I believe my ancestor, Allen White, went from Bertie County, NC to Illinois BEFORE he moved on to TN. He is on the 1830 census for Maury county, TN. I also THINK his full name was James Allen White. His father was Peter White, a Rev. War vet from Bertie county, NC. Interestingly enough, this Allen White had a son named Peter Doss White, who married a woman named Malinda Jane Hall, who was born in Fairfield, Illinois. Maybe they met up there and came down with Allen? Thanks for any help you may provide. Sam
