Does anyone have any info on George White from Wheeling, WV around 1800. He had two brothers, Andrew and John, and George was a steamboat captain. Any further info would be greatly appreciated.

Actually I doubt it is the ISP - all of my other messages come in one at a time - nor is anyone else having this problem here. My guess is that it is the rootsweb server that is sending out multiple times.

Do I hear of more Whites in Ireland? - Especially Co. Donegal - Thank you - Richard

I keep getting duplicate copies from this mailing list - this is the only list it seems to happen with, but it is occurring on every single message over the last few days. Mike White

To all you Whites looking for Whites in your past, don't get discouraged. The White name is 14th in frequency in this country. I've been looking for WHITES for a couple of years and have only made contact with a couple in our line of Whites descended from John White Sr. born in Ireland in 1720. But a couple of those contacts have been very fruitful. SO DON'T GIVE UP. BOB WHITE

same thing happening to be - re duplicate messages.

Hi, I'm baaaack, Came across a couple of WHITEs in Cross Creek's cemetery records, database courtesy of Ancestry.com. Cross Creek is located in SW PA in Washington Co., and the cemetery is affiliated with the Cross Creek Presbyterian Church. Sherry ============================================ Name: Josephine Martha White Relationship: wife of A. M. White and daughter of David and Agnes Cooke Death Date: 24 Feb 1863 Age: 23 Comment: Josephine Martha, wife of A. M. White and daughter of David and Agnes Cooke, died Feb. the 24th, 1863, in the 23d year of her age. History of Cross Creek Cemetery Connected with Cross Creek Presbyterian Church At the same meeting a motion was made and carried that a lithographic picture of Mr. Simpson be placed in the book. At same meeting a committee of nine persons was appointed by the congregation to assist the Board of Trustees in raising this fund, the committee consisting of W. W. Jackson, John S. Patterson, Thomas M. Johnson, J. Morgan Sharp, Robert Anderson, A. H. Kerr, William G. White, John White and Robertson J. Lyle. No surnames here, but it's interesting: On the 17th of February, 1782, Robert Wallace, who resided one mile east of Florence, where Samuel McConnell now resides, was from home at a mill. In his absence a band of Indians attacked his house, took his wife and babe and two other boys captive, shot his cows, burned his cabin and left. When Wallace returned he found his home in ruins and his family gone. A party of whites followed the trail till dark, but in the night a snow fell, so that they could follow the trail no longer. The Indians took the north direction to the Ohio River. In the evening late Mrs. Wallace gave out and was tomahawked and scalped, and the little child also shared the same fate. The other two lads were taken on. The remains of Mrs. Wallace were left to the beasts of prey. Wallace, thinking that his wife was held in captivity among the Indians, came to Cross Creek, to Marshall's Fort, to get Col. James Marshall to intercede with Gen. Wm. Irvine at Fort Pitt, and have him intercede with Gen. Washington, so that his wife might be exchanged or ransomed. This Gen. Irvine did not do, as he said Cornwallis had now surrendered and we would soon have peace, and giving other reasons, did not make the request to Washington as Wallace wished him. He repaired to his home sad and heavy. At this time the settlers were organizing the expedition to go to Gnadenhutten to remove the Moravian Indians further west or bring them again to Fort Pitt. Wallace was not long in making up his mind to go along, and go he did. When the little army under the command of Col. David Williamson arrved there, Wallace found the dress that his wife had on when she was taken prisoner among the plunder in the Moravian town. They had got it in trade from the hostile Indians on their return home that way. On Wallace finding this covered with blood he became, as others said, a mad man. His rage was terrible and also that of the others with him. This was conclusive. The vote was taken and but 16, some say 18, voted to spare the lives of the 96 innocent creatures. Wallace went with the executioners and did not fail to act his part with tomahawk and knife. Thomas Marshall, who was long an elder of Old Cross Creek, and who died near New Athens, O., in 1839, aged 96 years, was along with the militia, but did not take part in the killing. He told Capt. Lysander Patterson (yet living) that after the slaughter was over he was seated on a log. Wallace came up to him and sat down beside him stained with the blood of the slain. He said, "It may be that we have done wrong, but I could not help it," and then wept like a little child. Wallace came home with the troops, bringing his wife's dress along. It was kept for long years afterward. In 1783 some hunters found what they were sure were the bones of a white person near Hookstown, Beaver Co., Pa. Wallace was told of it, and going to the spot, found them and recognized them as those of his wife by the teeth. He gathered them up and often went back afterward, still finding some more. After keeping them for two years in a salt sack hung up at the head of his bed, he brought them to Cross Creek and buried them. An old field stone with "M. W." in large letters was supposed to mark her grave. It stood near the center of the yard, but has disappeared. No doubt it was removed by some vandal to make the foundation for some other monument. Mrs. Wallace's maiden name was Mary Grant. Mr. Wallace got one of his sons back after peace was restored. The other was never heard of. Robert, the one that returned, died in 1855, an aged man, and is buried at the Covenanter Churchyard, near Venice, Washington Co., Pa. Mr. Wallace married again and raised another family. He was long afterwards an elder of Cross Roads Church. He died in 1808 and is buried at Florence, Washington Co., Pa.
