I do not know these Whites, and names do not fit my line. However, I will say that an old family tale was that Jesse James came to see my Grandfather in Uvalde, Texas somewhere just prior to 1900....of course Jesse was supposed to be dead, and my family always heard, it was not true because of the visit. It was further related that my Grandfather's mother, who was Mariah Munday(Cherry) White, had been left a widow after the Civil War when Capt Absalom White of Tippah Co, Ms died of injuries suffered during the war. According to records found, they had been large land owners, but after his father died, my GF b 1859 and a young teen, took his mother Mariah and a sister to Memphis, Tn where he pedaled milk until he could make enough money to bring them to Texas. But GF said when they still lived on the plantation, Jesse and his boys would come by and his mother would feed them, and she said if they didn't hurt her, she had no problem with them...She treated them nice and they treated her nice! My GF was about 17 when he arrived in Hill Co, Tx. Somewhere there was a Mo connection, but I have been unable to unravel it. I do know that connecting familes in Hill Co came from Mo...the Ince...McMillan family. For what a little gossip is worth.
