I looked in 1880 Kanawha Co census and no William that age there..Maybe he had two names? do you suppose he named one of his boys by his dad's name?..or there is a family with a 2 yr old son but the boy's name is Vernon and says daughter but that is not a girl's name.. Samuel and Emily White.. there is a Thomas and Relissa(probably Melissa) who has a son Robert age 1 (could be wrong age again) There is a Woodford J and Adeline who have a i yr old son Letrage..could be..I wouldn't use that name either if that would havppen to be William's full name!..so maybe these names could be used in your search..nothing else matches...of abt 37 Whites! That's what I'm running into. We even had a lot of other White's in the family yet no matches. They were married in Boomer, which became Fayette County, but other than that I can't find a single thing on him. It's so odd. We had a lot of other family up around the Quick area at that time also yet no matches. He never collected social security so that doesn't help. He had a son named Willie born in the early 1900's. I can't find hide nor hair of him anywhere.
