The immigrant history of the White, Holloway and Loving familes is a mystery.
They may have known each other in Virginia. The forenames of all three families
indicate their early immigrant ancestors came over to Virginia, which included
what became the Carolinas, and not the Northern Colonies. A
Study of Forenames
compares the forenames of Roanoke Island and Puritan New England.
Roanoke Island, near the present
North Carolina and Virginia border, was a settlement founded by a John White,
that supposedly vanished by the time White returned to it from England. The ancestry
of John White is not known but ship lists of arrivals to the Island contain persons
named White and Taylor. Recently (in 2015), evidence has been unearthed that
indicates that Roanoke Island settlers may have survived and moved inland. |

Father James was most likely named for James Taylor (1635-1698), a wealthy and powerful
leader of King & Queen County, who owned land next to his grandfather,
Thomas White. On Oct 20, 1689 Taylor was involved
in a land patent of 209 acres in St. Stephen's Parish, "on the North side of
Mattapony River, beginning below James Taylor's plantation, ... to Thomas White's." |

There are court records that survived from King & Queen County Virginia that
show that the Poe and White families lived in the part that became Caroline County
in 1758. In 1732 and 1733, a John Pickett was involved in trespass suits with
James and Benjamin Poe, probably Elizabeth's sister and the son of
Samuel Poe. Caroline County Virginia was formed
in 1727 (see present day map
for location), from northern and western parts of King and Queen, King William
and Essex counties, about the same time James and Elizabeth Poe were married. |

About 1752 William married Sophia Davenport. Brother James married
Jerushka Davenport (1744?-1785?) by 1765. Sophia and Jerusha were daughters of
Thomas Davenport (1711-1809). |
||||
|
In Mar and Nov of 1757, father James Taylor White was granted 300 acres in Peedee
SC and 150 acres in Williamsburg Township, respectively [SC Archives, Columbia SC,
Aug 1971, Council Journal No 26, p. 67, 79. Referenced in Gifford White,
James Taylor White of Virginia and ..., p.37]. |
||||
|
The land granted in SC is in what was once Craven County, one of the three original
parts of the English colony of "Carolana". By 1760, the White family was attending the
Cashaway Neck Baptist Church along the Pee Dee River just east of present-day
Darlington SC. |
||||
|
In 1760, brother James is mentioned in the records of the Cashaway Baptist church: On "Sat 25 Oct 1760 ... Mr. James White for excess drinking be suspended from this church until satisfaction be given... 20 June 1767 .. on Cashaway Neck on Pee Dee in Craven County. The names of all the members... Elizabeth White .. gone." Sister Jane was married in or before 1760, and Elizabeth married five years later. |

About 1764, brother John married Sarah Gambill
(1745-1828), whose mother was Mary Davenport.
On May 27, 1800 their son John Jesse was baptised at the age of 22 at the St.
Martin of Tours Church in St. Martinville LA. The church record states his
grandparents as "James Teleur White and Elisabeth Poe, ... natives of
Virginia". |
||||
|
William and brother Reuben, along with brother-in-law
John Holloway,
and brother-in-law William Loving were members
of a SC militia defeated at Marr's Bluff SC, at the hands of Regulators, on Jul 25, 1768.
William White was wounded, losing use of his right arm so that he could not
continue his trade as a cooper (barrel maker).
Excerpt
from the book The South Carolina Regulators by Richard Maxwell Brown
gives a background and summary of the incident. |
||||
|
In "Charles-Town", the incident at Marr's Bluff prompted the legislature to
"lay before the public" information about these Regulators; specifically, that those
headed by Gideon Gibson were "rogue" bandits, not to be confused with the "honest"
Regulators. The following was recorded there later in the year 1768: "If we are to credit the despositions? of George Thomson, William Loving, James White, Stephen Sebastian, Godfrey Kersay, John Holloway, Reuben White and William White produced to us by Robert Weaver, Esq. of Marr's Bluff, the conduct of Gideon Gibson was not misrepresented in this paper of the 16th of August last, unless by the omission of sone aggravating circumstances" [Warren, p. 372]. |
||||
|
August 15, 1770 petition by William White
seeking government relief from South Carolina for him and his family. That year,
brother Reuben apparently bought William's land in St. David's parish, Craven Co,
SC so that William could pay off his debts. William is in jail for debt in Cheraws SC in
1774. In his petition, William describes raising three orphans of his wife's relatives. |
||||
|
Wife Sophia had a sister Susanna who married a man named Cole and had three children
before she died in VA by Jul 1763 [Vineyard, p. 294]. One of the orphans was named
Alexander Cole who was old enough to witness the deed of gift of brother Reuben
to Sophia in Dec 1773 in SC. In 1777, Alexander was also in Burke Co. NC where
the Whites relocated, making oath to the deed he witnessed in SC. |
||||
|
Daughter Mary married George Hickman (1755-1803?) on Mar 2, 1772
"over Jefferies Creek" in SC. He died about 1803. In 1805 William was appointed
guardian of their four minor children after Mary had remarried and moved to
Wilkes Co. NC. |
||||
|
On Feb 22, 1772, brother Reuben married Amelia "Milly" Allen, the daughter of
Erasmus Withers Allen, and had a daughter Mary.
Before he was killed at Pleasant Gardens in Oct 1776,
Reuben had left his wife. In a
sworn deposition before Thomas Powe in SC on Jan 5, 1778, a Thomas McCall said
that he asked Reuben why he left his wife. Reuben told him
that "she was a very good Woman, but that she was not agreeable to his humor and
that he would not confine himself to any Woman that would not" [Gifford E. White,
"Documents on Estate of Reuben White, pp. 4-5]. |
||||
|
On Dec 13, 1773 Reuben recorded in Craven Co. SC a
Deed of Gift to sister-in-law
Sophia White, wife of William, that was
filed in SC in 1777 after Reuben died. It identifies the children of William and
Sophia living in 1773 as Mary Hickman, Phobe, Sarah, Betsy, Taylor, Ann, Cary,
Anthony, Thomas and Reuben. |
||||
|
There is a record of brother Reuben being in Globe, Burke Co. NC in 1772. Reuben
entered Captain Joseph McDowell's NC Militia in 1776 and was killed at Pleasant
Gardens (then in Rowan Co. NC near Old Fort) in October of that year. He left
his land in SC to sister-in-law Sophia, wife of William, in a deed
of gift dated Dec 13, 1773 that was filed in SC in 1777. By 1777 - The entire
White family had moved to Burke Co. NC. [Gifford White]. |
||||
|
While in South Carolina, the White family was not sympathetic to the American
Revolution and left a trail of litigation in the state. The family moved to
what became Burke Co NC, then split with some members moving to Washington Co. NC
(now Tennessee) and the rest remaining in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC.
The split appears to have occurred after brother Reuben was killed by Indians in 1776
at Pleasant Gardens NC and Patriots won the Battle of King's Mountain in Oct 1780.
Father James and William opted for the patriot side and stayed in NC while others
eventually travelled down the Mississippi River. During the American Revolution,
the Mississippi and Louisiana Territories were havens for Loyalists. |
||||
|
From 1772 until 1881, the following land transactions involving the White family
occurred in the Pee Dee River area of Craven County in chronological order: Sep 17, 1772 - James Taylor White, 300 acres Craven on south side of Swift Creek, adjacent to lands of William Standard, George Kings, and land laid out for William White; District Surveyor: John Henderson. Plat Book v. 21:426. Oct 10, 1772 - James White, 200 acres Craven County Polk swamp, adjacent to John Baxter and John Hollowy [sic] and vacant land; District Surveyor: Thos. Powe. Plat Book v. 21:424. Dec 10, 1772 Reuben White, 600 acres Craven in fork of Little Pee Dee and Drownding Creek on Bell Swamp: District Surveyor: John McCall. Plat Book v. 21:431. Jun 14, 1773 - Reuben White, 500 acres Craven on North side of Little Pedee adjacent to Hugh Thompson. District Surveyor: Thos. Powe. Plat Book v. 21:431.

Plat Book v. 21:433. [Note that a possible relative of James Taylor White's wife is listed as the surveyor on several of these records.] |
||||
|
In Jun 1774, William was jailed at the Long Bluff Gaol in Cheraws SC for unpaid debt
to a James Gordon. Brother Reuben paid off the bond and the debt to release him
according to sworn statement
of James Gregg before Justice of the Peace Thomas Powe in SC on Jan 1778
[Gifford E. White, "Documents on Estate of Reuben White, pp. 5]. |
||||
|
By 1775 daughter Sarah married Thomas White, Jr., the son of
William's uncle Thomas White (Sr.). One of their daughters,
Sophia White Sims, was the second wife of Davenport Wiseman (1771-1820) in MS.
Davenport Wiseman had married his first wife in Burke Co. in 1796. He is listed
on the Claiborne Co. 1810 Tax Roll (Big Sandy Creek) along with Thomas White Jr.
(Bayou Pierre) and is son Reuben White (West Bayou Pierre). |
||||
|
On May 6, 1777 William was summoned to Rowan County Courthouse in Salisbury NC for
having "purpose of defrauding Widow and Orphan" of the deceased Reuben White.
William was required to return to render an account and further security of the
estate. On May 13, he was jailed for failure to do that. Prior to that, on May
8, the court heard the sworn statement
of Thomas Powe and sworn statement
of William Dewitt, probably William Dewitt,
militiaman and special juror for the Cheraws District in SC. Both statements characterized
William as "a dishonest man" [Gifford E. White, "Documents on Estate of Reuben White,
pp. 1-3]. |

On Aug 20, 1777, at the house of Col. Charles McDowell
at Quaker Meadows, Alexander Cole made oath that he had witnessed along with George
Hickman, "Reuben White sign seal and deliver the deed of ten negroes & sundry other
items as his own free & voluntary act & deed for the uses & purposes mentioned"
from Reuben White to the wife and children of William White. This was done in the
presence of Reuben's widow, her father Erasmus Allen, and a great many other persons
[Vineyard, p. 96]. The deed of gift, dated Dec 13, 1773, by Reuben to William's wife Sophia lists William's children at that time in SC as being Mary Hickman, Phoebe, Sarah, Betsy, Taylor, Ann, Cary, Anthony, Thomas and Reuben. |
||||
|
A warrant is issued in Burke Co NC in 1777 for William relating to the security of
the late Reuben's estate. William served as Justice of the Peace in Burke Co. from
1782 to 1790. About 1787, William became the guardian of nephew
George Holloway as orphan. He also became
a leader of the Methodist community. His plantation, Mulberry Grove, was located
where the Mulberry Creek flows into the Johns River at what is now Collettsville,
Caldwell Co, NC. Father James Taylor White is believed to have died there by 1790. |

In 1779, daughter Betty married Parmenas Taylor (1758-1827) in Burke Co. NC.
Taylor was one of the militiamen in the Burke Co. regiment. In the spring of 1780,
they moved to Washington Co. (later Jefferson Co. TN) along the French Broad River.
He died in 1827 at the age of 74. She died at the age of about 78 in 1838. His older
brother Leroy Taylor also moved to Washington Co., possibly with them. In Sep 1832,
for his NC service pension from 1776 to 1779, Leroy described volunteering in
the NC Militia and marching to "the head of the Catawba River, a place called
Pleasant Gardens" where he was "appointed by Col. [Charles] McDowell to command
the company after the death of his Captain, Reuben White" [M.L. Vineyard, p.195]. |
||||
|
In 1780, John Browning, who married Dorotha a daughter of
Thomas Davenport, and Alexander Cole,
orphaned son of Thomas' daughter Susanna Cole, surveyed 100 acres of land on
White's Mill Creek for Parmenus Taylor who married William's daughter "Betty".
White's Mill Creek was named for the mill run by John White, son of uncle William
White the brother of this William's father James Taylor White.
John White married Sarah Collett by 1760. [M.L. Vineyard, p. 131]. |
||||
|
Cousin John White married Sarah Collete by 1760. The town of Collettsville
was named for her family.
Present day map shows Collettsville, Mulberry Creek and Johns River.
Holloway Mountain is further east on Route 90. |
||||
|
In 1781 sister Elizabeth and her husband
John Holloway and family, decided to go to
Natchez, then in French-Spanish territory, "in order to escape the Revolution". |
||||
|
Daughter Catherine, called "Cary" by other Whites, married widower
William Dewitt (1750?-1788?) in late 1781.
In May 1782, they were a family of five among 13 other families that travelled
down the Mississippi River on flatboats to the Natchez District. Among them were
the families of two of William White's brothers, "Juan White,
wife and children", and "Tiago White, wife and children". |
||||
|
It is known that brothers John and James, arrived in Natchez in May 1782 with
their families and one slave each. James would soon die. By 1785, of father
James Taylor White's six known children, two would be dead, two would be living
in the Natchez District, and two would settle in the North Carolina mountains. |
||||
|
A petition of father James Taylor White and others of Burke Co. NC, presented by
a Mr. McDowall, was read on Nov 28, 1785 and referred to a joint Committee. |
||||
|

Thomas White Sr.. |
||||
|
About 1788 daughter Cary married Henry Milburn of the Natchez District and
had given birth to three more children. By Sep 1818 she may have married again,
becoming Mrs. Anthony, since "Cary Anthony ... gave power of attorney from State of La.
5 Sept. 1818 to Benj. White who gave power of attorney to Wm. Davenport, 26 Oct.
1818 ..." [Burke Co. NC Court Minutes]. |
||||

|
About 1792, son Thomas D. White married Letitia "Letty" Estes (1773-1841) and moved
to Franklin Co. TN by Jan 1815 when a deed transaction from him to Charles Collett
is proved. Others moving there included cousin John Wiseman and Hickman children

along with John and
James Holloway, sons of sister

which became known as Holloway Prairie, where they obtained Spanish land grants
and engaged in the cattle business. Many of the Anglo families of the Deville
area came there from Natchez. Mississippi was not admitted to the Union of States
until 1817. |
||||
|
Bishop Francis Asbury made annual stops at
the Burke Co. NC home of William White in the 1790s. In his journal entry for
Oct 22, 1799, Bishop Asbury wrote: "We had a serious ride of thirty miles to
William White's, Esquire, upon Johns River, Burke County ... Our quarterly
meeting was held at William White's, Esquire, and grand patriarch of this settlement, whose family
of children, grandchildren etc are numerous and extensively established here"
[Clarke, et al., p. ]. |
||||
|
About 1795, George Holloway was converted
to Methodism by Rev. Jesse Lee (1758-1816) who travelled with
Bishop Francis Asbury from about 1797-1800
"through the whole length of the country" [Moore]. |

On Sep 7, 1818, daughter Sarah and son? Samuel White in Mississippi transfered their power of attorney to same Benjamin White in NC, which was recorded as received in NC Oct 26, 1818 [Gifford White p. 74, Vineyard, p. 363]. |
||||
