Copyright, 1888, BY William Francis Cbeoab. Press of PATTBUBON & White. PREFACE. The preparation of this history of the White Ancestry was commenced nearly seven years ago, but the research greatly exceeded the original plans of both the family and myself, as it was only intended to prepare a MS. account of the White, Stockton, Gardiner, and Elton families. The result, however, was considered sufficiently satisfactory to warrant farther in vestigation, and Iwas permitted to enlarge the scope of the work. With this object in view Ivisited various localities in the States of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia, concluding with a voyage to England inthe spring of 1883, and another in December of 1884; the result of the researches made during those trips being embodied in some seventeen pedigrees, which the White family have finally de cided to publish, in order that the information, gained at so much trouble and expense, may be preserved in a form accessi ble to all the descendants of those families, to whom 1now have the honor of submitting the pedigrees, feeling confident that, while itis almost impossible to avoid some defects in a work of this character, no one can take exception to the facts, as each generation of the several pedigrees is established by what Iconscientiously believe to be ample and authentic evidence, iii IV Preface.
