Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4NC.2ACE/853.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: It can be confusing even for family. My great grandparents were first cousins. William Weaver married Susan Mills, they are my third great grand parents. They had several children including daughters Mary and Eliza. Mary married William Brown and Eliza married William Wilkins. Mary had a daughter Eliza (Brown) and she married George Wilkins (mother Eliza Weaver Wilkins Mary's sister). George Wilkins and Mary Brown are my great grandparents. There are a lot of Williams and Elizas to keep straight. I have not been able to find a link for the Mills. There is another Mills in the family Leticia Mills who married Andrew Weaver. Andrew is either William's brother or cousin, I have not found which yet. Leticia Mills was born about 1806 and Susan Mills about 1810, they could be sisters but have found no proof of that. The DNA sounds interesting.

On one posting you say that Eliza married a George WILKINS and then on this one, you say she married a William WILKINS? Maybe it might be a different generation? Not of the WEAVER MILLS line. Did you say whether or not in the meantime, you found who the parents of Susan MILLS was? Thank you.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4NC.2ACE/1129.1.1.1.2.1.2.1.1 Message Board Post: I can sympathize with your difficulties, Kim. Especially considering the number of White families in the area. A formidable task. Even more difficult if you are working on a Regular Membership of the UELAC. I feel that, in your case, land petitions (which may contain elements of Loyalist service) and grants (which should identify specific holdings) may be even more significant. I have seen no signs of a Loyalist claim for Henry White, nor a petition for a pension (in the 1840's) on his or his wife's behalf. I also suspect he may not have left a will; although since the site Cleadie notes gives his date-of-death, it should be easy to search the York Co. probate records. Land records may be a major clue for you. For example, if you can show that Henry White owned a specific parcel of land; and that, soon after, a White owned that parcel, or a part of that parcel, then the assumption is that the later White was an heir; probably a child. After that, census returns should provide most of the major information needed. Thomas

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4NC.2ACE/1129.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: For the most part, Kim, my discussion of land petitions and grants comes from the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick web site at: http://archives.gnb.ca/Archives/SearchPortal.aspx?L=EN&Key=1 Of particular interest to you should be the petitions as they often contain additional information. For example, Henry White's petition of 1790 is on microfilm F-1037. The databases at the web site do not reproduce or abstract the petitions; only give the names, locations and years. To fully examine them it would be necessary to either go to the PANB at the University of New Brunswick, or order the microfilms by inter-library loan. These microfilms were likely initially made by the LDS, but their numbers would be different. There are at least eight petitions with Henry White which you should examine. In addition to the databases immediately obvious, there are those on the left. In particular, you should study the county guide for York Co. Another is private records, which include directories for 1865, 1867 and 1871. These assist in locating a number of White's, especially in St. Mary's Parish and Douglas Parish. The cemetery section indicates that, in York Co. alone, there are more than 200 White graves; and those are only the ones recorded. There is also the familysearch site at: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp While the information is unreliable (coming from anateurs who submit incorrect assumptions) it also often come from the microfilms mentioned above. Note that in the 1881 census there were 41 Henry White's in New Brunswick. Another option is simply to search for "Henry White" and Loyalist, which often leads to your own postings. Or to the British Legion muster roll at: http://www.royalprovincial.com/Military/Musters/britlegn/blmcp1.htm which suggests a study of the history of that unit may be useful. Henry White, the Black Loyalist, is mentioned at: http://collections.ic.gc.ca/blackloyalists/documents/official/annapolis_muster.htm So, basically, I just look around and try to get a sense of what's happening. For example, many of the surnames mentioned in the petitions and grants are familiar to me, and give me a sense of location not always immediately evident. Ultimately you have to go to a library, and develop a sense of the general history of the period and place. Then when you go to the archives, you have some idea of what you are looking for. For example, a few books on the colonial period of Maryland, followed by a search of the Maryland State Archives land records may be useful. ANother search could be "Henry White" and Nashwaak. This leads me to a defunct site, probably by Cleadie Barnett, but the caches version gives me: In 1780, Henry White settled near the location of the current Wesleyan Church. He was an officer in her majesty's forces. Later, many members of the 42nd Highland Regiment settled further up the river at Lyman's grants. That Henry was an officer may be questionable, and the date, 1780, is ceratinaly questionable, unless he was a Col. Henry White. The connection to the Black Watch is not unlikely as I have a theory that the Watch was reinforced with Highlanders who had settled in the Carolinas. Thomas
