This may be of interest to someone. While looking for my "Smiths" in Iowa I found a couple of White families. Listed below: 1844 - Johnson county, Iowa Iowa city twp Nickolas White pg 4, line 31, # of souls 5 1854 - Big Grovce Twp John White page 1, ln 3, 3 males/2 females, 1 voter, 1 military 1954 - Iowa City twp N H White pg 5, ln 20, 3 males/3 females, 1 voter, 1 military William H White, pg 16, ln 5, 2 males/2 females, 1 voter, 1 military With the families traveling westward, it's hard to keep track of them as is with my Moses Smith. Hope this will be helpful to someone. I do not have any relations to these families and have no further info. Carolyn Molder

I am seeking any info on the parents of John Louis Anderson White b. 3 Apr 1829 VA supposedly of Irish descent; he m. Lucinda MASTRESS (of MO, Dutch descent) in Missouri abt. 1853. He signed documents as "John L. A. White". They had 11 children all born in the Gallatin, Daviess Co., MO area. In 1873 he traded his 80 acre farm in MO for a 304 acre farm in Collin County, TX, sight unseen from a man who was homesick for Missouri. He moved his family across Missouri, across Indian Territory and onto Collin Co., TX with 2 wagons, 5 brood mares and $500.00 in his pocket. John L. A. White took up drinking & lost most of his money. He then moved onto OK to homestead; so he took part in the Land Run (not sure of the date). This move was also prompted by the deaths of two of his daughters within 6 weeks of each other; Melvina (GARRETT) d. Aug 1882 of childbirth complications and so did Louell B. (KILGORE) die in Oct 1882 of the same. He & Lucinda died in Mountain Park, Kiowa Co., OK in 1907 & 1909 respectively. Can anyone help me take this family further back? They were my grgrgrandparents. Thank you for any assistance. Cindy Spears Faulkner [email protected]

My White is one of my biggest brick walls. Sarah Sally White married Elder John Parker and left Ga for IL late 1700's. she died in IL but her family (the Parkers) continued on to Tx. One son Daniel Parker brought the first protestant church into the spanish territory of Tx (Tx was not a state at the time) and one of the grandchildren Sarah Sally White was the mother of Cynthia Ann Parker the child that was stolen at age 9 by a band of raiding indians who also killed her father, grandfather, and uncle. Cynthia became the mother of the last Comanche chief Quanaha Parker. Sarah Sally White's father is Judge Benjamin White of Va and there I am in dead water. Can't find any trace of him. Oh BTW she had a sister that also married the bro of Elder John -Daniel is his name I believe. If anyone connects with this line I would appreciate any help I can get TIA Glitz

The Rev Asa White spread the Methodist Gospel on the Oregon Trail to Oregon City,OR, then to San Francisco, CA in 49, Arcata, Humboldt Co, CA in 50, St.Helena, Napa Co, CA in 53 and a lot of other places in between. Wife Catherine, son, daughters and son-inlaws all came along. Cliff Citrus Heights CA

Hello Heidi, You were wanting to know why your Whites moved west. I am not sure if you and I are connected, but here is the story of my direct line of Whites and when and why they moved west: Now according to my White information or file, many of the Whites', (and the McDowells, and some of the Blacks, Wests, and Wyatts that married into these families siblings and cousins of my direct ancestors), migrated to everywhere from Ga to Texas, etc., before and after The War for Southern Independence. For example, some of the Blacks that married into our McDowell family migrated to La and then to Texas. One being a lawyer and big in some Dallas newspaper business. Another example was in 1873 when all of the children of a Wyatt relative went to Texas. But as for my direct line: My great grandfather, Rev. Wm. Henry White, was born in Spartanburg, S.C. around 1850. His parents were John Warren White and Isabella Jane McDowell (John was the great grandson of Col. Henry White). Anyway, John Warren White was killed in 1864 while serving with the Palmetto SharpShooters, S.C. Vols., C.S.A.. In 1866 my g.g.grandmother Isabella Jane (McDowell) White remarried a Mr. James Henry Calvert, and South Carolina being overrun with yankee criminals, carpetbaggers, southern scalawags and other scum and criminal elements, they and some friends and relatives migrated to Texas. They had some black people, some being friends and associates, some former slaves and some had always been free, with their wagon train at first trying to go out there with them. But when they entered North Carolina the people in that region would not allow any blacks to enter that region and they forced all the blacks to turn around and go back to S.C. (All but one wagon driver). After an eventful trek across land and on riverboats, such as having to sleep in their wagons while aboard the river boats armed to the teeth to guard against thieves, and one wheel fell off into the river, they made it to Texas. They went first to Upsur Co., and then finally settled down in Gainesville, Cooke Co., Texas. That particular black wagon driver settled in Uphur Co., Texas. I have his name somewhere (my gr. grandfather wrote a paper in 1935 called, "Reminences of an old Minister" and in it he told a little of that trek).. One son of John and Isabella Jane White was Edward Walker White. He wound up settleing in Amarillo, Texas and married Leota Alice Kirk. He and her brothers opened a store called "White and Kirk" (a general store type thing). Edward also was successful in the mining business, a member, a deacon and elder of the Presbyterian church there, involved in local civic duties and projects there, started the first park in Amarillo, etc., etc.. Here is the list of my great grandfather's siblings, an excerpt from my White file: 1. Ella White(died childhood) 2. *Rev. Wm. Henry White(B.8/20/55-D.10/1/48 in Prattville, Ala.-m-Carolina Hamilton Stenhouse, born12/22/1860-Died 1/11/1944 in Prattville, Ala.. 3. Sally Anna White, B. 1857--D. 10/7/1876 in Cooke Co.,Tex.. -m- Wm. Chandler. 4. Leola AliceWhite, B. 5/22/1859 (died in childhood). 5. Edward Walker White(B. 2/8/1861--D. 6/6/1907.-m- Loeta Kirk, settled in Amarillo, Tex.. Issue:: Fay (mar'd Harry L. Kearns), Johnie ( mar'd Mr. Eislick), Edward Dean White). Edward had a mercantile store in Amarillo, and was into copper mining, etc.. 6. John Lawrence White, B3/?/1863 (died young). You can see where some died in childhood in S.C. and one sister died in Cooke, Co., Tex. in 1876. The other son, Wm. Henry White wound up eventually coming back to S.C. in the 1870s or so, and wound up marrying Carolina Hamilton Stenhouse and went to the Columbia Theological Seminary and became a Presbyterian Minister. He ultimately settled in Prattville, Alabama, dying there in the 1940s. I have pics somewhere around here of him, his brother and his wife, and the children of his brother and sister-n-law, Edward Dean White (I forget at the moment the sister's name). My grandmother always wondered what ever happened to those White relatives of ours that settled in Amarillo. A great Uncle went out there many years ago to find them and reestablish a link with them once again. We have some letters that my great grandfather and his brother in Amarillo wrote back and forth to each other from the mid 1800s to right after the turn fo the century. Once the old ones died off, all contact was lost. I am not sure if my great uncle went to find the Calverts or the Whites in Amarillo. But my great uncle was treated sort of shabbily, like a pest or a bum of some sort, and came back heartbroken, hurt and bitter about it. My dear grandmother and great aunts and uncle went to their graves with a great love for their relatives that had gone to Texas. The way Memaw and them would talk and carry on about them it was as if those relatives had just gone out there not long ago. I wish those lost relatives out there felt the same. Well, I hope I haven't bored you.

I'd ask why the family lost touch with each other. My grand aunt Fanny got together a lot of family history. By the time I got a copy, she and my grandfather had passed away and I couldn't ask them the tough questions. I've asked my mom, but she doesn't know either. I hosted a family reunion this past Saturday. Aunt Fanny's daughter Tish (91 yrs. young) joined us. It's the first time I'd seen her since before my teen years. I asked her why the family didn't stay closer. She didn't have a real answer, but assumed that it was because everyone was envolved in their families and hadn't time for extended families backwards.

Hi Heidi, Interested in hearing if you've discovered why the family moved from IL to California. I only know of one family that they met on the wagon trip. [email protected]

I'd be interested in knowing if the living relative knows why certain generations moved from one place to another, at least what the family lore is. I think it's interesting to see my family's migration to California. My father was helpful in filling in some gaps but I also found the story in a book on prominent people of the county. Also, in a the Humboldt County Historical Society, I found a book written by a great-great-uncle who documented his family's move to California in the 1870's (from the eyes of a child). But no such luck with my White family.
