Notes for William White:
Your compiler has had William White approved as her ancestor
with the DAR.
The records indicate that William died and left Mary with
small children. The oldest child Jenny would have been about
19. The two oldest daughters may have been married when
their father died.
William White served in the American Revolution from South
Carolina as a Sargent. Mary, his widow filed for a Pension
(#5938) after he died. In the Pension file a Henry Holcomb
said he witnessed the marriage of Mary Simpson and William
White in Union County, S.C. and that a Baptist Preacher

Franklin County, Ga. Court of Ordinary: Appraisement of
Estate of William White June 9, 1809 - A negro woman named
Rachel, a negro boy named Peter, a negro girl named Moriah,
and another named Pusy.
Many other items appraised. William Philips, John ?, Abel
White
May 9, 1809 Court ordered that Mary White have Letter of
Administration on the estate of William White.
It is believed that this William descends from the Whites
that were from Ireland. The following info was found in book
entitled "Ancestral Records and Portraits - Colonial Dames
of America, Chapter 1, Vol. 1.
"The Colonists, Moses White, Mary Campbell his wife and
their son William came from the North of Ireland to
Lancaster County, PA and were the progenitors of the White
family of Lancaster County, S.C. Originally from the west of
Scotland, the family was one of many with similar descent
who came to America not far from the middle of the
eighteenth century. They were all strict Presbyterians.
Moses White had a patent of land in Lancaster County, PA in
1741.
As Early as 1722 one Hugh White lived in Lancaster County
and was a man of note. There were also Moses, John, and
Alexander White. Other White families moved south about
1750; some remained in North Carolina, and others passed
over into South Carolina. Lancaster County, in this State,
received its name because of the many settlers who came from
the same county in Pennsylvania. The upper part of this
southern state owed much to the White family, who were most
active in regard to its settlement and who proved to be
excellent men of affairs and noteworthy in their day. (this
found in William and Mary College Quar., Vol. VI, p52).
So far as is known, there were six children of Moses White,
all sons, William, Joseph, Moses, Henry, Hugh, and Stephen,
the youngest, who went to the western part of North Carolina
and had a large family.
The eldest child of the family, William White, had a grant
to land in Lancaster County, which he sold in 1749. He then
moved to the Waxhaws, S.C. and died there (later Lancaster
County, S.C.). He married Sarah ?. Ramsey's History of South
Carolina says she died in 1806 at the age of ninety. But
Governor Stephen Decatur Miller, who was born in
1788(grandson) says that she lived until he was about ten
years of age. Issue:
Jean, married Major Robert Crawford of Revolutionary fame.
Hugh married Mary, the daughter of Joseph White.
Margaret married Jesse Miller and they were the parents of
Governor Stephen
Decatur Miller.
Isabella married Andrew Foster
Christiana married James Crawford, Jr. a first cousin of
Andrew Jackson who persuaded them to move to Tennessee where
they left a large family.
John married first Nancy Ann Foster, second Margaret Harper
Moses married Jane Miller
???daughter married Captain John McClure killed at Hanging
Rock, 178076
HISTORY OF WHITE NAME:
The White line is well known back to the first century in
Wales. It is believed that the name of White was first given
to a Robert White, born abt.1215 A.D. He was so named
because of the color of his skin or hair. The Whites began a
migration from Wales to Scotland, Ireland, and England in
the early 13th century. Our possible ancestry is as follows:
Urban
There is no record of any birth parents.
Born abt.55 Wales
Died abt. 101 Wales
There is no record of any marriage
Tehvant ap Urban
There is no record of any birth mother. This continues on in
Wales until we meet Sir Walter White, first known person to
bear the name of White. He was knighted by Henry II abt.
1245. There is no record of his mother. Next we find Thomas
White, b. abt. 1240 Wales, then Robertus White b. abt. 1290
- next Willemus White, b. abt. 1290 England. Jonannes White,
b. abt. 1338 England, Johannes White, b. abt. 1368 England,
Robert White b. abt. 1390 England, John White b. abt. 1422
England. At some point in time some of the Whites migrated
to Scotland and Ireland.
Your compiler paid Professional Genealogist Brent Holcomb of
S.C. to help find the parents of this William White. After
several hours of research, Brent stated he could not
identify William's parents but he believes his ancestor John
White is a brother of our William White. There is a good
possibility that they descend from the Pennsylvania Whites
who moved to the WaxHaw Dist. of S.C. and settled Lancaster,
S.C.

Indian War Records: Widow's pension claimant Jerusha
Chandler age 94, widow of Ambrose Chandler, P.O. Box
Carrollton, Carroll Co., Ga. alleged that Ambrose was a
Private in Capt. Cleveland's Company and that he voluntered
to assist in the removal of the Cherokee Indians. Jerusha's

pension #3551 states that Ambrose died April 9, 1868, and
that he was about 60 years of age. Judge of Carroll County,
Ga. states that Jerusha Chandler appeared before him and
stated that her husband served in the Cherokee Indian War
and enlisted at Franklin Co. Ga. Carnesville under the name
Ambrose Chandler as a Private in Company commanded by Capt.
Wm. Cleaveland in regiment of Ga., Militia. commanded by
Col. Turk.. She thinks on or about 15 of May 1838 for term
of three months,and was discharged at New Town; she thinks
on 15 Sept. 1838. At the time of entering the service
claimed her said husband was 20 or 25 years of age, five
feet 11 inches with dark gray eyes, black hair, dark
complexion, occupation a farmer. I don't know what county he
was born in but he was born in North Carolina. After leaving
the service he resided at Franklin Co., Ga 15 years with his
father Richard, and at Carroll Co., Ga. 23 years. She
married him 4 May 1827 at Franklin Co., Ga. by Charles
Jenkins, JP, under the name Jerusha White. Stated that she
has not been married previously, that her said husband died
at Carrollton on 9 April 1868. She thinks he was about 60
years of age at that time.
Note on Claim: " Widow Jerusha Chandler has gone to the
realm of the far away land no devil can ever molest her,
with a crown on her head and a harp in her hand. God bless
her she is dead," Carrollton Oct. 26, 1894
G. W. Merrell, Atty: If the above named claiment has gone to
heaven from which is said no citizen of the far better land,
she no longer cares for Uncle Sam's gold so it only remains
for her friends to be told that her claim is rejected and
filed with the Interior Bureau of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Oct. 20, 1894
Gentlemen, the above named claimant's family and friends
should be advised that her husband's name could not be found
on the rolls of Captain Cleveland's Company and that no
further action can be taken until the correct service of
Ambrose Chandler can be furnished.
Ambrose was probably named for his uncle Ambrose Parks. His
grave has not been located.

William W. Chandler fought for the Confederate Army. He died
in
Winchester Va. Hospital, November 18, 1862. He was a
Private.

Georgia Volunteer
Infantry Army of Tennessee CSA, Carroll County, Ga. Guards.
He was
buried in Stonewall Jackson Cemetery, Winchester, Va.
William married Lucy, daughter of Miles Holloway and Jane
Cash.
Susan shows that a daughter, named Margaret, was born after
William's death in 1862. She shows date of 1863 only. Of
course, Lucy could have been pregnant before William left
for Winchester, Va. in the Civil War. Editor's note: I show
a Margaret born in 1856. Were there two Margarets?
Lucy is found living in the house of her son-in-law Thomas
Patterson on the 1900 Carroll Co., Ga. census. Her age is
incorrect but the census states she was born in January.

Notes for Lucy Campbell Holloway:
On the 1850 census W. W. Chandler is living next door to
Lucy's parents, Solomon Holloway. Will have to prove lineage
here since marriage record gives no clues to either's
parentage and Lucy married before the 1850 cenus was taken.
Only circumstantial evidence proves that Lucy is the
daughter of Solomon Miles Holloway and Jane Cash.
Lucy died while living with daughter Margaret and son-in-law

James Benjamin McClain is found on the 1900 Cleburne County,
Alabama census, page 271 as follows:
He is shown on this census as being born in July 1856.
Census states that Martha Ann is the mother of six children
(4 living). Relatives state the son named "Penn" on this
census is actually a female.

Benjamin's first wife, Mary "Molly" died of thyphoid fever
in 1884 in Cleburne, Co., Al. (Abernathy District). She left
him with 4 children under the age of six.
James Benjamin's second wife Martha Ann Mobley is found here
on the 1900 census with her mother, Annie Jane first married
Joseph Chapel Mobley and then married an Owens (was widowed
twice). James married six times. The third wife was Sally
Wiggans (mar. 5/9/1914), the fourth wife was Louisana
Strength (mar. 8/20/1921), the fifth wife was Sarah Alice
Weathington Boatright (mar. bef.1928). Laura Ann Yarbrough
Hall) sixth wife signed his death certificate. He had
children by the first two wives only.
Information obtained June 30, 2003 in an interview with
Cousin Estelle Boatright Messer, age 94 (a granddaughter of
J. B. McClain) is as follows: She states that one of her
grandfather's wives was her widowed Grandmother Boatright
whose name was Sarah Alice Weathington She said that her
grandfather McClain married sisters, but that she did not
know their names. After the first sister died, he then
married her older sister (90 years old and ailing) who was
living with them because he could not live with her and take
care of her without gossip. She had nobody to take care of
her and no place to move to, so he married her. More
research will have to be done to put the wives in the
correct order of marriage. She stated that he was a smart,
kind old man. He always had a garden and planted fruit and
nut trees(as well as grape vines) every place he lived.
James Benjaman was the son of Josiah Marion McClain, b. 1840
DeKalb Co., Ga. and Julia Ann America King, b, 17 Mar. 1841,
Carroll County, Ga. married 1857 in Carroll County, Ga.
In 1914 James, a farmer, was a registered voter in the
Turkey Creek Dist. 1240, Carroll County, Ga. James fathered
four children by his first wife and seven by his second wife
and ended up marrying six times. He was widowed four times,
divorced once, and left the last wife a widow. His first
wife was Mary "Molly"Chandler (died), 2nd was Martha Ann
Mobley (died), (proven). The dates of the other marriages
not known for sure nor the order. 3rd, was Sally Wiggans
(died)?, 4th was Louisanna Strength (died)?, fifth was
Boatright lady (divorced), and sixth was Laura Jane
Yarbrough.
Sources: 1. James Benjamin McClain family info & copy of
bible info - contributed to the Neva Lomason Library Special
Collections,Carrollton, GA by John W. Reese, Jr. and
Virginia Tuttle. 2. "Our Smith/King Families" book by
McBride, censuses and marriage records. No mention of more
than the first two wives in this bible.
Your compiler remembers her great grandfather McClain. She
was nine years old when he died. He bought a small farm
(about 100 acres with a house on it) in the Ridgegrove
Community in Lee County, AL. near his daughter Laura, her
grandmother. He sold this house and land to his daughter
Laura Clements in 1934. He and his daughter lived about 1/3
mile apart when he bought the farm. Laura and her husband
were renting their land from the Sanford family of Opelika.
The cause of death of his wives varied. His first wife died
of typhoid fever leaving four little children, the oldest
was Laura, about six years of age. James Benjamin (called
Jim) was about 6' tall, brown eyes, (brown curly hair before
it turned gray), olive complexion), large bone structure but
thin. He was probably quite handsome in his youth. His
daughter Laura, my grandmother, looked a lot like him, with
olive complexion, dark wavy hair, and brown eyes (she was
about 5'7" tall) with nice facial features.
The following letter was written to John Reese of Utah in
1976 by Enoch Smith, Rt. 4, Box 155, Heflin, Ala. It seems
John had asked for some church records and Enoch was
researching for John. I cite this information because it
definitely ties in our James Benjamin McClain to the McLain/McClains
of Acworth, and Cobb County, Ga. Records of Harmony
Primitive Baptist Church, Cleburne Co., Al (formerly Carroll
Co): "James McClaine joined Nov. 28, 1879; Julia Ann McClain
joined 1894; John Free joined Aug. 10, 1885; sister M. J.
Free by acceptance of grace; receivied J. J. McClaine by
letter; received brother J. H. McClain by acceptance of
grace (baptized July 18, 1895). Brother J. B. McClaine
served as a delegate to our sister church at (Mars Hill,
Acworth, Ga. in 1896.
(Note: Jim's grandfather Josiah McLain and many other
McLains are buried at this Mars Hill cemetery located in
Cobb County between Acworth and Marietta.)
Dear Brother Reese sorry I have not found more on these
names you requested information on but our old Records Book
is in bad shape from 1860 to 1920. It has faded out until I
just cannot read it............You might find more
information at Poplar Springs Church in Carroll Co., Ga.
that might be your best bet, so I will hush by asking you
say pray for me and mine. My wife and myself has retired and
we are 70 years old and enjoying life pretty good. Good
night. My membership is at Harmony Church."
James B. McClain is found on the 1880 Cleburne Co., Al.
census (Abernathy Dist.), NA Film 1254008, Film T9-0008,
Page 190D as follows:
James B. McClain, age 22, b. Ga.
Mary F. G. McClain, wife, age 27, b. Ga
Laura J. E. McClain, dau. age 2, b. Ga.
Lucy A. A., dau. age 3 months, b. AL.
In the same area is Mary "Molly" Chandler McClain's sister
Margaret who is married to Thomas J. Patison (or Patterson).
Many of the Chandlers moved to Cleburne County, Al. before
1880.
Note: Life was very hard for my gr. granfather McClain.
First, his father goes off to the Civil War then he deserts
his first wife and four children. Both his grandfather
Benjamin King and William Chandler died in the Civil War.
The families had to struggle to survive. Neither of the
grandfathers were wealthy. There are no records of them
owning slaves. It is thought that Benjamin was a "tanner" as
well as farmer. Records show they were religious people and
attended church. Only one of every 10 families in the South
owned slaves.
He married, and for a few years was happy it seems. The wife
died leaving him with 4 small children to care for.
Naturally, he found another wife as quickly as possible. By
the second wife he had nine more children. These also
probably were happy years; then the second wife died and he
was left with minor children to raise again, but the older
children evidently helped him. We do not know the dates of
his other marriages.
Your compiler has not tried to research the ancestors of any
of James B. McClain's wives except his first, great
grandmother of this compiler (Mary F.J. Chandler McClain)..
She has sent many hours trying to find the immigrant
ancestor this J. B.McClain.

Notes for William Pattterson Coffey:
According to "The Heritage of Cleburne County, Alabama"
(Page 187-188), he worked for Southern Railroad doing
rockwork on tunnels between Birmingham,AL and Atlanta, GA.
While working at a Saw Mill, a boiler exploded that broke
his leg and blinded him in one eye, therefore rendering him
incapicated for general labor, When Will and Georgia
married, they started out with only a sick of Cornmeal and
Salt. The only farming implement they had was a socbohoe
(used for cookign hoe cakes or gradening). They lived
primitively for several months until they built their first
log cabin with a chimney made from sticks and mud. The
furniture was handmade. The cabin later burned and they
built another one. (Submitted by Junior Shealy of Waco, GA).
According to Jack Coffey, John's son, he was officially a
farmer, but also had dealings with moonshiners.

Thomas was the son of Benjamin King and Mary Burson.
Thomas Hiram King enlisted on March 4, 1862 in Carrollton,
GA, as a Private in Co. "H", 41st Reg. GA, Volunteer
Infantry, also known as "The Wool Hat Boys" with his father
Benjamin King. He was wounded, permanently disabled and
captured at Vicksburg, MS, on 4 Jul 1863, paroled there July
16, 1863. Roll for 31 December 1863, last on file, shows him
absent and sick. Pension records show he contracted
rhematism July 1863 and was furloughed for thirty days which
extended until the close of the war. An affidavit submitted
by William McMichale as a witness for Matilda contained the
data that he served with Thomas and that Thomas did not come
back into service after Vicksburg fell. He stayed at home
because he was disabled from rheumatism and that when he had
seen Thomas, he was on crutches. He never recovered. On June
15 1900, they were enumerated in Smithfield, Carroll County,
Ga. Thomas died in 1904 and his wife Matilda died in 1910.
Matilda's pension application (dated March 2, 1904) stated
that she lived in Barge, Carroll County, Ga. and that she
had a weak heart, rheumatism, general disability and
feebleness. She lived with her children who were supporting
her. Her only property was household goods worth about
$30-$40. It was signed March 2, 1904. Her witnesses were:
William McMichael and her physicians W.W. and W. L. Fitts.
The Pension records show that Matilda was to get a pension
of $60 per year, from 1906 to 1910 Carroll County Cemetery
records show her death as August 18, 1905. The 1900 census
records list 10 of 12 children, all born in Carroll County.
Charity Matilda Chandler was the daughter of Ambrose and
Jerusha White Chandler and the sister of William W. Chandler
who died in the Civil War in Winchester, Virginia. She also
lost her father-in-law, Benjamin King, in the war. The
Chandlers and Kings of Carroll County, Ga. were hit hard by

Virginia,
I have studied your White genealogy and mostly what
I’m looking for is a connection to Georgia.
The estate papers I have on Simpson’s out of Union

Nancy Mayes, wife of Joseph Mayes (Mays)
No will in this estate. No White’s at the estate
sale. There is mention of tax paid on land in
Georgia.
A note I have in my files and I didn’t write down
where I copied it from (but it was a book and not
the internet). March 1815, Court of Equity at Union
Court House for Pinckney Equity District, Mary L.
Davison Petition ordered Josh (Joseph?) Mays be
apptd guardian to care and manage property from
death of Uncle, William T. Simpson, Esq. From the
estate papers it appears that Mr. Simpson was an
attorney and did business in Spartanburg County as
well.

For me, I’m wondering how my William Simpson’s

Georgia. William’s father is David and his mother,
Sarah (LNU). William M. and Mary married February
23, 1871. David Graham and a Martin Graham are found
in 1840 and 1850 Hall County, GA censuses. David
Graham is in Floyd County in 1860 and Forsyth County
in 1870. Martin Graham had a son named James David
Graham who married Georgia Chandler (second wife)
and she may have been married previously. His first
wife was Virginia Nuckolls of Whitfield County,
Georgia. James D. Graham and Georgia are both buried
in Whitfield County and they were in this county
from 1901 until their deaths. My Grgrgrandfather and
his son, Richard A. Simpson were in Whitfield County
in 1900. So, it makes you think that there were
Simpson relatives in Georgia or Graham relatives in
South Carolina.
At any rate, I’ll keep looking. It just may be that
we are connected and just haven’t found it yet. Your
Mary Simpson could be my William Simpson’s aunt. I
will keep your information and follow up if I ever
find anything and I hope you will do the same.
