White family of Whitehall Broughshane
« on: Tuesday 06 May 08 21:43 BST (UK) »
John White had 4 sons, 3 daughters, youngest son James Robert White was father of General George Stuart White, I am looking for the other sons, hopefully a William White born 1805 there in Broughshane.Rebecca White( one of the daughters)  b 1806 m John Stockman in Ireland.. emigrated to US in 1831. The Whites were members of the Presbyterian Church,I assume of Broughshane. Can anyone tell me the other children? Or lead me to a source to find out about the White family of this area? Thanks.. Barbara in Tennessee.

Unfortunately both Broughshane 1st and 2nd Presbyterian Church records don't go back far enough for the information you are looking for.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

If you do the search suggested in my earlier post, though, you will find some posts with a bit more info and links about the White's of Broughshane, so at least you should be able to gleen some interesting info.

There's a White family plot on the grounds of the First Presbyterian Church
in the centre of Broughshane.

First Broughshane Presbyterian Church, 1655-1936 was published in Belfast
in 1936 by the Newton Publishing Company.

Knowhead, Broughshane 1842

If the book was published in 1936 it's probably long out of print,

That's a good observation however there's no need for Barbara to worry about searching for an antiquarian book shop that might have a copy. The Central Library, Belfast Ulster & Irish Studies section, in Royal Avenue, Belfast has a copy. It's not for loan ... it's a   Reference non-borrowable copy. 

Send a the query to the Central Library and ask if they could assist by checking the book to see if it has anything about the White family.
