    Notes:

    Born on homeplace near Hickory Nut Mountain. Buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.

    Carmia was her name given at birth. After her parents death, all her sisters
    were separated into various homes. She stayed with an aunt, Cora Nevada
    (Moffitt) Vess (Mrs. Canney Vess) on Crooked Creek. Later she moved and lived
    with a woman who called her Connie Eldora. By the time she married Henry
    Thomas White, she had changed her name again to Connie Etta, as her children
    knew her.

    Connie Etta met her husband while she was a waitress working in Old Fort,
    McDowell, North Carolina, in a boarding house where Henry Thomas White was
    living. Before they were married, they had purchased a house and then were
    married. Four years later their home is where Ralph C. White was born. All
    children were born in this house. The house still stands and has been kept in
    excellent condition by the present owner.

    According to her sister, Carrie Lee, Carmia was headstong and beligerent and
    that at one time Bailey Nesbitts took her for some time in her home, but
    couldn't make her happy.

    Carmia is buried in the same plot with her husband and his second wife in Oak
    Hill Cemetery. Their child separates Carmia from her husband.

    Notes:

    Born near Hickory Nut Mountain.

    When we were in North Carolina in 1968, in April, Aunt Carrie Lee was living in
    a new home, and was an interesting person - very guarded with her history of
    her people. What has been given had to be a fight ... and so I was corrected
    on many of my notes and dates, but she did give me some new facts which I
    carefully wrote down in my notebook. We were in her kitchen sitting on the
    long "Beacon type" bench with my husband and teenage son, Bob, across from us.
    Aunt Carrie Lee and Cuyva stood ready to aid us. I was a little astonished at
    all this kindness, and perhaps, a little uneasy at my manerisms - I didn't want
    to eat. I'd rather sit and "soak up" the tranquility of the home, the land and
    and the easy hospitality granted to their own, Ralph White, and their alien
    kinship (even of a Yankee descendent). The table was set with home grown and
    home made foods. I relished it very much, it is much the same as we eat at
    home when dad does the cooking. I cannot reproduce the same effect as our
    hillbilly daddy can.

    God Bless them as He has in the past.

    Aunt Florence lives at Route 1, Box 12, Camp Branch Road, Black Mountain, North

    address and she responded quickly, hence, her family history complete - as she
    sent it - on the first letter, but it would have been different, had we
    contacted her first, as it might have taken more assurance - I'm sure.
