Hello List,
I am new to this list. I am searching for George WHITE, born about
1800 in Scotland. Unknown for sure the area, but it may have been near
Edinburgh. I have a note from someone telling a cousin what is known of
him. Apparently, George was a very stubburn lad. He wanted to come to
America and settle. Well, this didn't agree with his papa, so he runs
away. His papa catches up to him near Edinburgh. Papa consents and
gives his permission for him to go to America. By 1825, a son is born
to him, William Alexander WHITE. They were located near
Wheeling at this time. By 1840, they were in Memphis, Tn. George's
occupation was said to be with the railroad. He was said to be on the
first train to cross Ms? (Need to know what company the first train was
with?)

By 1853, William Alexander is getting married in Ms. I have much of his
line down. But need help finding more on George WHITE, born Scotland.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Debbie
