Does anyone have information on the Thomas White & Lucy Traylor listed in the Rowan County Marriages below for 10 Nov 1818? I'm trying to verify they were parents of B. F. (Benjamin Franklin) White, b. 25 Nov 1818. B.F. wrote a note about his Grandparents William Traylor & Elizabeth "Betsy" Elles. Said they came from Virginia to Salisbury NC and then to Tennessee around 1823. The following is the information from Lincoln & Giles Co., TN: 1840 Census, Giles County, Tennessee.
