About White/Battaile/Taliaferro Family Connections
*Much of the information I have on here comes from other sites and researchers not cited*

I am indebted to my dad, Edmund Pendleton White, for my love of history.  To quote the famous  novelist James Baldwin "People are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them."  I am  doubly cursed because my mother taught me to be an avid reader of those big, thick historical  novels that I would stay up very late reading under the covers with a flashlight.  I don't need  the flashlight anymore (just reading glasses).  One "simple" request by my father before he  died 
 was for me to try to find out if he was any relation to the famous Virginia politician Edmund  Pendleton.  I found nothing connecting my dad to Mr.Pendleton, but would give anything if Dad  could see the ancestors and connections that I did find. For me, knowing my ancestors and their  lives means a lot; knowing the time that they lived in and the people they were connected to is  a 
 prize unto itself.

Please read this before condemning me for what I'm sure are many inaccuracies.  I have searched  so 
 many sites and read so many books while researching my family that I can't begin and won't try  to 
 name them.  To those folk I say thank you so much.  As to dates, etc., when several dates are  cited by different researchers I have done my best to find the most accurate information; when  I'm 
 not certain I have used the date that is most commonly given.  Slavery was a terrible thing but  history can't be changed.  If I find named slaves in my research that however awful it was,  were 
 "owned" by an ancestor, I have included their names in the information pertaining to that  ancestor.  
 I did this for the sake of anyone researching that person and to recognize that these were  people, 
 not property and deserve to have their identities preserved.  Therefore, with my humblest  apologies;  I present to you (drumroll, please) the history of my family.
