> Hi Nancy, Your Jeremiah White (d. 1777) is the one I believe could be the father of my Jeremiah White (d. 1788), but I can't prove it. Meanwhile, I don't want to dismiss any of the other Jeremiah's. Let me know if you see any proofs of this relationship or hints at who my Jeremiah might have married. Your Jeremiah, by the way, is probably an ancestor on another of my lines...Christopher Clark. Thank you so much for your thoughts.

Breidenthal" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > > My Mildred Thornton Ballenger, the daughter of Joseph and Sarah Hensley Franklin Ballenger, married John Martin White, the son of Jeremiah White. John was born 27 Jun 1743 in VA, died 6 Feb 1833 in Elbert County, GA. According to Jeanette Holland Austin, GEORGIA BIBLE RECORDS, the White Family Bible, the first entry dated 11 May 1722, is in the possession of the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond. The bible has a birth date for Jeremiah of 8 Oct 1695 and a death date of 25 Oct 1776, a death date which is different from your Jeremiah White. The bible's Jeremiah was married to Mary Martin, born 11 Oct 1728, died 23 Sep 1796. > John Martin White and Mildred Thornton Ballenger had the following children: Reuben, Sarah Franklin White, Mary (Polly) Martin White, John, Elizabeth Johnston White, Nancy Kidd White, Lucy Thornton White, Patsy Gaines White, Eppe, Frances, and John Martin White Junior. They may also have had a Betsy and a second Elizabeth Johnston White. (The first died at age seven.) I have dates and spouses for these children per the bible if that would help at all. > > Nancy Breidenthal >
