So many with the same name gets very confussing. Yes, I am a direct decendant of William Cooper White through his daughter Mary C. White that married Thomas Beal. I am also searching for the Bell family from the New Castle area and the Jenkins family. Philadelphia Jenkins was born in New Castle NH about 8 Oct 1784. I have no idea who her father was but she married Barnabus Crucy Yeaton about 8 Nov 1801 in New Castle, NH Also trying to find the Bell family from Grace Bell born abt. 1755 the daughter of Shadrach Bell and his wife Rachel. Grace Bell married Richard Yeaton about 1775. Mehitable Bell who married William Cooper White may also be connected to Grace Bell who married Richard Yeaton but, I have no idea if this is true or not. Just thought that back then, many families in small areas married the sons and daughters from the same families. Thank you again for the correct path to follow. Respectfully Yours, Angie
