Listers,   I have been looking for 58 years for information that would lead me to the parents of Amasa White.  This is my first White post in three years.   According to a journal which was kept by my grandfather, George Leon DeBourney White, Sr., his grandfather, Amasa White, was born in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts, in December, 1787, however the information on the headstone of Amasa White, Sr. indicates that he was born in 1785.   Amasa White married Martha (Polly) Tyler, who was born ca. 1793, in Massachusetts, the daughter of John Tyler and <Unknown>. Amasa White died September 16, 1838, in Sandy Creek, Oswego County, New York.   The journal kept by my grandfather says the children of Amasa White and Polly Tyler were Daniel White, Jane White, Dennis White, John White, Mary White and Amasa White, Jr.   Thanks for any input.
