Below is a Brief of Robert White Sr's Family, the Website covers each family in greater detail, Connections/Allied families, etc.

Our South Carolina Roots

Known Migration Route - ??, VA, NC, SC

"White" Male Y-DNA = Ancient Origin British Celtic. Combined English, Wales, Scotland = 42%,
 Ireland = 31%,  Scandinavia - 12%, Central Europe = 10%, East Slavic = 4%,  American Indian = 1%. (99% European)

Generation #1

Robert White Sr.
(Rev War Vet - mentioned in Obituary - served 6 years)
(Grandson Letter of 1875 - "...Grandfather was a Vigorous Veteran & Blacksmith..."
letter indicates Robert was in good health, at 100yrs old, still repairing metal tools...)
(Ceremony, June 9, 2019, to accept & recognize our Patriot into SAR & DAR organizations)

Born: 9 Jan 1743 Near Roanoke River VA 
1871, Grandson, Isaac Murphy, letter: "... Old Grandfather White was born in Virginia near Roanoke River.
I am informed that he lived on the Tar River North Carolina for a time"...
 


Died: 20/21 Nov 1843 Union County South Carolina
Robt. Sr was a resident of  Union Co SC, from 1788 to 1829, then moved, next door, to Spartanburg Co SC
 from 1829 to 1843, as the 1840 census cannot be found, I do not know who was caring for Robt Sr, until his
death,  I suspect, his son, Robt Jr, as they lived and attended the same church. Since all records show, he died
in Union Co, at age 100, it is possible he was with one of his daughters, Elizabeth, or Susan, both still in Union Co.
Robert Jr & brother Elias were the only sons left in SC 1843, two daughters in Union, and numerous grand & great
grand children in the area. Family lore has it, "that he was on a wagon to Union Co SC for a visit, when he became ill."

Buried: Padgett's Creek Baptist Church Cemetery Cross Keys Union Co SC

Placed June 9th, 2019
Married 1st - abt: 1775 possibly Granville Co NC
Mildred "Milly - Milla" Whitehead
 
[other spellings; Whitted, Whited]
(dau of William & Francis "Fanny" Whitehead)
(Step daughter of Margaret [Nickles - Nichols] Whitehead.)

Born: unk. est. 1758/1763 NC
 Died: 30 Nov 1807 Union Co SC

Number of children: 12 

(1778 Whitehead family living in Granville Co NC, 1778
moved west to Caswell Co NC, moved to Laurens Co SC 1788)

(Milly was the oldest child & daughter of Wm Whitehead who died in 1805 Laurens
Co SC, mentions Milla White, in his Original WILL ('all transcripts are in error'),
Original Will attached to the 1825 Estate Bond, not the 1805 Estate papers)

Note1: Milly's siblings named, in order from Will, ages are NOT known only estimated.
Notes2: This Whitehead family, has been
mistakenly used, in many postings, on the Web.
 
Milly's siblings (oldest):  Lusa (Louisa) Adkins (Atkins), Benjamin, Thomas,
Daniel, Jane Alberson (Alverson), Stephen, Sarah Strain, William,
half brother & Sister:  John & Nancy Whitehead.  All Born in NC - except John & Nancy - SC
The Adkins & Alverson's were Neighbors in CC NC, Alverson's moved to Laurens Co SC.

Married 2nd - 1808/1810

(1810 Census indicates Robert has married a 2nd wife)

Elizabeth
  ?????

Born: 1760/1770 (est. from census)
 Died: 27 Dec 1840 Spartanburg Co SC

(Robt Sr was a resident of Sptg Co SC from 1829)
(Nothing is known of Elizabeth we don't believe 
any children came from this marriage, from census
it appears Elizabeth was born between 1760/1770)

No Known children

(have researched all Elizabeth's, Betsy's, Eliza's, from the
church minutes of each of the churches, there was a Elizabeth
Howard, that attended the Padgett's Crk. Baptist church, dismissed
then an Elizabeth White received at Fairforest Baptist, in a fairly
close time period, Robert was charter member number 1 (1809), at
the Lower Fairforest Baptist Church, he had attended the Padgett's
from 1788 to 1809, Fairforest from 1809-1829, surname search continues)

Robert White's known Migration Path
(Our 'White' surname Male DNA appears, in part, in Hanover, Louisa Co's VA, formerly part of old New Kent Co VA)

"From old Brunswick Co VA 1743 (Mecklenburg?) to Granville to Caswell County's NC to old 96th District SC (Union & Laurens Co SC)"

"William Whitehead is the Father-in-law of Robert White Sr."

Wm Whitehead was a Planter (farmer), land usually had a 6 to 7 year useful cycle, there were no Fertilizers
in the 1700's, famers had to either let their land lay fallow (unused for a time), or purchase new lands to farm,
in most cases planters/farmers had to sell, then buy new lands, often forcing them to move, to other counties
where land was abundant and cheap, near good water sources. Robert White was a Blacksmith, a trade in very
high demand in the old days, made anything metal, repaired anything metal, even guns & cannon during the wars.

Patriot, William Whitehead - Planter - sold food for the war cause
Patriot, Robert White - Blacksmith - served 6 years (per Obituary), 1775-1781.

Isaac Murphy Letter 1871 - "old grandfather White was born in Virginia near
Ronoake River, I am informed that he lived on Tar River N. C. for a time".
(Isaac Murphy son of Susan White Murphy, and Grandson of Robert White Sr)

Thomas Warren White Interview 1875 - "...Grandfather was also a Vigorous Veteran,
he was a blacksmith, on 100th birthday, walked a mile, to a shop, worked a piece of steel..."
(T Warren White was the son of Robert White Jr, grandson of Robert White Sr)

The area of VA in 1743 where the Roanoke River ran, was old Brunswick Co
VA, the area I am focused, created from old Brunswick, is Mecklenburg Co VA
bordered with Granville Co NC, the Roanoke River VA ran W/E across the entire
length of Mecklenburg Co VA, before crossing into NC, per old deeds from Granville
many folks migrated from Mecklenburg to Granville, moving back and forth VA/NC...
Robt White or his Family may have done the same, in search of cheaper lands to farm.
The county sizes were transforming rapidly during this time period, of our history, records
of our folks could be found in the surrounding Counties, ie, Granville, & bordering counties.

Much of our Theory is now confirmed

First, currently, we have proven that our Wm Whitehead moved from Granville NC 1778 to Caswell NC 1778,
being a planter, he purchases land on Moon's Creek in Caswell 1778.  Robert White married his daughter about
1775. If Wm was a Planter, it is logical he lived in Granville NC, at least 6 to 7 years, possibly longer. It is also logical
that Robert White married Milly there abt 1775, possibly, at her fathers place of residence, yet to be determined, but
there was a Wm Whitehead in Goshen district 1778, near the TAR River NC, (Isaac Murphy letter 1871, " ...old Grand-
father lived a time on the TAR River NC...".  Neither, Wm or Robert ever owned slaves, Robert may have had some land,
Blacksmiths were very busy, little time for farming, his children young. In Caswell it appears Wm gave land to his son Thomas
and possibly Robert White in 1781, as they pay the taxes, Robt., & Thomas land is not recorded, this happens when land is given
to a person, or receives it from inheritance, they were suppose to have it recorded, but many times they did not, Wm, Robert were both
living on Hogan's Creek from CC NC 1781, when Robt was discharged from his Revolutionary War service? So, theory goes, Robert White
married Milly 1775, is in service from 1775 to 1781, rejoins the family on Hogan's creek 1781, father-in-law Wm, provides him with 342 acres
of unrecorded land, which he pays taxes on from 1781-1787, then moves to 96th District 1787-1788 SC, Wm Whitehead follows in
1788-1789,
purchases land on Cain Creek in 96th district SC, later to become Lauren's Co SC, Wm's is documented via land records from Granville 1778
to Caswell 1778, to Laurens Co SC 1788/1789, Wm also sells lands in Caswell while living in Laurens County SC. Wm & Robt. on 1790 Census.
Wm. dies 1805, Milly 1807, Robt. sells 195 acres of land 1814 on Cain Crk, this is probably land from Milly's inheritance, distributed to heirs of Wm.
Robt White & Wm Whitehead are on the 1786 NC Census for Caswell NC (Census 1784-1787), living 2 households from each other, on Hogan's Crk.
