I 'm not sure just what, if anything, that you can read into this information. But for what its worth, I have a John Alfred White b Sep 15, 1820 in Monroe co, Tn and who died on Jan 7, 1885 and buried in Gray Cem in Coatsburg, Ill. He had a son Calvin H. White, b July 16, 1851 in Honey Creek Twnship, Adams Co, Ill and who mar Martha J Hunter. The wife of John Alfred was Elizabeth "Lizzie" White. Children other than Calvin were John A and Joel White. Hope this strikes some kind of note..if so, may be able to give you something else. JeanW mccoy@gvtc.com NYpediRN@aol.com wrote: > Looking for > 1. Calvin Otis White b. (?) d. (?) m. (?) > > 2.
