Various newspaper articles give her name as Jane Scott Parker (Charlotte (N.C.)

Joshua Whitaker (1676-1719), a Quaker, married Jane Parker. Their children are listed with Grindleton, Yorkshire birthplaces. Their first three children were born in Grindleton, England. The birthplace of the fourth and fifth child is listed only as Yorkshire, England in the LDS Ancestral File.
By one account, Joshua Whitaker was killed on the streets of London during the religious uprising of 1715. Another says he was stabbed in the street.
A second account states he was "killed in 1719 in a religious war on the Isle of Man." A third account, apparently written by a descendant many years later, gives the death date September 26, 1719 but adds that he died in Linwood near Lexington, Rowan County, North Carolina, and is buried in the Cemetery of Jersey Baptists in Rowan County, NC. The place of death and burial in this last account is inconsistent with any other record but deserves further investigation (perhaps confusing him with a grandson or great-grandson).
The Parish Register of St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate, contains an entry regarding Joshua Whitaker's burial, showing he indeed died Sept. 24-26, 1719:
Name: Joshua Whittaker
Burial Date: 26 Sep 1719
Parish: St Botolph, Bishopsgate

After Joshua Whitaker's death, his wife Jane and her four children fled to Timahoe, County Clare, Ireland.
Two sons, William Whitaker (b.1701) and Peter Whitaker (1703-1758), immigrated by 1721 to Chester County, Pennsylvania, and the rest of the family followed about three years later.
"Irish Quaker Arrivals in Pennsylvania, 1682-1750," by Albert Cook Myers (Baltimore, MD.: Genealogical Publication Company, 1964), page 85: Jane Whitaker was received "from Dublin, Ireland" in the New Garden Monthly Meeting at Chester, PA on 29 February, 1730.
A certificate of removal was issued 16 Aug 1722 for daughter Katherine from the Society of Friends in Ireland when she was coming to 'Pensilvania'.
Affidavit of the Rev. William Garrett Whitaker, who for many years researched the reported "Whitaker Fortune," states in part regarding Jane Parker Whitaker: "The above named Jane (Parker) Whitaker, who was the daughter of John Parker, and Elizabeth (Banister) Parker, was born in 1673 and married Joshua Whitaker in about 1696, came to America in 1722 after the death of her husband in 1718. She died in Chester Co., Penn. 1727."
Elizabeth Banister Parker was a cousin of Lady Mary Bourchier Whitaker whose sons had been with the earliest settlers to Jamestown, Virginia, a century earlier.
Rev. Whitaker corresponded with numerous Whitaker descendants, perused all records available during his years of research and knew the Whitaker genealogy better than any other living person of his time. He obviously was wrong, however, on the date of Jane Whitaker's death.
ThePeerage.com also gives her death as occurring in Pennsylvania but does not give the date. ThePeerage gives birth as 1675 at Leicester, Leicestershire, England (see #408121).
More recent researchers have speculated that Jane Parker Whitaker may have died in Ireland. Some others have speculated that she died in New Jersey where one daughter and son may have settled "after 1721" (one says between 1721-45).
It was also in the correspondence of Rev. William G. Whitaker and other Whitaker descendants that Joshua Whitaker was identified as one of the sons of Rev. Robert Whitaker and Margaret Lisle. Records confirming his parentage are otherwise scarce. Rev. Robert Whitaker was described as a Presbyterian minister in most accounts, Puritan or Quaker in others. Lady Margaret Lisle was the daughter of Dame Alicia (Alice) Lisle, a Puritan beheaded in 1685. She was the widow of Lord John Lisle, "the Regicide," a Cromwellian who, though of royal descent himself, was involved in the execution of King Charles. Rev. Robert Whitaker, a "dissenting minister" described as "an itinerate minister" in several Lisle accounts, fathered a large family whose baptisms were recorded in several different churches. Son Joshua's baptism is not found.
"Whitakers, 1086-1990" by Bill Whitaker, who wrote: "Since the Quakers despised the Church of England, most of them were banished from England after the Restoration. The Quaker families of Carleton, Scott, Parker and Marcus were among the banished, along with the Whitakers."
"The Whitaker Family of Buncombe County, NC and Genealogies of Reed, Harper, and Wright Families" by Bruce Whitaker.

However, "The Descendants of Alice Lisle" by Robert Marillier, The Genealogist, vol. VI (London, 1882), p. 14 (of 12-15) and ThePeerage.com give his father as Robert Whitaker Sr.
Some family trees say Robert Hugh Whitaker.
The Whitakers (Whittaker, Whitacre, and variants) connect back to the Whitaker family of The Holme, Lancashire, England, and whose cousins settled at Jamestown, Virginia.
A descendant of Joshua Whitaker and Jane Bannister Parker visited the Holme a number of times and purchased some furniture from the elderly sisters residing at the estate before it was sold out of the Whitaker family for the first time in 1929. Among the pieces acquired by the American Dr. Whitaker were the Holme dining room table and chairs made from the ancient yew tree planted at the Holme by Dr. Thomas Dunham Whitaker the antiquarian, and brought them to Dr. Whitaker's plantation in Louisiana.
