MOTHER∼Jane's brothers were sent to Wisconsin in 1835 to scope out a new place to settle. They found what they wanted and in Spring of 1839 most of the family moved there, her father taking up 1,400 acres of land in Milwaukee county near what is now Brown Deer. Household goods and farm implements were transported in wagons and the cattle were driven in. The Brazeltons were Quakers and had left Tennessee in protest against slavery. Jane saw Milwaukee grow from a few straggling cabins.
Besides the four children linked here, the Whittakers had two others:
William Whittaker (b. 1854) and Sally Whittaker (b. 1867). No graves have been located for these two children.
After James Whittaker died, Jane lived with her widowed daughter, Charlotte Whittaker Connell.
