Jr. Lineage, but from his Brother Elias. 2. I have taken all available Genetic DNA Test at FamilyTreeDNA.com 3. My DNA results have shown that our White DNA has
connections to White families and other surnames 4. It is not a perfect match, but indicates some DNA relationship to some White's in the Hanover Co area. |

Baptist Newspapers of South Carolina, 1866-1887 The Working Christian Issue of April 14, 1870 page 121 Marriages & Deaths, Baptist Newspapers, SC, 1866-1887 About the first of March, Miss Peggy Underwood, as she was familiarly called by her friends and associates, was seized with a violent attack of pneumonia which terminated her mortal existence.... She had been a member of the Baptist church at Cedar Springs, Spartanburg county for at least thirty years. She was a daughter of William Underwood Sr., who served as a deacon in that church to the day of his death, being, I suppose, nearly eighty years of age. William Underwood and his associate in the deaconship, William Lancaster "seemed to be pillows in the church," more than half a century ago . Lancaster died in 1814 and after that time underwood was associated in his office with some younger men: David Golightly, Thomas Cooper, and Robert White.... Friend.

| Robert Jr's Obituary
Source:
"The Christian Index & Southwestern Baptist Can obtain from: Georgia Department of Archives of History ================ This
Same Obituary appeared in the It was tradition to place distinguished members in Multiple newspapers Robert's Obituary reads as follows:
"ROBERT WHITE, who died at his residence near Cedar Springs, "He was born in Union County, then District, [Error NC], then District, on the ---day of ----, 1784. [16 Mar], and was in his ninety-sixth year when he died. When a youth he united with the Padgett Creek church in his native District. In 1815 [1818] he moved to Spartanburg district and settled near Cedar Springs where he continued to reside until the day of his death. On moving to his new home he at once changed his membership to the church at that place. In 1821 he was elected a deacon of Cedar Springs church, which office he retained, and by his Christian conduct adorned the balance of his life - thus continuing for fifty-nine years a deacon of the church where he was ordained. "His most distinguishing characteristics were his earnest Christian piety and his devotion to duty. During his long life his seat was never once vacant when service was held in his church, unless physically disabled, or kept away by some family affliction which rarely happened, in cold, heat, in rain or sunshine, his pastor could always rely upon the encouragement of his presence. He loved his church and all its ordinances. "The Sabbath-school, too, was his delight. His modesty and distrust of his own merit were so great that he could never be prevailed upon to take a class, yet he was punctual and constant attendant. "Unwilling to assume the responsibility of a teacher he was always anxious to be a learner. And as in church so in Sunday-school, if his seat was vacant, it was a subject of remark and it was at once known that he was either sick or that something unusual had transpired in his family. The end of such a man could be nothing less than perfect peace, and though dead he yet speaketh in the impress he has left upon others. "Happy the man who like ROBERT WHITE can, when he comes to die, look back upon a life where youth, manhood, and old age had been spent in doing all the good he could in the sphere in which he lived and labored. "The rich fragrance which lingers around a life thus spent will long rise, like precious incense, to shed its blessings upon all around." A Friend |
