Notes for John S. (Spouse 1)
(1) Collected records of Carl MARTIN, Rt. 9 Box 110, Ponca City, OK 74601.
(2) Information received in Mar 1998 from Donna Lee Sandusky Plummer, 422 W. Myrtlewood Court, Roseburg, Oregon 97470 phone: 541-673-8043. AFN: RCL4-55 B. date was listed as 1 Mar 1751/1757 instead of 1757.
(3) The following was taken from a manuscript compiled by Lester White of Shreveport, Louisiana, dated February 1934. Copied in part by Charles Leonard on 31 Jul 1961 (found in the Sparta, White, Tennessee library): John S. White enlisted in the Continental Army in 1776 from Amelia Co., Virginia and served three years with the rank of Fifer. Officers under whom he served were Captains Sanford and Alexander Parker and Col. Spotswood and the State was 2nd Virginia.

Battles he engaged in were Brandywine, Germantown, Stony Point and Yorktown and he was at the surrender of Cornwallis. He was mustered out of service at Richmond, Virginia.

Official record of his service is found in the Record Division I.S.C. Sur. File 3535, Rev. War of, the Bureau of Pensions, Dept. of the Interior, Washington, D.C. and on page 110 of the Tennessee Pension Roll and Census of Pensions for 1840, p 157.

The Oldest Marriage Book 1809-1859 White County, Tennessee was copied by Mary Fancher Mitchell [from the original book and loose records kept in a basement vault in the old courthouse {originals have disappeared}] and published by Sharon Johnson Doliante. More records from 1859-1880 are in the possession of Charles Leonard.
John White, Sr., a veteran of the Revolutionary War, and a native of Amelia County, Virginia, sold land he owned in Washington County, Virginia, on 18 October 1805, and together with his family (including son-in-law, John Scoggin, Jr.), moved into middle Tennessee. It's entirely possible, and even probable, that these men had previously explored the region they chose for their new home.
White County, Tennessee, originally encompassed all of what is now Warren County, as well as parts of the counties of Cannon, Coffee, De Kalb, Franklin, Grundy, Putnam, and Van Buren.

Another source to search for the White family records would be the GENEALOGICAL SERENDIPITY published by Sharon Johnson Doliante.
