July 3, 1998, I visited my 1st cousins, James Braxton and Una (Yandle) CONE who lived near Coolidge, Ga.. The James White's were also Braxton's great grandparents. Having lived about a quarter mile from them, he remembered his great grandfather vividly. He was a curious child over seven years old when James died, and loved hearing all the stories the grown-ups told.
This is one of the stories he remembered and related to me:
"Old man Jim White moved from North Carolina to Thomas County, Georgia, bought land about three miles from Coolidge and built a log cabin, (which still stands today), A short time later his mother died and he buried her on his property, a beautiful site near the Ochlocknee River. She was the first to be buried in the White/Cone cemetery. He marked her grave with four posts holding lattice work aroud the area, the posts are still standing but the lattice work is not. He also put a marker at the gravesite.. I'm not sure if it was a wooden marker or stone, but when the river flooded the area years later the marker was washed away and was never found. The posts held fast.
"James and Elizabeth (Lanier) White were married before 1840, when their 1st child was born. Once an Indian poked a forked stick thru a crack in the cabin and caught great grandmothers hair, began twisting it and tried to pull her up to the crack. After this he went went to Florida to fight the Indians in the Second Seminole War."
I have researched the "Florida Malitia Muster Rolls, Seminole Indian Wars" and found the following::
