Notes:

**JT White - This is BF White's Nephew, Jesse Tom White, son of Robert White Jr, BF's brother.
***DP White - This is BF White's son David Patillo White.

BF White was the teacher and mentor of many of the composers whose songs are included in the Sacred Harp.
From the book "White Spirituals in the Southern Uplands", by George Pullen Jackson, we learn that BF White was very humble and modest and wrote and assisted on  many songs with others, he would allow others to take credits for there composition.   I suppose a good musician might detect this in the Sacred Harp book.
