    1. [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] JEREMIAH WHITE d. 1788, Pittsylvania Co., VA
    2. Mignon Nicholson
    3. Hi all, My brick wall is the above. I'm looking for his parents and for his wife of at least some of his 10 children. I have a copy of his will signed 22 April 1788 and proved 19 May 1788 all in Pittsylvania Co. It was also proved at Albemarle Co. May Court, 1788. I have a copy of a marriage bond signed by both Jeremiah White and Henry Shelton in Albemarle Co. for a marriage to take place between Jeremiah White and Jane Shelton...signed in 1784. But since Jeremiah died in 1788, I'm looking for the mother of at least some of his children. He owned 2108 acres of land in Pittsy. Co. though it is said he came in 1778 from Dinwiddie Co. In the Antrim Parish Register, then Halifax Co./now Pittsy. Co. in 1756 processioners went to procession Jeremiah White's land but "there was no one to shew the lines." Five or six grants were made to Jeremiah White from 1756 through about 1780 by Royal Governors as well and American governors such as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Harrison. A Jeremiah White was 1st Lt. in the Revolution. Are all these the same guy or can somebody please tell me how to untangle them. If you want to work on it I could send you my file. Thanks for any help you may give. Mignon
