White, Jr. M.D. James, If you are not on the Monongalia, Preston WV and Greene Co PA lits then you should get on them. There are several people on these lists who tie in to your Whites. I so far can't make the connection, although my line of Whites was in those counties. My earlierst proven White is: William George White born c. Dec 1817 Winchester, Frederick Co,VA, to Mary Strahan/Strahin/Strawn White and "unknown" White. Were living in Greene Co PA by 1830, probably by 1819. Mary's husband 'may' have been one Washington White, and they could be the Mary and Washington White who obtain a divorce in Greene County in 1831. Maria E. Brower, Grass Valley, CA
