Hello! I came across the following item in the September 14, 1887 newspaper (on microfilm) called THE ESCAMBIA AND BALDWIN TIMES. It states: "Mr. John White living up Burnt-corn creek informs us that one day last week he killed an alligator seven feet in length, one rattlesnake................" I was wondering if this could be John A. WHITE who was born at South Carolina in the 1820's (most likely) and migrated to Southwestern Alabama. The John White I am searching for married Eliza A. HART and they were the parents of Jehaza WHITE Kitchen. If you are researching John Whites of Southwestern Alabama, I hope you will get in touch- thanks! Patricia
