Charles White
Vital • Tennessee Marriages, 1796-1950
Name Charles White

Spouse's Name Nancy McPherson
Spouse's Sex Female
Event Type Marriage
Event Date 26 Apr 1811
Event Place Roane, Tennessee, United States
Source Details 2:2BMFSTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
She is attached to Charles White
Both profiles are MP'd
The curated Charles is showing not curated profiles with no sources and bad dates: John White and Lucy Waggener
John Wesley White
Lucy White
who are apparently duplicates of John Wesley White and Lucy White who are presently attached as parents of John "Jack" White and Charles Andrew Carrick White who is showing as husband of Matilda
Matilda Pennington a curated profile whose FaG memorial says she first married "Charles White" but no memorial for him....
The FS profile shows Charles as married to Nancy ---
So are these two Charles the same man or no?

Private User - I just got a consistency notification. Of concern were siblings born too close together. Problem is that both dates were marked as "Before" and based on Baptism dates. There is no exception or feed back on the consistency check for "Before" and "After".

Charles Randall Hensley - if you able, mark unresolveable inconsistencies as “ignore for all.”

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 - re: Charles White & Charles Andrew Carrick White

The profiles are too skimpy. I’d rather tolerate duplicate looking families then have to undo.

So, more research needed.

Erica Howton that I can do. Going through the list of Consistency Notifications on my tree, still about a hundred left.

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 - the locations for Matilda Pennington & Charles Andrew Carrick White do not match.

The locations of Eber E. White “born out of wedlock and given up” match Matilda and not Charles.

This merge was actually incorrect. The one on the left is a New England tree and the one on the right is a UK tree. The one on the right was named Mary Hardy, which was correct, but then someone changed her name and merged them. https://www.geni.com/revisions/profile/6000000000049932503?rev_id=7...

After that merge, there were some disconnections and another merge. https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=71600741540

Sources on Ancestry were slim and nothing that really proved anything. There is a bio from Find a Grave in here profile and the does seem to match the children with the one husband.

Erica Howton Matilda and Benagah married 26 July 1814.

I don't see a marriage or "divorce" on either Charles or Matilda's pages-- am I just overlooking?

https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=68718997290

Please undo this merge. Their father had two sons name Johannes, according to The Hayner Family Association book. There's already a bio in the profile for the one Johannes, and here's the bio for the other:

7.JOHANNES HEINER, (2nd of same name in this family) bc 1724, married as a single man from Livingston Manor on 20 Apr 1746 Eva Van Etten, b in Dutchess Co., NY, bp 12 Nov 1727 (First Dutch Church, Kingston, NY), possibly d/o Jacob Petresen Van Etten and Margrietje Symons Kool (not proved)(Eva’s mother, bp 15 Oct 1699 Kingston, given by Charles Lewis, Phoenix, AZ, who also gives her father as Jacob Adriaensen Van Etten, bp 17 Jul 1698 at Kingston, m there on 11 May 1722). On 12 Apr 1748 Johannes Hoener was confirmed by the Rev. Johann Christophorus Hartwig at St. Peters Luth Church, Rhinebeck (page 307 of chbk) as Johannes Hoener (age 24), at same time his brothers Samuel (age 21), Philip (age 18), and Jacob (age 15) were confirmed. Johannes had been baptized by the New York minister Johan Van Driesen, sponsored at baptism by Joh. Blass and his wife (Rhinebeck Luth Chbk), sponsored at confirmation by David Reichard. These records of confirmation and baptism prove that he was the son of Johannes Haner (the immigrant) who, like his father Curt Haner in Germany, had two surviving sons named Johannes. This couple is named Johannes Hener Jr. and Eva Vanetta Hener as parents at the baptisms of Catharina (#53) and Samuel (#55) (Red Hook Luth). At Livingston Manor, Johannes and two other men leased a farm of 65 acres that was added to another 62 acres. Johannes Heiner paid rent on this from 1756 to 1776 and not thereafter. This seems to indicate that Johannes and Eva (Van Etten) Heiner/Hayner went to Brunswick, NY by or before 1776. He is shown on a 1767 map of Rensselaerwyck. A Johannes Heiner (possibly his son age 21) was on the 1767 Colonial Militia Muster Roll listed as being “above the town of Poestenkill” [i.e., at Brunswick]. He seems to have maintained his interest in the land at Livingston Manor until 1776. In addition to the 8 children listed here, there may have been a David, who was baptized at Christ Lutheran Church at Germantown.

The land at Haynerville, near Brunswick, is the only one, or one of a very few, properties in Rensselaerwyck that have remained in possession by direct line of descent in the same family that received an original grant from Van Rensselaer. It is currently in possession of Nancy Kurrelmeyer, a g-g-g-g-g-g-grandchild of Johannes Hainer and Eva Van Etten .

+ 52. Johannes, bp 12 Oct 1746

+ 53. Catharina, bp 13 Jan 1748 (RH Luth)

+ 54. Martinus, b 12 Oct 1750 (birth date not documented).

+ 55. Samuel, bp 29 Aug 1756 (RH Luth)

56. Joseph, bp 4 May 1759 (RH Luth); sp Joseph Reichard and Anna Nier (RH Luth). He was a Loyalist, not in Butler’s Rangers; had children who were in Niagara. An account book kept by Zachariah has Joseph b 26 Apr 1759, and it contains a bond dated 8 Nov 1805 in which Zachariah promises to take care of Joseph, maintain his house, etc. during his natural life.

+ 57. Zachariah, b 22 Jul 1761 (bp Rhinebeck Ref)

58. Margaretha, bp 1 May 1764; sp Stephanus Borgard and wife Rebecca (Rhinebeck Luth). This is probably Margaret Haner, daughter of Johannes, who m Conrad Pames (s/o Conrad) on 4 Sep 1791 at Rhinebeck Lutheran Church.

+ 59. Philip, b 29 Jun 1770

The father can be MPd, he has a good bio. I still have 5 more children to update bios for, but they could be relationship locked, if you want. The only child not listed on the link above is Barbara, though, I did find her in a Roots Web page - she's the only one that's a little iffy.

Erica Howton thanks so much for looking and the notes.
I think the info on the collab note for Charles White likely fater of Eber lists HIS parents? Am I reading that correctly?
Looking for the original.
I did find and tag the frame for the marriage of Matilda and Benagah.
Will look for (mentioned above:) !Court records, Roane County, Tennessee, paternity suit. !I.G.I. Edition 1993, Version 3.02, Batch #: 8720466-63, Source #: 1396389. Charles Andrew Carrick White; Father: Hugh Lawson White; Mother: Elizabeth Carrick, b: 22 Dec 1797, Knoxville, Knox, TN. B: 22 Dec 1934; EL 18 Sep 1935, Arizo; SP: 10 FEb 1988, Lange. Is this the father of Eber? Second entry, no parents listed, Film #: 170628, p 91, Ord. #: 3332. Third entry, Birth place, of Rowan Co., N.C. Film #: 452877, Ord. #: 12682.

Apparently two very different men.

Erica Howton while working on the above families (Charles White and Matilda---)
I came across this---
Mary White you are the curator for her profile and she is seen with three husbands but only one at FaG and Wikitree--- I cannot see a recent merge to undo but there's quite an inconsistency report:
Consistency Check:Death date of Catherine Ewing (Lawson) is after her burial date.Hanna Lawson contains an incomplete death date, missing year.Death date of Margaret Mary Lawson (Moore) is after her burial date.Brig. General James White is under 12 years old for the birth of his child Margaret Ann Byrd (Hutson).Mary Margaret White (Lawson) is over 55 years old for the birth of her child Burrell Hudson, Sr.Mary Margaret White (Lawson) is over 55 years old for the birth of her child Allen Asbury Hudson.Mary Margaret White (Lawson) is over 55 years old for the birth of her child Thomas Hudson.More than 22 year age difference between Mary Margaret White (Lawson) and her husband Hugh Barry.

This is the Master Profile for Mary Margaret White (Lawson).

22 children attached to her Geni profile.
She appears to be Geni married to her father:
Hugh Barry
Col. Hugh Lawson, Sr.
Also married to Brig. General James White (correctly)
and Corporal James Hudson

Private User - I resolved Mary ‘Polly’ Darling & her husband John Darling, V last night.

The family confusion with the England family seems to be here.

John Weeden Darling

Private User - https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=68718997290 has been reversed. The two Johannes have been mastered to prevent re-merging.
I think the parents of each one may need to be merged.

The profile at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lawson-225 Is flawed and brought in errors for Mary White in addition to previous bad merges.

Johannes Haner

Please MP/

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087



Eber E. White Cannot have been the son of Charles Andrew Carrick White who was born 1797 (sic: 1799) Eber White was born 1811, 12 or 14 years later.

Charles Andrew Carrick White married October 25, 1821 to Nancy Aiken Park 1804-1827

Eber could have been the son of the other Charles White in Roane County.


Probably NOT the same as Charles White FS is unreliable for him but does have a research note from a collaborator here:

Thank you

This was presented as a merge and I think it goes down into the tree.

https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000137362850832?return=bulk_...

Mary Mathis has the match and also has too many children - 4 named Elizabeth (one of whom has a different husband from the other noted.) I didn't want to merge any until the main merge above was determined if it was correct.

Solomon Jarvis had a son Rev. Solomon Jarvis The son was disconnected, but then someone added a new son. The son is listed in the father's bio, along with his wives, so I don't know why he was moved to other parents.

James Jarvis, I, of MD was also removed from his parents. His timeline is also in error; marriage before birth, twins when he was 3 years old (born in two different countries), and a child after he died. One wife was born 38 years after him, the other wife was born 20 years before him. .

Peter Seal
has a Rachel Lamb as mother and wife

THREE different men and ONLY ONE MP'd so he gets SMASHED

John Mathis, Sr.

The following are locked to incorrect parents. They were born in southern states The parents they;re with were Irish immigrants to Pennsylvania.

Philemon Crain, Sr.

Lewis Crain

Spencer Ford Crain, Sr.

Martha Wheat

Ambrose Crain

According to NAFH, the parents only had 4 children. One of them is an Ambrose, so either the Ambrose listed above has a wrong birth location, or he's with the wrong parents. https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/7870874?mark=7b22746f6b656e223a226...

I think this link might be the Ambrose in question. https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~genealogyquest/genealogy/crain.htm

I suspect the mother's birth surname might not be Milton and that's what's causing the confusion, but I'm not sure either way.

Here's a FTDNA chart for the Crain/Crane family, but I don't know enough about DNA for it ti be of use to me. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/CRAIN_DNA/default.aspx?section...

Wow, Private User I like that ydna chart. Very interesting.

Private User - the changes to the Solomon Jarvis family look correct to me. I added DAR links.

James Jarvis, I, of MD is not known to the DAR as a son of John Jarvis, I

https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_adb/?action=ful...

For the other issues at James, see if there’s bad merges to undo. The profile does have a biography from Wikitree in it to follow.

Private User - re: family of William Crain, Sr. & Jean Kee Crain

Detached the children as per https://www.geni.com/discussions/185827?msg=1666091 & hooked them onto N.N. Crain

If there are more children to detach, you can either move to NN also or just detach them. Nothing is locked.

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 - re smerged John Mathis, Sr. - continued at discussion https://www.geni.com/discussions/268629?msg=1647743

Separated the John Matthews but no clue whose has the correct parents.

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 - Rachael Seal b 1807 cannot have been the mother of Peter Seal b. 1775.
