Daniel Whitaker
Daniel Whitaker (1800s) was a Strict and Particular Baptist preacher. John Kershaw, having learned of Mr. Whitaker’s gospel labours, recommended he succeed Jonathan Franklin as pastor of the church meeting at Redcross Street Chapel, London.

In 1857, he was appointed pastor of the church meeting at Hanover Chapel, Kent, a role he filled for fourteen years. He lived the rest of his life in London, serving as an itinerate preacher.
