Notes:

All the information from John Tate down was presented to me by Sandy McFarland Morgan, a descendant of Martha Jane White

This information was gathered by Alna Cleone White Hodges in her research for DAR; she has indexed the references for all the information.

Here is a letter John Tate wrote to his wife typed just as it is recorded in Cleone’s little book:
