This Friday, I'll show you my great-grandparents on my father's side of the family.
Thomas Andrew White and Sarah Jane Hartis
Thomas died from heart failure. Sarah Jane died from food poisoning.
I visited Rochester. Of course, the old house was gone, but I did get to see their gravesite in an old cemetery up on a hill under an very large magnolia tree.

Hello Deborah, I love your photos you share. Your family history is recorded with the most awesome photos.
Beverly and I were talking and we both said the same thing. Your photos and stories are the best.
I'll be back to sign in when my post is up.
I will go over to wish Claudie happy anniversary. She has been on a bloggy break so I haven't been there this week. I do love her blog and her too.
Love ya...Jeanne
They do look like they are from the Old West! It sounds like they are in a beautiful place of rest, under that Magnolia.
I loved the pictures AND the story! I never tire of hearing people's history and seeing those old photographs. I can just let my mind run wild with imagination at how they lived their lives! Thanks for sharing, Deborah!
Many hugs.............

I not only love all the old photos you post but that you have stories to go with them. That makes them all even more special. Take care, Sue
Ahhhhhhh I love you also Miss Bee. I'm off to bed, but had to come and see your Foto Friday. I agree with Jeanne...you always have THE BEST pictures and stories...you really do, and that's why YOU do FOTO FRIDAY'S..who else could do this?????
Thanks so much for the Anniversary Wishes...on your blog to boot!!
Randy is gone to pick Colt up, I stayed with the dogs. Randy has to pick Riley up @ 7:00 AM and get him to work...he's at an all night party!! I'm hoping to get up by 8:00 (very tough for me lol) and finally get to a couple garage sales. I haven't gone to ANY in many many years...not that I need anything.
Oh and I'm reading a great book again called, "The Book of Negros"...So much went on in your State!! WOW.
Love you sooooooooo much
Love Claudie (hope the kids don't tucker you out)
xoxoxo
I really love the old photos you put on your blog. I have a lot of that kind myself, and I know how fortunate we are to have them. Thank you so much for "Friday Favorite Family Foto."
Hi Deborah,
I can't believe these two had any pictures of them made. Amazing, so this is what my great-great-great-grandparents looked like. I guess we're cousins of some sort. My name is Ryan Jones, and I am related to these two through a son they had, Wesley Luther White. I am 24 and live in Owensboro Kentucky.
Do you know of Thomas White's parents or have birth or death records of either Thomas or Sarah? I have heard rumours through my grandmother that Thomas was part Native Amercan, but I doubt it, thinking more likely that he was mostly English or something. Thank you for any information you can give me.
Ryan
