Some descendants call him Wherry Robinson Whitaker.

The name Wherry comes from the Wherry family who resided in Pitt County, N.C. Whether they were related or just family friends is unknown.
Anthony Wherry (1672-1718) from England married Sarah Harmon in Perquimans Precinct, Albemarle Co, N.C. and their daughter Mary Wherry (1710-after 1772) married Nasby Mills of Pitt Co., N.C.

The Keel-Whitaker Families, p. 404: "In the early days of our country there were not enough ministers for every community so they had circuit riders. Sometimes the circuit was not completed but about once every six months. It was therefore lawful for a prospective son-in-law to post a bond, then he and his future wife could start housekeeping. When the circuit rider (minister) came, they would get married. Priscilla (Whitaker) was betrothed to a Robinson. Before the circuit rider made his appearance, Mr. Robinson was struck and killed by lightning, so Wherry was born a Whitaker. Priscilla then married Jesse Keel….
Wherry was born in Pitt County, North Carolina, in 1800. He lived with his parents on Keel's Mountain (Alabama). There is a Wherry Point named after him. He was a great hunter having been taught by the Indians. He killed a panther on Keel's Mountain after 1840. (History of Jackson County, by J.R. Kennamer.)
"Wherry married Luhaney Paseur in 1826. They later moved to Nebo community where he died at age 95. Wherry was administrator of his Uncle John's (John Whitaker III) estate in 1868…. Wherry's estate was settled in 1898."
Luhaney Paseur Whitaker was the sister of Daniel Paseur/Payseur (1793-1861). This is the same Daniel Payseur who some claim was actuality Louis XVII, the son of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, and who was supposedly smuggled out of France after the executions of his parents, taken to North Carolina and adopted by the Paseur/Payseur family. (See The Book of Daniel by Stephen Payseur, and also Bloodlines of the Illuminati by Fritz Springmeire.)

Wherry Whitaker purchased 160 acres in Madison County in 1830 and later six other tracts in Jackson and Madison counties totaling 260 acres.
