Posted on: Isle of Wight County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/IsleofWight/10795 Surname: White ------------------------- Janine, The most concrete evidence that I found in my notes about where and when John White was born, was in an e mail from a Mr. Sam A. Thompson who lived in Shelby County, Tn. His mother was a White. He has since moved to Los Angeles, Ca. and I have lost touch with him. The following is quoted from his e mail to me: "My Whites seem to go back to a John White, b. circa 1660, who migrated from ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY, VA to what eventually became Bertie County, N.C. on 10-18-1701." "This is according to 'New World Immigrants' by Tepper." " I am citing a work entitled 'The Lee & White famlies of Bertie, Chowan, Hertford & Periquimans counties, N.C. 1660-1983 by a Joseph Britton Lee." "The NC Gen Soc advises that Mr. Lee compiled this work, furnished a copy to them and simply vanished." "I cannot find him."
