Have you tried the White County HIstorical Society yet? They are highly thought of. If you will write Eddie Best is listed on the front of this site, he may be able to help you. Also, if you would like to have a real research person, I can suggest someone who I have found very helpful to me. Good luck with your search. Linda P.S. My great grandfather came from Jackson, Tennessee in the 1880's and settled in White County. I have long searched for the burial place of his dad named James Stirling Harper. If you have any connection with some group around who knows the cemeteries and such, please guide them my way. He died in 1871 and was a former blacksmith. Thanks!
