Hello List, I am new to this list. I am searching for George WHITE, born about 1800 in Scotland. Unknown for sure the area, but it may have been near Edinburgh. I have a note from someone telling a cousin what is known of him. Apparently, George was a very stubburn lad. He wanted to come to America and settle. Well, this didn't agree with his papa, so he runs away. His papa catches up to him near Edinburgh. Papa consents and gives his permission for him to go to America. By 1825, a son is born to him, William Alexander WHITE. They were located near Wheeling at this time. By 1840, they were in Memphis, Tn. George's occupation was said to be with the railroad. He was said to be on the first train to cross Ms? (Need to know what company the first train was with?) By 1853, William Alexander is getting married in Ms. I have much of his line down. But need help finding more on George WHITE, born Scotland. Can anyone help? Thanks, Debbie
