Notes:
* Ben WHITE was born in the part of Frederick Co., VA that later became Shenandoah Co., VA. Shortly after marrying Nancy Goodwin they moved to Green Co., NC. This is supported in a land sale by Benjamin and his brother Brittain that was left to them by their father. January 27, 1791 Land Deed "...Britain WHITE of County Shenandoah, VA and Benjamin WHITE, now of Green Co., NC, both sons of William WHITE, deceased..." A few years later they settled on the south side of Christians Fork of Brush Creek in Montgomery Co., in the later part of 1787; this later became Giles Co., VA in 1806 where all eleven of their children were born. On April 26, 1819 they sold this property consisting of 38 8 acres to Daniel mcKenzie for four hundred dollars and moved to what is now Logan Co., WV. Their cabin was built on Buffalo Creek, a tributary of the Guyandot te River. They lived there for almost 20 years before moving again, across the mountains to Upper Pond Fork of Little Coal River in now what is Boone Co., WV.
