I am looking for information on the Alex WHITE family that lived in Coryell County after 1860 to 1900. The following information is all I have.
Alex WHITE, born ca.1812 in IL (parents unknown), died 1875, buried Coffey Cemetary,Coryell county; married Nancy Caroline CHAMBLISS/CHAMBERS (date unknown, sometime before 1859, place unknown).

Nancy Caroline CHAMBERS born March 17, 1833 in Ga.(death certificate says parents Warren Chambers and Meis Armstrong), died Oct. 16, 1921 in Scurry County. She was married prior to Alex WHITE to ? REAVES in GA. After Alex died in 1875, rumor says she married ? ARD. On June 18, 1881, she married W. C. Purcell in Coryell country. After he died in 1895, she moved to Hamilton county. Before she died in 1921, she married ? BRAY. My father knew her as Granny BRAY. She had the following children:

I would like to fill in the blanks and get in contact with the WHITE "cousins" We are planning a WHITE family reunion in June of 2000 in Hamilton, TX. and would like to find as many of the WHITE decendents as we could. I have some documents and photos I would like to share with the "cousins" if they would like to share with me. You may get in contact with me at Cyn-Sam@world.att.net or write to me at Cynthia White Whitson, 3505 Syracuse, Garland, TX 75043. I'm looking forward to hearing from you all!
