WHITE, ROBINSON

My g-g-father James Henry WHITE (b1869 Warren Co TN) married Flaura ROBINSON or ROBERTSON sometime before 1893.  I have been searching for any information about Flaura for years.  I recently found that Jms H WHITE graduated from Burrill College in 1896 so believe he may have met Flaura there. Flaura died in Wilson Co TN in 8 or 9/1896 soon after giving birth to my g-mother.  Her children's names were Valeria and Flaura - neither of which came from the WHITE family. The only thing my g-mother knew about her mother was that she was supposed to have a twin named Laura.  The WHITE family are members of the Church of Christ so he also could have met Flaura at Spencer Church of Christ. Any help with finding Flaura's family will be appreciated.
