>>I just read the article about "Granyy White" on Nashville History. >>I wondered if anyone is descended from her line, or the children she >>raised??? Here are links to two stories about Granny White. One is from a newspaper account written and published in 1808 from a personal interview with Lucinda "Granny' White. The article is reproduced on the Friends of Metro Archives website - _http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/granny.html_ (http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/granny.html) The other is an essay written by Doris Boyce and published by Mike Slate and Kathy Lauder on their Nashville Historical Newsletter - _http://pages.prodigy.net/nhn.slate/nh00017.html_ (http://pages.prodigy.net/nhn.slate/nh00017.html) This one indicates that Granny White was the widow of an early pioneer Zachariah White, but that is unlikely. Zachariah White was killed at Nashville in 1781 and left heirs in Pennsylvania. The writer may be a descendant of one of the boys reared by Granny White. I'm sure Mike Slate could put you in touch with Doris Boyce. His email is; [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) The two stories have similarities, but give different accounts of who the little boys were and how Lucinda/Lucy White came to raise them. Whether or not the boys were biologically her grandchildren, Lucy raised them as such and they used the surname White. I have seen her will and I believe she left her property to Willis White.
