Surnames: George White, brother to Oscar White, Telfair Cnty GA Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ad.2ADI/1341.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: i saw your posting on a genealogy website for Telfair county GA. i also am looking for info on White family members in the same county. i am in NC. my mother's father was Woodrow Wilson White, son of George W. White. i realize this is a stretch :), but i thought i'd pass along what i've been able to find in case you thought there is any connection between our families. George (married to Sara Jane Cannington) lived in Telfair county. He was a share cropper with 7 children (all born in GA), but moved to NC (Gaston county) to look for work in mills. i'm not sure when the family moved, but would guess about 1920. at this point the only other info i have is based on George's obituary: George W. White - died 04/01/1940 (not sure of year), Mount Holly, NC 64 years old when he died, so born about 1875/1876 surviving children: daughter-Essie (don't know spouse's name) daughter-Effie (married Doe Whitaker) daughter-Jane (?) son-Woodrow (married my maternal grandmother, Cleo Ester Beaty) son-Troy (married Marcel, don't know last name) son-Freddie (married Martha, don't know last name) surviving siblings, including where they lived at the time of George's death: JA White (Baxley GA) Oscar White (Lumber City GA) Thomas White (Helna GA) Mrs. Josephine Larfavors (Agusta GA) Mrs. Sabie Dennis (Lumber City GA) Mrs. Rozella Parkins (Macon GA) additional info i've collected: George had another daughter-don't know name, but died at about 5 while the family still lived in GA. my mother told me she chocked on a peanut (??:) sounds like my great-great grandfather stephen was your great grandfather as well :) i'd appreciate any info you could share on the Whites in GA. i'll be happy to share info i have on Ocscar's brother George. thanks! :)
