- Henry[1] White, son of Joseph White and Sarah Headley. Born,
circa 1765, in Anson Co., NC. Died, after 1830, in Perry Co., TN. Census:
1830, in Perry Co., TN. Henry White probably had a large number of children.
There are many white households on the page with Henry's in the 1830 census
of Perry County. The Whites in the fourth district of Decatur County in 1850
may all be his descendants.
He married Hannah Rushing, daughter of Phillip Rushing and Hannah. Born,
after 1770. Census: 1830, in Perry Co., TN. It is known that Hannah, the wife
of Henry White, was a Rushing. She is assigned here as a daughter of Phillip
primarily because Calvin Lacy, Phillip's guardian in 1838, is associated in
1830 census records with the White family. Also, Phillip Rushing's land
holdings in Anson County were adjacent to those of Joseph White. Children:
- Daniel[2] White.
- Robert White.
- Reuben R. White.
- Nancy White.
- Rebecca White.
- Isaac L. White.
- Henry H. White.
- William H. White. Born, circa 1812, in Anson Co., NC. Resided: after 1845,
in TX.
- Other Children. In "A Line of Whites," S. D. White, Sr., lists as children
of Henry White and Hannah Rushing sons Elijah (1801) and Burrell W. and
daughters Sally and Mary Ann. Albert White (1815), listed by S. D. White, Sr.,
as son of Henry White is treated in this database as a son of Reuben
White.

TN. Census: 1830, in Perry Co., TN. This is an hypothesis without proof.
Rebecca, wife of Abraham Harrell, probably was the daughter of Henry White.
In the 1830 census of Perry County, Tennessee. Abraham Harrell appears two
households away from Henry White and adjacent to Reuben White. This would
also be consistent with the close associations of Harrells and Whites with
Rushings in the 1790 census of Anson County, North Carolina; the use of the
name Reuben in descendant lines; and the choice of George W. Harrell as
court-appointed guardian of the children of Albert White and Martha Rushing.
She married Abraham Harrell, circa 1817. Born, 24 Jul 1793, in NC. Died, 27
Jul 1877. Burial in Brigance Cem., Decatur Co., TN. Occupation: Farmer. Abraham
Harrell may be the son of Mills Harrell whose undated will in Anson County, NC,
lists sons Abraham, Isham, David, and Isaac; heirs of Josiah Harrell; and
daughters Nancy, Horn, Rody, and Clara. In 1870 Abraham harrell is living in
the household of John H. Briggance. Children:

- Isaac L.[2] White (Henry, 1). Born,
circa 1801, in VA. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1860, in
Decatur Co., TN. Occupation: Farmer. J. D. White, Sr., in his "A Line of
Whites," does not include Isaac among the children of Henry White and Hannah
Rushing. This connection is arbitrary but is supported somewhat in that
Isaac's descendants use Concord Cemetery as do the other descendants of
Henry White. In his "History of Scotts Hill, Tennessee" Gordon Turner states
the burial place of William D. Johnston to be the White Cemetery in Dunbar.
This cemetery is called the Johnston Cemetery in the UDC's cemetery book.
This may be the burial place of Isaac White and his family.

She married John Wesley Fisher, son of Sylvaneous Fisher and Nancy Yarbrough
(Yarbro), 6 Apr 1837. Born, 6 Dec 1816, in Buncombe Co., NC. Died, 16 Feb 1906,
in Decatur Co., TN. Burial in Mt. Lebanon Cem., Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1850,
in Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1870, in Decatur Co., TN. Occupation: Minister. The
following is said to have been written by the Rev. John W. Fisher. The original
document was owned circa 1972 by Latham Blount, Decaturville, Tennessee: "I was
born December 6, 1866 on the road in Buncombe Co., NC while my parents were on
the way to Bedford Co., Tennessee. Am now in my 89th year. We lived in Bedford
Co., three years and went to Lost Creek in what was then Perry Co., Tennessee
but is now Decatur County. We went from there to Phillips Co., Arkansas, in
about 1821 and stayed there one year. Then came back to Lost Creek and have
lived in this neighborhood ever since. I professed religion in 1823 and joined
the Methodist church. I was licensed to exhort in 1840 and licensed to preach
in 1845 at OId Center Camp Ground. My first sermon was preached from the text
"I Am Now Ready to be Offered," (2 Tim: 4-6). I was ordained Deacon by Bishop
Capers at Trenton, Tennessee in 1850, and was ordained Elder by Bishop payne at
Paducah, Kentucky, in 1867. "I was married April 6, 1837 to Nancy G. White and
we lived together until she departed this life May 23, 1904. To us were born
eleven children, seven who preceded her to the good world. I am now very
delicate and don't expect it to be long before I will go to meet the loved ones
who have gone before me. I've had a great many to tell me that I was the
instrument to God's hand opf their conversion and many of then have already
gone home and will be there to meet me when I go. My address is Decaturville,
Tennessee, R.F.D." [The Fisher Scrap Book 1730-1972] Children:

- Albert[3] White (Reuben R., 4). Born,
18 Oct 1814, in NC. Died, 15 Mar 1885. Burial in Ebenezer Cem., Henderson
Co., TN. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1880, in Henderson Co.,
TN. Occupation: Farmer. One source lists Albert White as a son of Henry
White and Hannah Rushing. Based on age and location, he seems more likely to
have been a son of Reuben White. In the 1850 census Albert White is living
in Decaturville (household #57) near William H. Morgan (#58), Nicholas D.
White (#59), and Ruben White (#61). In the 1860 census Albert is still in
Decatur County but in 1870 and 1880 he appears in the Scotts Hill area of
Henderson County. The family of Albert White is interpreted in this database
by assigning Martha A. White in the 1850 census as Albert White's second
wife and all the younger Whites in the 1850 census as children of the first
marriage. Children listed in the 1870 and 1880 censes are assigned to the
second marriage. This grouping is proven in the records of settling the
estate of Enoch Deason Rushing in Sumter Co., AL, in the 1850s.
He married, first, Martha Rushing, daughter of David Rushing and Nancy
Deason, circa 1834. Died, before 1850. The children of Martha Rushing are
recorded in the probate records of the estate of Enoch Deason Rushing in Sumter
Co., Alabama. Thr probate record generally lists the children in the order in
which they later appear in the 1850 census. The probate records lists daughters
Frances White and Matilda White not listed in the 1850 census. One of these
probably is the Melvina listed in the census (Frances based on order). The
Sumter Co. probate records note that George W. Harrell had been appointed by
the Decatur Co. Court as guardian of Martha's children. Children:
- Richmond/Richard A.[4] White.
- William Egbert (Egg) White.
- Emily/Emeline J. White.
- Nancy E. White. Born, 17 Mar 1839. Died, 30 Mar 1928. Burial in Ebenezer

Died, 13 Nov 1877. Burial in Ebenezer Cem., Henderson Co., TN. Census: 1850, in
Decatur Co., TN. Martha A. White appears to have been a second wife of Albert
White. She may have died shortly after the 1870 census. She might be a Morgan.
In 1850 Albert White is living adjacent to William H. Morgan, and there is a
John G. Morgan living in Albert White's household. Children:

in Campground Cem., Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. Among
descendants of Eliza's granddaughter Sophia Rushing Moore there is an oral
tradition that Eliza was sister of Noah Williams. Another descendant line
from William Gilbert Rushing also records her to have been a Williams.
However, in the marriage record of her son Millard Fillmore Rushing in
Massac Co., Illinois, she is listed as Eliza White. Compare her April 20,
1819 birth date with the April 20, 1809, birth date listed by J. D. White,

source directly lists her as a daughter of reuben White.

Tennessee, October 1, 1875, Emily H., daughter of Bro. W.G. and sister Eliza
Rushing; aged fifteen years, seven months, and nineteen days. "Emily was not a
member of the church, but an earnest seeker at the altar in August before she
died in October; so, we trust, she now rest in peace with an older sister,
Catherine, a consistent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, at
Liberty, who accidentally shot herself the 4th of August, 1874. Also Mahaly,
who died August 24, 1871, the youngest daughter of Bro. Rushing, and the pet of
the family. The writer had the pleasure of instructing them all in
Sabbath-school; but little Emily, who outlived the others, was a very attentive
student in the Sabbath-school room, and endeared herself to the hearts of her
associates. They have left a large family of brothers and sisters who are very
near all members of our Church, and a large circle of friends who sorely mourn
their loss. "Bro. Rushing is an elder of the Liberty congregation, and has
battled long and hard for the cause of our blessed Master. Hold up your head,
Bro. and sister Rushing, you will soon cross the river, where the wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are at rest...." James M. Holley. Decaturville,

wrte the following in his "History of Scotts Hill, Tennessee." JOHNSTON, Dr.
William D.; C.S.A. No official identification available. Reports indicate that
he served as a doctor; other reports indicate that he may have served on his
own without official enlistment. Mrs. A. H. Taylor whose family lived near his
in the Dunbar area, thinks he was a regular enlisted soldier-physician. Anyway,
he died during the war near Clifton from either a wound or dysentery. He had
married Sarah Frances White and his body was brought back to White Cemetery
near Dunbar for burial. An impressive monument marks the grave. A son, Dr. C.
H. Johnston (known as "kit" to many) practiced in his home area for a short
time; then in the Shady Hill Community during which he made some calls in and
around Scotts Hill. He then moved his practice to Lexington until his death.
Known as a very good doctor, Dr. "Kit" never married but among his brothers
were: Gus J., Epp and W. D. ("Billy") Jr. Some of us remember Dr. Kit's love
for his widowed mother and his passing through Scotts Hill on horseback nearly
every weekend to visit her in the old home not far from Dunbar. Children:

district of Henderson county, died Saturday morning, January 26th, 1924,
after thirteen days of illness. He was taken ill on the 13th of January with
something like colic, afterward drifting into a condition resembling
paralysis and nine days before his death began to hiccough from which he
never got relief. Mr. White had reached the great age of 82 years--and we
can say that these years were filled with all that a well-earned good name
can give a man. . . . Mr. White was an extensive land holder. . . . He was
said to be a Methodist in belief but had not joined the church. ["Lexington
