Well all I can say is WOW!! Honestly if your from Prospect you have White blood running through you in some way. The original Samuel and Johanna White had a total of 99 grandchildren. This family recycled names over and over, so if your doing research remember to keep dates next to names because you will get mixed up trust me!! I am connected to the Whites with a direct line and through many other shoot off lines, so I have lots of that White blood!!

If you have any questions please direct them to Patricia Lewis
