Robert "Robin" White of South Carolina and Mississippi
I descend from Robert "Robin" White, who was born about 1755 either in South Carolina
or in England, as the old family stories said. He was in Camden District, later Kershaw Co., SC,
after the Revolution, where he married Mary Hux and was on the 1800 Census there.
He migrated in 1810 with his family to Buffalo Creek in Wilkinson Co. in southwest Mississippi.
Mary Hux White died before 1818, when he remarried the widow Lydia Cassels Bolen.
He had 12 children by his first marriage, and we descend from his son Benjamin White
who married Fredonia Smith. He had a son and a daughter by his second wife.
He had died before April 1829.
