Hi! LOL @ Patrick being a "genetic marker"! I feel the same way about the name Vincent/Vinson White...it too was very uncommon. Of the ones I have found on census records, all seem to connect to NC and for all I know are all related to each other!
Have you visited the Currituck Co, NC genealogy website? Oh my, there is a treasure trove of White family info! Unfortunately, in spite of knowing who the Vinson White there belongs to, can not seem to piece together his family. 1790 is the earliest census, of course, for him but he first appeared on the tax lists in 1755 meaning he was likely about 16 or so (b. abt 1739-40). If so, this would make him a good candidate for my Vincent's father. But then again, Vinson's brother Robert could also be his father :-((
My Vincent had at least 4 sons...one of which is unknown...and as luck would have it, he may be the eldest. We have two 20 yr census gaps, which doesn't help. We have nothing but civil records (1806 SC court record, 1812 GA marriage of a daughter & 1813 GA Tax list) between 1800-1820. In 1820 he's in Hall Co, GA, 1827 he's still in Hall Co when he wins land on the 1827 GA Land Lottery, then by 1830 he's on the 1830 Bibb Co, AL census.
Then another 20 yr census gap from 1830 to 1850! The only thing we have during this period is two Houston Co, Rep of TX tax lists. Fortunately for us, even though Robert & William are very common White given names, their nephew NIMROD BRITT (hardly a common name) is also on the same tax lists. That coupled with at least 2 children b. TX bet 1838-1841 suggests that is why we find no census records until 1850 in Lafayette Co, AR.
So where in AL & AR where your Whites? Also, did you have any that went to MS? I am working with a group of White researchers who all have a Vincent/Vinson White (mine being the eldest) doing a summary on all of them to see if we can see a pattern. One Vincent b. 1800-1810 shows up in 1840 in Laurens Co, MS, has a last son named Vinson about 1842 then his wife is remarried by 1850...however, that Vincent disappears and one appears in ...AL in time to marry in 1847 and be single again in 1850. My unknown son was b. 1800-1810...see what I mean about a "web" of Vincent's! Then to add to the mix, we have a Vinson White b. 1822-1825 in AL that shows up in MS in 1850. We think the unknown son is the eldest...the next son would be Robert b. 1806, so the unknown son could have been old enough to have the one born in the 1820's, then went back to GA, then headed back to AL. Amazing what scenarios your mind can conjur up, isn't it? LOL
As an added remark...take a look at the 1827 GA Land Lottery (I have a link if you need it)...there is a Rev War soldier named Luke White JR on it
