William E Ikerd by way of "George W. Durman, I am a descendent of Elizabeth WILHITE (sister to your Barbara) who married Joshua Cate (brother to your Samuel). I have pretty much the same information that you do. This information has been provided to me others who have done all of the hard work. I am sorry that I cannot provide you with any proof at this time but will let you know that I do have a note on Barbara WILHITE that says, "Lurene Bivin says Barbara may be the dau of Mathias Wilhite, brother of Adam." Sorry I cannot offer any "proof" one way or the other and I do not know how to contact Lurene Bivin. I would love to hear from though to compare our information on these common lines.
