==Early life and career==
Whitaker was born in the city of Shelbyville, located in Shelby County, Kentucky. He attended Bethany College in modern-day West Virginia.〔Eicher, p. 565.〕 Whitaker was working as a lawyer when the Mexican–American War began.〔Warner, p. 555.〕 In 1847 Whitaker volunteered for service during the war with Mexico, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 6th Kentucky Infantry Regiment beginning on October 1. He served until July 21, 1848, when he was mustered out of the volunteers.〔
After Mexico, Whitaker returned to home to Kentucky, where he began running a large farm. He then became a criminal law attorney in Shelbyville. Later he was elected as a legislator to the Kentucky General Assembly, serving until the American Civil War was well underway. While in the state senate, Whitaker proposed the resolution that set Kentucky on the side of the Union, ending the state's brief period of neutrality in the war.〔Warner, p. 556.〕
