Important Deed - This may be land Inherited Milly Whitehead White, Robert's Wife,
she died in 1807, Robert sells this land in 1814, with son Wm & son-in-law Lewis Rhodes as Witness.

This Land may have been purchased on Cain Creek before Laurens became a county, that is, it was still
old 96th District, all of 96th's records were kept in Abbeville District at that time, a court house fire in
1874 and again in 1875, destroyed ALL of 96th Districts Record, except Probate and some other court
records. So, we may never find a Deed of Purchase for this land either by William Whitehead or Robert
White. However, Wm's Will stipulated that when 2nd wife Margaret remarried or died, the Estate would
be distributed among the Heirs, since Milly died in 1807, that would leave Robert White as her Heir.

NOTES FROM MIKE:

Charles (Charter) Nickles (Nichols) was the Estate Admin, of William
Whitehead. There is no record Robert White buying this land on Cain Creek.
Wm's Will stipulated that when 2nd wife Margaret, remarried or died,
the Estate would then be distributed to all of his Children. Milly died
1807, thus, Robert White became the rightful Heir of Milly. 

In my opinion, this 195 acres was part of Wm Whitehead's estate, as
his lands were on Cain Creek.

It appears that 2nd wife Margaret, remarried or died about 1813/14,
and this is the land Robert sold to Wm Whitehead's administrator,
Charter Nickles (Nichols).  I am hopeful to find an entry into the
estate papers that will document this transaction.

If the land was part of Inheritance or Gift to Robert White, those types
of transactions, many time were not recorded, however, one still had
to pay property Taxes on any lands they owned.

to complete this transcription until i get the rest....

Wit James Duncan son of Alexr, Wm. Rice.
Proved by the oath of William Rice, 26 July 1819 before
Wm. White, J.Q.
Elizabeth White (X), wife of Robert White, relinquished
dower 24 July 1819 before William White, J.Q.
Recorded 6 Sept 1819.

Notes from Mike:

This deed shows Robert White Sr with his 2nd wife Elizabeth, 
the William White, J.Q. may be Robt's son, but their was an older
Wm in the area that died the same year (1829), as Robt's son Wm. 

Bird Murphy - Robert White Sr is related via his daughter's Susan 
marriage to Sion Murphy III.

This sell may be when Robert White Sr moved from the Tigar River,
up closer to Fairforest Creek, as he was in attendance at the Lower 
Fairforest Baptist from 1809 to 1829.  And closer to his children.
Son Stephen White was leaving for GA with his wifes family about
this time, Robert Jr moved to Spartanburg 1819. Robert Sr was 76 yrs
old, I would suspect his farming days were coming to an  end.

Notes from Mike:     (Those involved in the above deed)

Johnson Coggin of course was the husband of Jane White, daughter
of William White, son of Robt White Sr.  

Bailey's related via the White's marriages into the Murphy line.

Robert & Jesse Boatman brothers of Elizabeth Boatman White, wife
of William White, son of Robt Sr. 

James White the oldest son of William White. 

J. W. Cooper JP - This may be James William Cooper Esqr., the 
life long friend of Robert White Jr., son of Robert Sr., he would move
to Spartanburg, attend the same church as the White's and remain a
neighbor of Robt Jr., until his death.  His children would later move
with some of the White boys to GA and who knows from there... 
Robert White Jr was married to JW Cooper's sister Mary Polly 
[Cooper - Greer] White.

This is the last Deed in Union Co SC for our Robert White Sr., he was now in his 86 yrs old, by 1829, Wm White his son died this year, I believe Robt might have been living with him at this time, he moved to Spartanburg Co SC, to be with his son Robert White Jr and numerous grand children, Sr was in attendance at the Cedar Springs Baptist Church from 1829 to 1843 the year he died, which was recorded in the minutes of that church.  The Children and Grands scattered, and history took its course, some remained in the area.
