In my own family, my earliest William White Sr. died in Prince William Co VA [thought to have lived in same place when it was called Lancaster/York Co VA- ?not proven yet] in 1797. His son, William White Jr., said in his Rev War Pension Application [S1735 VA] that after the Rev War- he served in was over-, he relocated to Rowan Co NC [and section that became Stokes Co NC] for 30 years before finally relocating to Lincoln Co TN where he died in May 1833. His children left descendants in Lincoln, Lawrence and Giles Co TN and then some went into Limestone Co AL. My William White Jr. and many of his NC neighbors appear for the first time in Lincoln Co TN 1820 census. Many of these same people came to NC from above named Virginia Counties. All of his descendants are listed in 1850 Giles Co TN census with many of his NC neighbors living there too. Many of you may find the about to be published Lincoln and Giles Co Heritage Books valuable. I am not involved with the book committees, just want to spread the word that these valuable books are about to go to press. Lincoln & Giles Co TN were a favorite place for those who "went West".

I ordered two Lincoln Co. Heritage Books. One for my dad for Christmas 2004.... Well maybe for his birthday February 25, 2005. Well, Father's Day, 2005? What a disappointment. I know that the committee is working diligently, but Dad is now 90 years old. And then I was informed of the "editing" that was going on.....Hum! Hello? Carmen McDaniel Forbes

Has EVERYONE heard that the Heritage Book had such terrific response that it is 700 pages now. That requires more negotiating with the publisher and rearranging of the whole set up. They are struggling as FREE VOLUNTEERS. Please give them a break. It is a hardship to some who preordered with definite needs for a specific time frame - but surely it can be understood that no one is lagging behind on the 'job' trying to hassle those who were so wonderful to make this project so great. Everything usually works out fine when given time. Ginny Keefer
