Hi,

I saw your web page and was interested in the genealogy of Gen. James White. Do you happen to know anything about his sister Sarah White? I was wondering if she was the same Sarah White who married Joseph Wilson and lived in Sumner County, TN. Sarah would be my 6th great grandmother through her daughter Sarah Almira Wilson. I had read in a history of Sumner County about the attack on Zigler Fort and it said that Sarah White Wilson's brother was General White of East Tennessee.

Thank you for your help and your great web page.

Take care

Notes for James WHITE Gen:

James White was a soldier, public offical, Founder of Knoxville, born in Rowan Co., NC now part of Iredell Co. NC. His parents were Moses and Mary White. During the American Revolution, James White was a Captain of the N.C. Militia, he was entitled for his military services to a grant of land. In that year he with Robert Love, Francis A. Ramsey, Alexander McMillan and others made a tour of exploration to select desirable tracts of land in East Tennessee. They traveled as far down the Holston (Now the Tennessee) river as the present Lenoir City. The next year Capt. White moved from N.C. to Fort Chiswell, Va, whre he remained about one year. In 1785, he helped organize the State of Franklin, & was member of the General Assembly and its Constitutional Convention that met at Greenville. That same year he removed with his family to what is now Knox County and settled on the North side of the French Broad, near the present Riverdale, the same place that Alexander Campbell, who established Campbell's Station later, had lived on in 1790. The next year, 1786, Capt. White and some other families settled on White's Creek, built a cabin and cleared lands. 1789 he was representative from Hawkins Co. in the Legislature of N.C. and a member of the convention that ratified the Constitution of the U.S. In 1790 he was appointed by Wm.

James White, on November 27, 1795 made a deed to certain lands, Knox County, to Charles McClung. This deed was witnessed by Robert Morrow and James Spivey The last witness was of a North Carolina Family.

In 1796 "cousins" Charles McClung & "cousin" William Blount were named to draw up a constitution. This year Charles McClung was a presidentila elector; also in 1800. He was primarily responsible for how the town of Knoxville was laid off and some of its streets called after streets in Philadelphia. Gay Street was named for Gay Street in Philadelphia, at his suggestion. He was clerk of the first Knox county Court in 1792. He built a fine home on his farm near Ebnezar in the Kingston Pike Section, and once owned a interest in the firm of McClung & Campbell at Campbell's Station. He and his wife Margaret White had nine children, two of whom died young. He died in Kentucky where he had gone for the benefit of his health. He was buried there, but later his remains were returned to Knoxville and intered in the Gray Cemetery. (Tennessee Cousins, by Ray pg. 247)

Hugh Lawson died on Apr 10, 1840. Elizabeth Moore CARRICK was the daughter of Presbyterian minister Rev. Samuel Czar CARRICK:

Following from http://www.fpcknox.org/history.htm
Knoxville's First Presbyterian Church, the city's first church, was organized in 1792 and is still located on its original site.

James White, Knoxville's founder and a devout Presbyterian, came from North Carolina to the Fork of the River, where the Holston and French Broad Rivers meet to form the Tennessee River. He later moved downriver and settled near First Creek. He built a fort and a mill and planted his garden -- for turnips in the fall and corn in the spring. When he asked his son-in-law, Charles McClung, to lay out a town, part of White's instructions were "to reserve my turnip patch for a church and a burying ground."

Until recently, those words by White were the only deed to the original land used by the church. Additional properties were registered as they were acquired, but not until the legal incorporation of our church (as required by the 1983 reunion of the country's two largest Presbyterian groups) was that original portion listed with the Knox County Register of Deeds.

The first pastor of Knoxville's first church was the Rev. Samuel Czar Carrick, who had come from Virginia. Arriving at Fork of the River, he helped organize Lebanon-in-the-Fork Presbyterian Church. After Knoxville was founded, Rev. Carrick came downriver and, in 1792, started the pioneer town's first church. Carrick later served as president of Blount College, which is now the University of Tennessee. The will of Rev. Samuel Carrick

Kitty MORGAN was also a sister to C.S.A. General JOHN HUNT MORGAN

Morgan's guerrilla tactics earned him the nickname "Francis Marion of the War" and inspired the Confederacy's Partisan Ranger Act of April 21, 1862 which authorized President Davis to commission units of Partisan Rangers for detached guerrilla operations. Morgan was infamous for his raids from Tennessee into Kentucky by which he would not only disrupt enemy communications by tapping into Union telegraph lines, but also round up fresh troops and supplies for the Confederate Army.

Tennessee Cousins by Ray John McGhee, the oldest son of Barclay McGhee, married Betsy Jones McClung. Her mother was a daughter of Gen. James White, the founder of Knoxville and she was born practically in Mecklenburg co, NC. the account says her mother was born in Iredell Co., but the facts show the family lived directly on the line between Iredell and Mecklenburg Co. and about 15 miles from the old Sugar Creek Chruch. This we find the Oldest son of Barclay McGhee marrying into a Mecklenburg Co. Family. That is more proof that the McGhee family probably originated in Mecklenburg Co., NC.

Lawrence Tyson, Tennessee's only World War I general, was born on a plantation near Greenville, North Carolina, on July 4, 1861. Tyson won a competition for appointment to West Point and graduated from the military academy in 1883. Lieutenant Tyson served several years in Wyoming, Arizona, and Kansas and engaged in the Apache wars against Geronimo and his followers.

Lawrence Tyson who married Bettie McGhee of Knoxville, the daughter of railroad president Charles McClung McGhee. In 1891 McGhee secured an appointment for Tyson as professor of military science and tactics at the University of Tennessee in order to bring his daughter home. While on the faculty, Tyson took a degree in law and resigned his position in 1895 in order to practice law in Knoxville.
The McGhee family was civic-minded, prolifically generous, and insistent about permanently memorializing its children whose lives ended too early. Col. Charles McGhee’s son was Lawson McGhee’s. His sister, Bettie Hume married army officer Lawrence Tyson. Many years after Col. McGhee established Lawson McGhee Library, she established Tyson Park, and in the deal assured that Knoxville’s airport should be named forever for her son, McGhee Tyson. He wasn’t much older than first cousin Lawson McGhee when he was killed in a plane crash in the North Sea in World War I. An advertisement from the grand opening in 1934 of McGhee Tyson Minicipal Airport above was among my grandfather’s items. His nephew Herbert Toomey, a barnstormer, performed at the opening.
