Notes:

Libby Freeman Spieth, quoted by "Dolores1630" on ancestry.com says that sometime soon after 1870, "my gr-grandfather John [Freeman] went to Elk Valley TN. He managed a lumber business for my other gr-grandfather Jasper Newton White (Newt) and that is also how he met my gr-grandmother Teresa Allen. They returned to Whitley." Of interest since both John Freeman and Jasper Newton White are among PNH's direct ancestors as well (great-great grandfathers, in his case).

Relationships between Jasper Newton White and John Freeman:

GG-grandfather Jasper Newton White (1848-1909):
* employed GG-grandfather John Freeman (1850-1931) as manager of his lumber mill
* married, as his third wife, Mary Ann Freeman (1855-1928), sister of John Freeman
* Jasper Newton White's son by his second wife, G-grandfather Alfred Franklin White (1880-1952), married John Freeman's daughter, G-grandmother Mary Jane Freeman (1880-1932)

Jasper married Susan Parker on 19 Sep 1867 in Whitley County, Kentucky. Susan (daughter of William Henderson Parker and Sarah "Sally" Patrick) was born on 19 Dec 1852; died in Sep 1879 in Whitley County, Kentucky; was buried in Concord Cemetery, Whitley, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Nicholas married Nancy Anne Sumner on 13 Oct 1825 in Whitley County, Kentucky. Nancy (daughter of James Sumner and Mourning Blanshard) was born in Jun 1804 in Grayson County, Virginia; died in Jul 1876 in Williamsburg, Whitley, Kentucky; was buried in Red Bird Cemetery, Williamsburg, Whitley, Kentucky.

Notes:

Nancy Jonckheere says here that they were married 24 Oct 1825.

Notes:

Born on 8 Apr 1824 in Claiborne County, Tennessee, Henderson came with his family to Whitley County, Kentucky, as a boy. On 3 Oct 1844, when he was 20, Henderson first married Sarah S. Patrick, daughter of Bryant Patrick & Nancy Davis, in Whitley County, Kentucky. Sally was born 13 Jan 1831 in North Carolina. Henderson was disabled in the course of his Army service during the Civil War, and never really recovered. About two months before his discharge from the Army, their oldest daughter died in childbirth. Sally's health was so impaired during the Civil War that she finally died in Whitley County on 2 Mar 1867, at the age of 36, when her youngest children (twins) were only 4 years old. He then married Nancy White [...] After 1880, Henderson, Nancy, and their unmarried children moved from Whitley County, Kentucky, to Piney in Franklin County, Arkansas. Henderson, Nancy, and some of their children later moved to Wister, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, where Henderson died on 11 Mar 1898; he was 73. He is buried in City Cemetery, Wister, Oklahoma.

He was then mustered into Company F of the 18th Kentucky Infantry in London, Kentucky on 20 Sep 1864. He served for at least 10 months. He was discharged early on 23 Jun 1865 near Louisville, Kentucky, essentially because the War had ended with the surrender of General Lee's forces in April of 1865.

He received a pension for his Civil War service. He he applied for it on 2 Jan 1884. After his death, it went to his widow, Nancy White Parker.

A part, if not all, of his treatment was smoking some kind of pipe with a medication in it."

A Pension Office document dated 14 Jan 1886, a photocopy of which is held by P & T Nielsen Hayden, states that he was disabled by "paralysis caused by wading in water waist deep."

More detail about the dates of his Civil War service can be found here.

From Ancestry of Elizabeth Louise White by Steven C. Perkins:

He was probably born 1750-55, as Nancy Jonckheere states that in 1777 he sold land inherited from his father, Richard. Was this the 330 acres in Bute County that he was devised? At that time he was stated to be a planter from Craven County. CHECK

He was probably born in Warren County, N.C., and about 1798 he came to the portion of Knox that is now Whitley County. He died between June and October 1829, based upon his appearance in Whitley County Court as a Commissioner in June and an Order in October that his son, Dempsey, return court records. CHECK whitley order book 1 for his signature. He is probably in an unmarked grave at Redbird; there is a marker for a John White, but the date of death appears to be 1896.

A John White was a taxpayer in Warren County, North Carolina in 1784. North Carolina Taxpayers, supra, v.2, p.217. A John White was a purchaser at an estate sale in Franklin County, N.C., confirmed in June of 1796, Bradley, Will Book B of Franklin County, North Carolina 1784-1804, 929.375654 qB811b 1988, p.16 and at a sale on 10 January 1799, p.38.

A John White is on the Knox tax rolls for 1804, with 300 acres of 2d class land on the Cumberland, 2 horses and 6 slaves. A John White appears in the 1810 and 1820 Knox County censuses, and in Lincoln County before that; a John White is on an 8/3/1790 Lincoln tax list. John White and John White, Sr. appear on an 1816 Knox County tax list. A John White appears on a 1788 Fayette County tax list, as do two Williams and a James. Some Pre-1800 Kentucky Tax Lists, supra, p.11. CHECK

On 28 September 1826 he granted Demcey (sic) White (a Whitley County resident) a Power of Attorney to deal with legacies he might be entitled to from the estates of his father, Richard White, or his mother, Elizabeth, in Franklin County, North Carolina. Whitley County Deed Book 1, p.145-6. Mark White was stated to be the Executor of Richard and Sherrod Celly/Kinney the administrator of Elizabeth. Decker (p. 305) says that Knox County Revolutionary War Veterans included John White of Virginia, and says that he is thought to have settled in Knox in about 1804; if so, that would not [may not] be our John.

*****

The "Demcey" White mentioned above is almost certainly the Dempsey White who is recorded in Collins's History of Kentucky as a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives for Whitley County in 1833, 1835, 1838, and 1839; he was a son of this John White, and his daughter Nancy White (1838-1928) was the second wife of Patrick's greatX3-grandfather William Henderson Parker (1824-1898).

John married Mary Shelton. Mary was born about 1760 in Virginia; died about 1824. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

James married Mourning Blanshard after 3 Apr 1784 in Gates County, North Carolina. Mourning was born in Mar 1768 in North Carolina; died in Sep 1834 in Whitley County, Kentucky; was buried in Red Bird Cemetery, Williamsburg, Whitley, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to P. Bryant, current maintainer of her Find a Grave page, she has been extensively confused with the Mahala Smith (1799-1882) who married Joseph Chestnutt Sumner (1793-1880). There appears to be no evidence that our Mourning (Blanshard) Sumner was called "Mahala" in her lifetime, despite the presence of that given name on her modern gravestone at Red Bird.

Bryant goes on to say that the two extant contemporary records of Mourning (Blanshard) Sumner are her Gates County marriage contract and the 1790 census, neither of which call her Mahala. The marriage contract does show her birth surname as Blanshard and calls her "of Hertford County." It also specifies that once married, she will continue to have full possession of the land and slaves that were hers before marriage. Witnesses were Starkey Sharp, Walter McFarlane, and Joseph Witherington. 3 Apr 1784.

(An Aaron Blanchard of Chowan County, North Carolina made his will on 15 Jul 1772, naming daughters Millicent, Mary, and Esther, wife Rachel, and "trusty friend" James Sumner, the latter of whom was also named an executor, leading many people, including us, to the hasty conclusion that Aaron was her father. But the James Sumner who married Mourning Blanshard would have been a young child at the time of Aaron Blanchard's will.)

Assertions that she was of Cherokee heritage are, to the best of our knowledge, baseless.

Sampson married Sarah "Sally" Elizabeth Davis before 1824 in Whitley County, Kentucky. Sarah (daughter of William "Billie" Davis and Sarah Rapier) was born on 8 Sep 1801; died on 2 Jun 1868 in Whitley County, Kentucky; was buried in John Parker Cemetery, Williamsburg, Whitley, Kentucky.
