Robert Cecil McDaniel wrote that although Albert White "had little formal education, as was common with men of his generation, he was extremely shrewd, a good conversationalist, witty, and very much at home in all types of society. He farmed some, but for hte most part, he raised and traded in livestock. I doubt if there was a man in Sabine County who loved outdoors activities more than Albert."

Could Cade be a nickname for Cajabeth? Jack White emailed, in August, 2013, that he is descended from Cajabeth White, who was living in Bute Co, NC with his brother, William, as early as 1766. He had two sons, John and Robert. John White inherited land from a man named John Seagrove, whose will names John White as his nephew. It seems likely that Cajabeth's wife, Frances, was a Seagrove, but this is not proven.
The 1771 tax list for Bute Co shows that Young McLemore, who is part of your family tree, had an overseer named John Seagrove, who appears on a number of documents with members of the McLemore family before they migrated out of Bute (later Warren) Co. I have been trying for a couple of years to piece together precisely how the Seagrove, McLemore and White families may have interacted with one another, but the Seagrove family history is as complicated as that of the Whites.
The thing that interests me about your website is that Cajabeth White was frequently referred to in court documents as Cade, and I see in your website that two sons of Edward White (b. 1781 in Mecklenburg Co, VA) each had sons they named Cade.
Cade married Mary Susan Click on 9 Nov 1875. Mary (daughter of William M. Click and Elizabeth Merchant) was born on 14 Dec 1856 in Arkansas; died on 23 Jan 1909 in Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
