"Mystery Child"

William White is one of the mystery children of Wm & Elizabeth.

William is spoke of in two letters written by grandsons of Robert 
White Sr:  Isaac P. Murphy and his brother Jason Wiley Murphy, 
for which an abstract is listed below:


In a Family Letter dated March 17, 18__ (probably 1870's)
From Jason Wiley Murphy to his sister Edy Jackson:

"...Father White lives his upper plantation near Thompsons cross 
roads is well. Cousin Ginna Coggins live at the same place. Sally & 
Susan lives at the old place. Backael? at the Village. Betsy married 
Lipskum lives on Jocher Creek has no children. Wm in Georgia.  
Lucy dedd. Samuel in Alabama. Susan has one son married. Rachael 
two daughters, Lucy one. I don't know how many Ginny has married..." 

Note: All of the Children mentioned above are William & Elizabeth's.


Comments:

There were several William White's in Union county, at the time of 
Wm Sr's death, in 1829, William Jr. was only a teenager, so cannot
be any of the Wm's on the 1830 census, for Union Co SC. 

At least in the 1830 Census, Wm is living with his immediate family,
or a guardian, as was commonly ruled  by the courts, of the time...

There maybe a Guardianship record hidden somewhere at the Union
County Court house. It is not mentioned in Wm's Estate record. An
inspection of the Count Minutes for 1829 may reveal this information.


Census Records: 

The 1840 census is the most revealing for Wm White Sr's boys 
James and Wm, living very close to each other and relatives. Have
sorted out  the White's, this James & Wm  and these can only belong 
to Wm & Elizabeth White Sr.

NOTE: 
Below is for Record only & is probably NOT our Wm:

1850 Fayette Co., GA. Dist 29 in  1850... 
               (Ancestry.com #53)....here goes.... 

365 - 374
William White    age 32 M Blacksmith 200  SC
               Jency          31  F                             SC
               John L.       11 M                             SC

               Martha P.  07  F                             SC
               Mary       5/12  F                             GA

**Note:
If we compare this to 1840, Union Co, above, we
have a problem, as Wm had no children at that 
time, and John L 11yrs, would mean he was born
1839... ? Mistakes were common in the census. 


1860 Census Panola Co TX matches our Wm's age perfectly
John S White, Wm's 1st cousin, son of his uncle, Stephen, was
also living in Panola Co TX in 1860, so just in case, we note here:
