During his life time, David researched the history of several Decatur and Henderson County families. His research provides important basic research on the history of families that now live or have lived in these two counties. Like all research, it is not perfect and is known to contain both errors and omissions. By policy, David's original research will not be updated to correct these errors but will be maintained in the state left by David. However, we are happy to publish the family research of any families connected with Decatur or Henderson County. We will also publish comments as notes to David's research. Please email me your comments and/or family research that you would like posted to this web site to Jerry L. Butler at jlb30504@gmail.com.

Henry[1] White, son of Joseph White and Sarah Headley. Born, circa 1765, in Anson Co., NC. Died, after 1830, in Perry Co., TN. Census: 1830, in Perry Co., TN. Henry White probably had a large number of children. There are many white households on the page with Henry's in the 1830 census of Perry County. The Whites in the fourth district of Decatur County in 1850 may all be his descendants.
He married Hannah Rushing, daughter of Phillip Rushing and Hannah. Born, after 1770. Census: 1830, in Perry Co., TN. It is known that Hannah, the wife of Henry White, was a Rushing. She is assigned here as a daughter of Phillip primarily because Calvin Lacy, Phillip's guardian in 1838, is associated in 1830 census records with the White family. Also, Phillip Rushing's land holdings in Anson County were adjacent to those of Joseph White. Children:
1. Daniel[2] White.
2. Robert White.
3. Reuben R. White.

Rebecca[2] White (Henry, 1). Born, 27 Oct 1800, in NC. Died, 16 Mar 1864. Burial in Brigance Cem., Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1830, in Perry Co., TN. This is an hypothesis without proof. Rebecca, wife of Abraham Harrell, probably was the daughter of Henry White. In the 1830 census of Perry County, Tennessee. Abraham Harrell appears two households away from Henry White and adjacent to Reuben White. This would also be consistent with the close associations of Harrells and Whites with Rushings in the 1790 census of Anson County, North Carolina; the use of the name Reuben in descendant lines; and the choice of George W. Harrell as court-appointed guardian of the children of Albert White and Martha Rushing.
She married Abraham Harrell, circa 1817. Born, 24 Jul 1793, in NC. Died, 27 Jul 1877. Burial in Brigance Cem., Decatur Co., TN. Occupation: Farmer. Abraham Harrell may be the son of Mills Harrell whose undated will in Anson County, NC, lists sons Abraham, Isham, David, and Isaac; heirs of Josiah Harrell; and daughters Nancy, Horn, Rody, and Clara. In 1870 Abraham harrell is living in the household of John H. Briggance. Children:

Isaac L.[2] White (Henry, 1). Born, circa 1801, in VA. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1860, in Decatur Co., TN. Occupation: Farmer. J. D. White, Sr., in his "A Line of Whites," does not include Isaac among the children of Henry White and Hannah Rushing. This connection is arbitrary but is supported somewhat in that Isaac's descendants use Concord Cemetery as do the other descendants of Henry White. In his "History of Scotts Hill, Tennessee" Gordon Turner states the burial place of William D. Johnston to be the White Cemetery in Dunbar. This cemetery is called the Johnston Cemetery in the UDC's cemetery book. This may be the burial place of Isaac White and his family.
He married Nancy. Born, circa 1813, in NC. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1860, in Decatur Co., TN. Children:
1. Sarah Francese[3] White.

She married John Wesley Fisher, son of Sylvaneous Fisher and Nancy Yarbrough (Yarbro), 6 Apr 1837. Born, 6 Dec 1816, in Buncombe Co., NC. Died, 16 Feb 1906, in Decatur Co., TN. Burial in Mt. Lebanon Cem., Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1870, in Decatur Co., TN. Occupation: Minister. The following is said to have been written by the Rev. John W. Fisher. The original document was owned circa 1972 by Latham Blount, Decaturville, Tennessee: "I was born December 6, 1866 on the road in Buncombe Co., NC while my parents were on the way to Bedford Co., Tennessee. Am now in my 89th year. We lived in Bedford Co., three years and went to Lost Creek in what was then Perry Co., Tennessee but is now Decatur County. We went from there to Phillips Co., Arkansas, in about 1821 and stayed there one year. Then came back to Lost Creek and have lived in this neighborhood ever since. I professed religion in 1823 and joined the Methodist church. I was licensed to exhort in 1840 and licensed to preach in 1845 at OId Center Camp Ground. My first sermon was preached from the text "I Am Now Ready to be Offered," (2 Tim: 4-6). I was ordained Deacon by Bishop Capers at Trenton, Tennessee in 1850, and was ordained Elder by Bishop payne at Paducah, Kentucky, in 1867. "I was married April 6, 1837 to Nancy G. White and we lived together until she departed this life May 23, 1904. To us were born eleven children, seven who preceded her to the good world. I am now very delicate and don't expect it to be long before I will go to meet the loved ones who have gone before me. I've had a great many to tell me that I was the instrument to God's hand opf their conversion and many of then have already gone home and will be there to meet me when I go. My address is Decaturville, Tennessee, R.F.D." [The Fisher Scrap Book 1730-1972] Children:
1. Milton Brown[4] Fisher. Born, circa 1846. Died, 17 Jan 1938, in Dennison, Grayson Co., TX. Burial in Grand Saline, Van Zant Co., TX. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. Resided: 1933, in TX. He married Tennessee Yarbro, 13 Aug 1869, in Decatur Co., TN. Milton B. Fisher died from a stroke.

Albert[3] White (Reuben R., 4). Born, 18 Oct 1814, in NC. Died, 15 Mar 1885. Burial in Ebenezer Cem., Henderson Co., TN. Census: 1850, in Decatur Co., TN. Census: 1880, in Henderson Co., TN. Occupation: Farmer. One source lists Albert White as a son of Henry White and Hannah Rushing. Based on age and location, he seems more likely to have been a son of Reuben White. In the 1850 census Albert White is living in Decaturville (household #57) near William H. Morgan (#58), Nicholas D. White (#59), and Ruben White (#61). In the 1860 census Albert is still in Decatur County but in 1870 and 1880 he appears in the Scotts Hill area of Henderson County. The family of Albert White is interpreted in this database by assigning Martha A. White in the 1850 census as Albert White's second wife and all the younger Whites in the 1850 census as children of the first marriage. Children listed in the 1870 and 1880 censes are assigned to the second marriage. This grouping is proven in the records of settling the estate of Enoch Deason Rushing in Sumter Co., AL, in the 1850s.
He married, first, Martha Rushing, daughter of David Rushing and Nancy Deason, circa 1834. Died, before 1850. The children of Martha Rushing are recorded in the probate records of the estate of Enoch Deason Rushing in Sumter Co., Alabama. Thr probate record generally lists the children in the order in which they later appear in the 1850 census. The probate records lists daughters Frances White and Matilda White not listed in the 1850 census. One of these probably is the Melvina listed in the census (Frances based on order). The Sumter Co. probate records note that George W. Harrell had been appointed by the Decatur Co. Court as guardian of Martha's children. Children:
1. Richmond/Richard A.[4] White.
2. William Egbert (Egg) White.
3. Emily/Emeline J. White.

White appears to have been a second wife of Albert White. She may have died shortly after the 1870 census. She might be a Morgan. In 1850 Albert White is living adjacent to William H. Morgan, and there is a John G. Morgan living in Albert White's household. Children:
1. Gabriel White.

"Emily was not a member of the church, but an earnest seeker at the altar in August before she died in October; so, we trust, she now rest in peace with an older sister, Catherine, a consistent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, at Liberty, who accidentally shot herself the 4th of August, 1874. Also Mahaly, who died August 24, 1871, the youngest daughter of Bro. Rushing, and the pet of the family. The writer had the pleasure of instructing them all in Sabbath-school; but little Emily, who outlived the others, was a very attentive student in the Sabbath-school room, and endeared herself to the hearts of her associates. They have left a large family of brothers and sisters who are very near all members of our Church, and a large circle of friends who sorely mourn their loss. "Bro. Rushing is an elder of the Liberty congregation, and has battled long and hard for the cause of our blessed Master. Hold up your head, Bro. and sister Rushing, you will soon cross the river, where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest...." James M. Holley. Decaturville, January, 1876.

He had married Sarah Frances White and his body was brought back to White Cemetery near Dunbar for burial. An impressive monument marks the grave. A son, Dr. C. H. Johnston (known as "kit" to many) practiced in his home area for a short time; then in the Shady Hill Community during which he made some calls in and around Scotts Hill. He then moved his practice to Lexington until his death. Known as a very good doctor, Dr. "Kit" never married but among his brothers were: Gus J., Epp and W. D. ("Billy") Jr. Some of us remember Dr. Kit's love for his widowed mother and his passing through Scotts Hill on horseback nearly every weekend to visit her in the old home not far from Dunbar. Children:
