By 1840, it is said the family was located near Memphis, Tn. George's occupation was a railroad engineer. He supposedly drove the first train out of Memphis, across Ms? Wm. Alexander WHITE bought a 1/4 section of land in DeSoto County, Ms. Wm. Alexander WHITE married Sarah Adeline JONES(TN. ca1834) in Days, DeSoto County, Ms. in 1853.
