Joseph was the son of Claiborne Whitaker, pioneer of Claiborne
County. "Claiborne Whitaker came to Cave Springs from North Carolina
about 1815. He married a Holland. His children were:
John, who removed to Whitesburg; William, married Mary Hatfield;
Giles, married Eliza Ferguson; Joseph, married Malinda Whitaker;
Vina, married James Rice. William and Giles Whitaker were Confederate
soldiers."14
Mary Malinda was the daughter of Matthew Whitaker. "Matthew
Whitaker, born 1824, was a Union soldier. He came home for a visit.
He had his daughter go get him a good cold drink of water while he lay
on the bed resting. The girl ran back and told her father that the
rebels were coming. Matthew ran out the back door and ran through
the woods. They shot him in the back and he fell across a chestnut
log. (They were Quantrall and his Raiders that killed him.)
They also killed his son (his oldest) by hanging him. This
was November 16, 1864. The boy was born March 29, 1848. They
are buried in a grave side by side. Rice Whitaker (Matthew's Dad)
is buried close to them. Rice Whitaker and many of his descendants
are buried in the Cave Springs cemetery."15
Matthew was the son of Rev. Rice W. Whitaker, pioneer of Claiborne County. "Rev. Rice Whitaker, a Baptist minister, came to the Cave Springs section from North Carolina, at an early date. His children were: Andrew, who married Fannie Williams; Timothy, married Peggy Southern; Matthew, married Nellie Estes; Betsy, married Travis Brooks; Clinton; William; Joseph. Matthew Whitaker and his son were both killed by a squad of Confederates commanded by Quantrall of Lee County during the Civil War. Timothy Whiteaker of New Tazewell is the son of Andrew."16
