Thank you! This is my Willis. I had thought his father was a Drury White but could not confirm. Had no idea who his mother was. Now, another question ----Is this the Andrew Drury White who moved from Tenn to Indiana? This one's wife was listed as Elizabeth Fields but I had found another earlier marriage listed on another site but the wife was not listed. Thanks again. You have made my day!

I am searching for information on my great-grandfather Willis White. He is listed as being in Conecuh County, Al and purchasing land with a Levi White. He is listed as being born around 1821 in South Carolina. The 1880 United States Federal Census list his mother's and father's birthplace as South Carolina. He married Martha Grice and together they had 10 children. I am descended from their son Evander Benjamin White. Some researchers believe that Willis is either a younger brother or a son of Levi(b. 1798) If he is a son then Levi would have been married before he married Elizabeth Bruster. If he is a younger brother, he doesn't fit into the family of Anderson White. I would appreciate any information on this White family.

Thanks! This is my great-grandfather. I had thought his father may have been a Drury White but had no idea who his mother was. Is this Drury( there must be dozens of Drurys) the one who moved from Tenn to Indiana and married Elizabeth Fields? I found one site which listed an earlier marriage but gave no wife's name. Thanks again. You have made my day!
