My new friend, Harry Thompson, at the Battle of Plymouth Museum, said I should contact you, as you are sons and daughters and expatriots of Bertie County, mostly living in Texas. He added that you guys are really good at helping fellow Bertie folks out. Our search is blank before the birth of Rev. Harvey J. White in 1796 in Roxobel. Harvey has a window dedivated in memorium to him at Connaritsa Baptist Church, four miles east/south of Aulander. We believe that he had a son Benjamin, who may be Benjamin Harvey White, who married Mary Elizabeth Jenkins, fought for the Union in the Battle of Plymouth, and was MIA and possibly captured. There is no information beyond that. The next part is somewhat confusing. Based on the 1880 census, he left his widow with three sons, John Henry White(5)being the oldest, and who later becomes my father's father. Any help you may be able to provide would be most appreciated.
