Hello All, I am seeking the ancestors of Willis C. White. He was born in Kentucky about 1790. Around 1813 he married Eliza Daniel, who was born in Tennessee, in 1799. All of their children, except the youngest were born in Alabama, and he was born in Mississippi. Willis owned property in Greene and Sumter counties of Alabama and in Kemper County, Mississippi. He died between 1840 and 1844. Willis and Eliza had three sons, John W. White, Willis D. White and Samuel White. I mention these names, because I think they may have been repeated in each generation. John W. White named his oldest son Willis Chandler White. I think that was the middle name of Willis I, also. So basically, I am looking for the ancestors Willis C. White born in Kentucky about 1790, whose father was possibly John W. White, who may have had a brother Samuel, and whose family was probably connected to Chandlers. There was a Samuel White whose will was probated in Noxubee County, Mississippi in July 1839. His only heir was John W. White. Mathew Jackson of Charlotte, Virginia was appointed John's guardian. Except for the similarity of names, I have not been able to determine if the two families are related. It is beginning to appear that Parkinson's Disease is a hereditary illness in my White line. If your White family lived in Kentucky in the period 1790-1820, and there is a history of this malady in your line, we might very well be related. I would appreciate hearing from anyone researching White families in Kentucky, in the period 1790-1820.
