What a great family history!

I guess Isaac took the land grants! I don’t know how much land he got. But there are grave markers of this White family on some rural land that my son visited, as he passed through the area on the way to Texas (home).

I think that very part of Tennessee where he owned land, once belonged to NC and then they moved some state boundary’s.

I really admire the ancestors who lived through that time!

All of Tennessee was once part of North Carolina until the NC government tired of trying to govern the ungovernable Backcountry types and cut it loose. To get a flavor of the NC-eventuallyTennessee state of affairs, see The Late, Great State of Franklin, http://www.backcountrynotes.com/history/2010/2/6/the-late-great-state-of-franklin.html
