If someone will buy it (White Family History on ebay), I'll send them $10 to be able to use the book for a couple weeks, and I'll share whatever comes of it. I'm looking for the ancestry of Virginia Dare b1587, America's first citizen, and her ancestry, including mother Eleanor (White) Dare, and grandfather John White, selected by Sir Walter Raleigh to be the leader of what became the Lost Colony in Jamestown VA. I'm also a Dare descendant. (I also am seeking Chuck Gleason who researched the history of the Whites vback into the middle ages). & Thanks for finding & posting it Grannie.
