Perhaps I missed the original message concerning the parents of Rebecca WHITE
who m. Samuel CECIL. Since I am the 5g grandaughter of this couple through 2
of their daughters both of whom married sons of Thomas J. WITTEN, Sr. and
Elizabeth CECIL, I would like to know the results of the parentage of Rebecca
WHITE. I will give you what I found at the LDS library:
Rebecca WHITE was the d/o Benjamin WHITE b. c 1697 Prince George Co., MD and
Ann HILLIARD b. 1701 also PG Co., MD. Benjamin d. before 7 Jul 1756 Anne
Arundel Co., MD. He was the s/o Guy WHITE b. 21 Nov 1676 Calvert Co., MD d.
Dec 1712 Queen Anne Parish, PG Co., MD and Elizabeth GRIFFITH b. 1675 Calvert
Co., MD d. 16 Jun 1752. Guy b. 1676 was the s/o Guy WHITE b. c 1632 Calvert
Co., MD and Sarah WRIGHT.
The siblings of Rebecca were: Lettice b. 12 Dec 1726, Margaret b. 29 Jul
1729, Rachel b. 25 Feb 1730, John b. c 1731 (died young), Mary Ann b. 27 May
1733, William b. 29 Jul 1735, John b. 17 Jan 1739, Sarah b. 5 Oct 1740,
Benjamin b. 12 Jan 1743.
I would appreciate hearing if others agree with this or am I chasing the wrong
family tree! Hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas.
