Inscription:
On the back of the gravestone of John and Catharine (Weaver) Whitaker is the following inscription:

"John Whitaker was born in Middletown, Orange County, N.Y. August 14, 1773.

He was the son of Squire and grandson of Richard Whitaker who came to this country before the French War and settled in Orange County. When John was about 1 yrs old his parents removed to Wyoming Valley where they remained until the fatal Indian massacre of July 3, 1778, making their escape with great difficulty and suffering through the wilderness back to Orange County.

In 1786 the family removed to Shohocking Point now Hancock and the next year to the Cookhouse near Deposit. In 1793 he married Catharine Weaver from Mohawk Valley. He lived a few years at Hales Eddy then returned to the old homestead where he remained through life.

He encountered the usual struggles of pioneer life but by industry, temperance and frugality he accumulated a handsome property. He united with the Baptist Church in 1821, was elected Deacon in 1831.

He contributed largely toward the creation of the old Baptist and Presbyterian Churches in this place. He is supposed to have been the last survivor of the Wyoming massacre."
