Scott, Many of these people are mentioned in the book "Nicholas Cobb Descendants, Neighbors and Relatives 1613-1983", written by the late Joe H. Cobb and I think he lived in Tennessee. This is what is said in the book about two of them. I believe that Charlton is one of my ancestors. Charlton White Charlton was son of Martha White of Bertie County. Martha was formerly Martha Hughs (spelled Hughes today) and the daughter of George and Ann Hughs. Ann Hughs was the daughter of John Cake (I think this name is supposed to be Cale, common name then in Bertie). The records indicate that Martha White's husband was named Solomon. Charlton White was enumerated in the 1830 census of Bertie County. He was listed with one son and two daughters under five years of age. Martha White made her will in Bertie in October of 1832. She named as legatees her sons George, Charlton and Thomas White. Her daughters were named Polly, Elizabeth, Nelly and Patsy White. Her will was probated at the February term of court in 1833. Charlton moved to Haywood some time during the span of 1830 to 1832 if the birthplaces of his children as listed in the 1850 census are correct. Charlton's wife was named Charlotte. They had five children at the time of the census. They were Alfred, 20 and born in NC; Cintha, age 18 and born in Tennessee; James, 14, Susan, 11, and Martha, 3. Charlton White and Jacob Hughs were enumerated as adjacent heads of households in the 1840 census of Haywood. Since Charlton's mother was a Hughs, Jacob Hughs was probably a relative of Charlton. (I am going to paraphrase info on Bembrey White to make it shorter.) John Bembery White, born 1801 in Bertie County, parents unknown. Census of 1830 says he was head of a household with two sons under five and two daughters under ten. Next head of household on the census was Hamilton White, so they may have been brothers. Bembery married in Bertie County Penelope Trottman, born in 1810 according to 1850 census of Haywood County, where they moved between 1831-1833. Daughter Penelope Trottman White was born in 1833 in NC. Daughter Margaret was born in 1833 in TN.

For the most part, they all stayed and raised their families and their families stayed and so on until my parents, who grew up in the same county in the 1950s. Makes it pretty interesting because I can track down the remains of their old houses, burial grounds, obits and lots of information about them. The names I have discovered so far, and the dates when they left Bertie are: John Dawson Castellaw - 1834 John Hardy Cobb - 6 March 1834 John Bembery ³Bem² 1831 - 1833 Penelope White 1831 ­ 1833 Bembery¹s brother Charlton White William Watridge ­ 1836 - 1838 Millie Thompson Watridge ­ 1836 ­ 1838 Dempsey Nowell (Hertford Co., NC) Elizabeth Rawls Solomon Williams Edward Brantley Thomas ³T.A² Lovelace Unity Shirley If anyone has any information about these people when they were in Bertie, I would greatly appreciate it. If you want to know anything about of these people once they arrived in Haywood Co, TN, let me know.

Thanks for all the detail. They have one of those books at the library in Brownsville, TN so when I get there I try and copy as much as I can. This is really helpful. Are you related to the Whites? Attached is a photo I took at Zion Cemetery of Penelope and Bembery. Thanks for sharing the information you had!

Scott, Yes, the Whites are mine, if I remember what I read correctly, Charlton owned a store and sawmill in Haywood County. The area was flooded for a dam at some point, so it's under water now. I have been researching the family a lot within the past year and have made pretty good progress. The Cobb book is good for research because each name is indexed in the back, makes work go much faster. My great-grandfather was Alfred Jackson White, married Martha Floyd. My grandfather Thomas Jackson White, married Effie Houston. My father was Ernest Vane White, married Melba Perry.
