#52Ancestors – No. 29 – John White

This post is number 29 in the series of the #52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge where a group of us blog about a different ancestor for each week of the year.  To learn more about the 52 Ancestor Challenge visit Amy Johnson’s site at Amy’s website.

I am en route to Pittsburgh to attend the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP).  I will be taking a course on Kinship Reliability.  I decided to stop by Chester, SC to view the memorials to Ann Garner White and her husband John White. I wrote about Ann Garner in post No. 19.

I started late and traffic was heavy Saturday morning.  I missed the chance to visit the library to do some research.  I did visit Old Purity Cemetery and took a few photos and included two of them in this post. One is a plaque marking the site of a house of worship for Purity Church founded in 1770.  The other is for John White, my seventh great grandfather killed a few years after he arrived.
