I'm very interested in learning about William and Clement WHITE from Mt. Sidney, Augusta Co. VA. William and Clement were both wagonmakers living next door to each other in the 1850 federal census. Clement WHITE was born May 1781 in Maryland. Earlier census indexes indicate he was in Augusta Co. by 1830. In 1844 he borrowed $62.00 from Benjamin WELLER. He died Feb. 2, 1853 and was buried in the Mount Sidney Methodist Church Cemetery. I believe his wife was Nancy RYAN who also rests in the same cemetery along with several more WHITES. I searched the Augusta Co. Death Register for Clement WHITE'S death but it was not recorded in county records. Does anybody know if the Mt. Sidney Methodist Church and cemetery is still active? Is the cemetery also known as Bells Cemetery? It would be great if early church records existed. William WHITE was born in Augusta county ca 1818 and he married Mary Ann SHELLY in Jan. 1845. He appears in Augusta County Deeds for transactions with Jacob K. STRIBLING, Nicholas K. TROUT, And William SHOEMAKE. In a March 1860 deed, William WHITE is referred to as deceased. It appears his widow was still residing at same house in the 1860 federal census. She later married an HUFFMAN. There is a third WHITE--Horatio WHITE from the same District (2 1/2) that was also a wagonmaker. He was born about 1811 in VA and married Elizabeth TROUT Sept. 15, 1834 in Augusta Co. With three men with the same surname, WHITE, and all three with the same occupation, wagonmaker, I have to wonder if they might be from the same family. Perhaps Clement WHITE taught William and Horatio the trade. If anybody knows these families or the Mount Sidney area, please let me hear from you. Barbara
