Alice, I also descend from both the Thayer and Aldrich families, and my husband descends from the White family. We have not been successful in finding our White connections. Do you have any info on Hiram White, born 1 June 1814 in Smithville, Chenango, New York? Census records say his parents were both born in Connecticut, but we have never been able to find them. Hiram married Lorenda Vickrey in 1835 in Troupsburg, NY. But it is his parents we are looking for. Thanks, Nan
