A personal family history written by his great granddaughter says his parents were from England. My Robert White was married to Eleanor Hope. They had the following children: William White (Secty. of State,NC), Benajah White, Rigden White and Elizabeth White. Robert White was born in 1736 and died in 1803 at Lenoir County, NC. Most of his descendants stayed in the counties of Wake, Craven, Greene, Dobbs and Lenoir in North Carolina. I'm looking at the Vine Swamp Creek deeds with interest too. The family history I have mentions that Robert White was a colonel in the Revolutionary Army. Of possible interest to you is an abstracted entry in, I believe, The Raleigh North Carolina Star (Weekly) dated Fri 4 Oct 1811 (159:4) and also in the Raleigh Register Fri 18 Oct 1811 (3:5.) "Died at his seat in Nash County...Capt. Nathan Whitehead. Hope this may help you in some way. Colleen
