White and Eliza Caroline Wharton. I have done a good bit of research and spearheaded the effort to restore the cemetery on Lischey Ave., which Debby Cox has described so well. You can reach me at alleencater@icloud.com, and I will try to help you sort out the connections.

White born in 1834, according to family trees posted there. There is a George W. White in Gen. White's family tree born in 1819. If you wish to share more info on our grandfather it will help anyone wanting to help you.Nashville Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469809363224265156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404245910754134433.post-16285086691172345902022-06-09T20:12:54.244-05:002022-06-09T20:12:54.244-05:00So very interesting.

However, I have been able to make no verifiable connection. My Grandfather, Silas Quinton White, was born and lived in Oxford MS. Would you have any possible information to help me make a connection?

I am a descendant of his brother, Dr. George Wharton White, who lived around the corner, in a two-story home on Hwy 31, across from the Episcopal Church. That home is now divided up into several retail spaces. I know that George's youngest daughter died of dypththeria in Nov. 1861 at Aaron's home, and that another daughter was married there in 1867 (my great-grandmother). Please tell me what else you know about Aaron's home, including its current status. Last time I saw it, it looked terrible. I have never been inside. Thanks so much.ACaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589379828874033212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404245910754134433.post-67487548357197660972017-07-26T21:11:47.121-05:002017-07-26T21:11:47.121-05:00Hello Devon, thanks for reading my blog.

In the 1890's the Joy family remodeled and added to both houses. If you are on facebook, message me and I will send you an image of the other house. I don't know which son the house at 1431 was built for but suspect it was Arthur who married in 1839. Arthur and his wife are buried in the cemetery there.Nashville Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469809363224265156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404245910754134433.post-13649543797546921912017-07-26T14:00:11.734-05:002017-07-26T14:00:11.734-05:00Hi, I'm Devon.

I would love to meet any descendants of White, as I believe he built the kitchen foundation almost 200 years ago that still stands today.

The home has quite a bit of Civil War history.

White! As a direct descendant of Gen. White and his second wife, Eliza Caroline Wharton, I have a lot of information gathered/researched years ago by my mother and aunt. According to our records, Gen. White's first wife was Jane Russell of Gallatin, TN. I have old photographs of the Cooper portraits of Eliza Caroline and of her father, George Wharton of Nashville. I am curious as to the whereabouts of those two portraits.

I have done much research on John Patton Erwin and his six interesting daughters. JPE's wife, Fannie Lanier Williams, was the sister of Col. and Senator John Williams, a hero of Horseshoe Bend and a later political enemy of Jackson. Another brother was my wife's g-g-g-grand. Yet another brother, Thomas Lanier, a famous judge and politico, is buried in Nashville City Cemetery near JPE. He is the namesake of the playwright better known as Tennessee Williams.eastpineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10195674839181626483noreply@blogger.com
