Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Whittaker , Alexander 1611 - (search)
Whittaker, Alexander 1611-
Clergyman; born in England; accompanied Sir Thomas Dale to Virginia in 1611; was a missionary.
Sir Thomas had been active in planting a settlement at Henrico, composed largely of Hollanders, and Mr. Whittaker, who was a decidedly Low Churchman, it was thought would be in sympathy with them, and so he seems to have been.
He was puritanical in his proclivities.
The surplice, says Purchas, was not even spoken of in his parish.
He organized a congregation at Henrico, and there he preached until 1617, when he was drowned.
