Ya know...... it just seems to me that all these WHITEs hanging out in the same area and being involved with the same people - almost HAD to be related somewhere!! Maybe it's my imagination - but a little bell is tinkling in my head about this. And I dunno about you folks - but my WHITE ancestors are serious brick walls, and have been to the family for over 100 years! I'm not the first one to try to straighten out this mess! And it also seems to me that they never wanted anyone to figure any of this out!! All I have on them is this: Father: Probably Nazareth White (I have a little more on him, but I won't include it here) Son: CC White - Possibly Cal or Calvin White - rode with Jesse James. He was my grandmother's Uncle. I think he's buried in Wichita Falls, TX. Daughter: Rilla Dudley - Dudley is only one of many maiden names I have for her. She was a Cherokee and sister to CC. (My grandmother's mother.) Mother used to take us to "visit the cousins" on the reservation. These relatives - were probably WHITEs, Dudleys, Webbs, Smiths, etc. So - two WHITE brothers run off to ride with Jesse James and the crowd. Who'se to say their cousin or younger brother CC didn't chase off after them?? Any one got any input on this?? Maybe I should just stay outa this! LOL Thanks!!
