Hello. Many thanks for your reply. You say your husband descends from Paul and Mary White, who were in Morgan Co., MO ca 1840. My line comes through Paul's daughter Abigail White, who married Russell Simmons in Delaware Co., OH in 1836; then through their daughter Ruth Lydia Simmons, who m. Richard Larimore Greenstreet in Cooper Co., MO in 1857. My mother was a Greenstreet. I'd love to exchange information with you on the Paul White line--or the Simmons and Greenstreet lines if they link. . Hope to hear from you soon.
