Anyone familiar with the genealogy of the White family of Perquimans County, N.C.? I'm trying to place (genealogically) a Thomas White whose efforts to free his slaves are described in Hiram Hilty's Toward Freedom for All (Friends United Press, 1984). When North Carolina Quakers turned against slavery, it was illegal to free blacks except for meritorious service, which was defined by the court. Some did so anyway and, according to Hilty, there is a surviving 1783 court summons to White to come and pick up his slave, Candice, else she would be sold at a public auction. Does anyone know whose husband, son, father this Thomas White might have been? Mark
