Hi, Cindy. Thanks for your note. I'm always happy to hear from people who are working on the people I am. My James White's grandson and my great grandfather, William Grant White, was a sailor in the war between the states. He served on the gunboat "Sampson" in the Savanah River. He was joined in that by his brother, another James White! Their father was Gaberiel White, son of the frist James. My grandmother was Jesse Anne White, who married John Thomas Mitchell, my grandfather. We'll keep looking. Bill (William Grant Mitchell)
