It's possible that Cullen was not living with his parents at age 9, or even missed in the 1860 census. Or he could very well be Simeon's nephew. I'm pretty sure he's not Simeon's grandson; Simeon's oldest son, Peter, was only about 14 years old when Cullen White was born. Unfortunately, I have no information on Simeon's father and can only speculate about his brothers. Dennis White named a son Simeon, and Peter White named a son Dennis, and neither of those were common names in south Georgia in the mid-1800s, so it's a safe bet that Simeon, Dennis, and Peter are brothers. They were all living in Telfair Co. in 1850, as was Minor White. Peter does not have a son of the right age in the 1860 census. I have not found Dennis in the 1860 census. In searching the 1860 census index at Ancestry.com (which I believe is an every name index), I see that there is a Cullen White listed in Georgia. That is, I think, your best line of inquiry. Hopefully it' will be the right Cullen, and he'll be living w/ his parents. I'd look it up for you, except my subscription is currently lapsed so I can't. My White family tree is at: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mceachin&id=I0324 If anyone finds any further clues about Cullen, I'd be interested in hearing from you, as it might shed some light on my ggg-grandfather Simeon White.
