Jim, I've been following the dialogue that you and John have been having. My grandmother's grandfather's name was George (T.) White from KY b 1854. George's parents are unknown though his son's mother appears on the death certificate as Cynthia Green. Mary E or Lizzie (b 1856 IL) appears as George's wife on OK census records. I have not found a George White with wife Cynthia on any census records. My grandmother was Flora Lorena White, daughter of Elzie Hampton White and Francis Eller Harris (Harris' married Ozment family) and also related to Gene Autry (the singer). My basis for writing is to see if my George is any relation to yours or their relatives as I am clueless as to how my George came to OK (Tishomingo/Ravia area). If we don't match, that's fine, but worth a try.

White's Lake near Highlands was named for Jesse White, It was on his original grant as part of the "Old 300". He was the son of William and Amy White, born in St. Martinville area of LA. After Williams death in 1805, Amy moved with the "old 300" group in 1824 to TX with some of her children to the Highlands area (initially called White's Settlement) the name was changed to Highlands when they opened a Post Office there and found that another town was using the White Settlement name.. They claimed lands on both sides of the San Jacinto River from slightly below what is now I-10 to above Crosby, TX Some of her children were Reuben White, Jesse White, George White, William White, Mary/William Whitlock, Rebecca/Presley Gill, Henry White and others. James Taylor White of present day Chambers County was her brother-in-law. Many other members of the White and related families moved to Texas a little later and claimed lands in east and central Texas. Reuben's Rifle in on display at the San Jacinto Battleground Museum. I descend from the union of George and Rebecca Morris Phipps White (son of William White and Amy Comstock White. I have hundreds of pages of documentation on this family group prior to TX dates and to current time on George White Group. Henry Calhoun White was one of four sons from George and Rebecca marriage.

Eva, I really don't have verified information on your White lineage. Is there a verified male White in your lineage that could participate in a DNA project? That might be your best shot. As I mentioned to John, a James Taylor White and possibly a Thomas, sons of William White and Sophia Davenport are believed to have located in Caldwell Co., KY. There appears to be some census and Will information to verify that. It's in my files somewhere ...and after moving all my files cabinets to make room for the grandchildren over the Christmas Holidays...all I can say is that they are in one of eight four drawer file cabinets in my garage. Hopefully by next Christmas all will be back in my office and computer room where I can get at them. There is a mystery in the mention of Caldwell Co. in my mind. William, Sophia and family relocated from SC to Burke Co., NC. The area where most of their land was located is now Caldwell Co., NC. This opens a big question mark for me. The will had names of James Taylor's Children in the KY Will. You think your confused. After nearly 40 years of searching family records...I'm still stumped and hitting brick walls. Some of our searches may never be solved. I have decided that if we go back far enough. we're all cousins.
