<< Sketches of Western North Carolina, Cyrus Hunter, 1877

Genealogy of Samuel Wilson, Sen. (among other children) "Major David Wilson, an ardent patriot, and one of the heroes under Colonel Locke at Ramsour's Mill, married Sallie McConnell, a sister of Mrs. General James White, the father of the Hon. Hugh Lawson White (see sketch of his life under Iredell County)." >>

Hello List, Mr. Hunter states Sallie McConnell a sister of Mrs. James White. Other records state James White's wife as Mary Lawson. I would propose that this Miss McConnell would have been Gen. James White first wife of whom I have no record. Does any one have her listed? I show Sallie McConnell to be the daughter of John McConnell and Mary Winslow Winsley. Although I have no proof, it is believed John McConnell is the brother of Mary McConnell wife of Moses White, Jr., Moses father of Gen, James White. Any help most appreciated. Thanks, Jean Wilson
