Ron White said… - Hello Robert,
Thank you for the information... The years are close and the names as well.. Do you have any more you could share on Nancy's family.. My family all comes from Tenn. and Ky. (That we know of) The years are of the mid to late 1700 that we lost them. We are pretty sure that Nancy was the mother to our Thomas Jefferson White. We do not know who the father was.. Any more information would be great.. Thank you again.. Ron
