Thank you for this history lesson, James! I enjoyed it because I have Jarboe, White and Alvey in my line. I have a deed of conveyance with sellers Lee M. White, Charles A. White, James H. White, and Mattie White his wife from the Cherokee Nation to Buyers Francis White and John V. White of Grayson County, KY and I have wondered why these Whites were in the Indian Territory. This explains it a little! Do you know or have any information on these people?

Interested in some trivia? This is one of those long posts. Its been e-ons since Ive posted the list, so I hope you will bare with it. Perhaps there may be some appeal in this post for those that have followed their Marylandancestors out of Kentucky.
