Looking for information about William White who stated in his Rev War pension application that he was born Jan 10, 1755 at Fauquier Co VA [of course -place was still called Prince William Co VA until 1759]. RW S1735 VA. He must have had a wife and children in Fauquier Co VA but too many White's to separate them enough to help my research. I found his father's will; William White Sr died 1797 Haymarket, Prince William Co VA, [married 1st Mary ____, mother of all his children]. Wife at his death was widow of James Bailey, Anne Bailey. William and Ann had no children together but William White became guardian of 3 of her children, William, Nannie and Thomas Bailey. William White Sr' will was probated in 1804 Fauq Co VA. Children listed were; [1.] Elizabeth md Feb 28, 1786 James Bailey [2.] Jemima/Mima md Jan 10, 1791 George Green Waddell; [3.] John [RW soldier] md his step sister, Ann Bailey; [4.] William Jr. b Jan 10, 1755 md 1st ?, md 2nd Elizabeth ___; [5.] Nancy Ann md Oct 31, 1786 William Waddell Sr. [6.] Hannah b ca 1765, md Dec 13, 1787 Thomas Russell James [7.] Sarah b ca 1768 md Aug 25, 1789 George Russell James [8.] Carr born ca 1777 md Feb 19, 1795 Nancy Donaldson. All were married at Fauquier Co VA. most removed to Mason Co KY ca 1800 exceptions; Sarah and George lived at Prince William Co VA at least until 1824 when George died- George was Adm of his father in law's will. William White Jr. lived at Rowan/Stokes Co NC. In William White Jr.'s Rev War pension application filed in 1832 from Lincoln Co TN where he died in May 1833, he said "after the Rev War, I relocated to Rowan Co NC and lived there for abt 30 years". I found him on Reedy Creek in upper center of old Rowan Co purchasing land from Isaac White of Wilkes Co NC in 1800- no relationship mentioned. His children were born in Stokes Co [section that used to be Rowan Co NC]. He married 2nd Elizabeth ____ b 1775 NC. He was aged 58 when their first child together was born, [1.] Martha b 1814. [2nd child] born 1816 James Franklin, [3rd Child] born 1818 Carr Bailey and last child , [4th] William Clark White, was first child born in Lincoln Co TN on Aug 1820. This family appeared on 1820 Lincoln Co TN census for 1st time. All of William and Elizabeth ____ White's children were considered minors when William White Jr died in May 1833 ,Lincoln Co TN. William's son, James Franklin White, was a neighbor to a married daughter of Edith Chapman White and husband, James Tucker who were married at Stokes Co NC in 1814. James and Edith raised their children in Lincoln Co. TN. Marriage in Stokes Co NC of interest to me are; 1. Edith Chapman White [born ca 1792 NC,died aft 1870 census Lincoln Co TN] married Aug 14, 1814 Stokes Co NC to James Tucker 2. Hannah White married William Ledford 30 Aug 1812, Bondsman was Thomas Hitchcock. 3. Charity Ledford married James Tucker in 1836 Stokes Co NC I wonder if Edith Chapman White was married first to a Chapman or if Chapman was her mother's maiden name? I wonder if Edith and Hannah White were sisters?? I wonder if both Edith and Hannah White were daughters of William White by his, unknown to me, first marriage in VA? I have been at a 'Brick Wall' tracing this family back for almost 20 years. I would appreciated ANY and ALL clues. Ginny Keefer nee White PS the name Carr Bailey is heavy in my White line. William White Sr fought beside Carr Bailey Sr, a famous Indian Fighter. William White Jr fought beside Carr Bailey Jr. Both of above William White's named a son Carr, and Carr Bailey White. We have White's in my line living today with middle name of Bailey.There were intermarriages between these two families.

Hi Ginny: I want to just clearify, the info you listed for the 4th child(of your Rev.War soldier William White and 2nd wife, Elizabeth ___)/being William Clark White: "was first child born in LCT in Aug. 1820". The "statement" caught my attention, as my hubby's ELUSIVE, brick wall, Richard L. McGehee was born in LCT in 1815, but I have not proven, other than via the Census and even one of those has incorrect age! I believe you mean the above William is the Couple's first child born in LCT, tho he was their 4th child? Am I thinking correctly about this? Fondly, Bobbie in TX Virginia L.

I received a note that I was not clear about my William Clark White. On my E Mail I listed [4.] before his name indicating he was the fourth child, then I went further listing he was the first child born in Lincoln Co TN. I am sorry if I confused anyone else too. William Clark White was the last child born to William White Jr and his 2nd wife,Elizabeth ____. After stating he was their last child, I noted he was also the first child of theirs that was born in Lincoln Co TN. The other three children were all born in NC. Carr Bailey White's obit in Giles Co TN states he was born in Stokes Co NC. Stokes was a portion cut away for ole Rowan Co NC that covered most of the western section of old NC before other counties were also cut out of Rowan Co. Edith Chapman White married James Tucker in Stokes Co NC. She also moved to Lincoln Co TN about the same time . Her children and William White's children lived near by. Ginny Keefer Hope I am clearer in what I am trying to share this time.
