Reply; None of my White's went to or came from Canada. It is my opinion that they came from Gravesend, a London suburb in mid 1600's to York that became Lancaster Co VA. Probably never moved while in VA to Prince William Co to Fauquier Co. I bet those county line changed names. Original counties were too far to travel for business purposes. Ginny K
