Life

Brinson Ross White, who appears in most records as B. R. or B. Ross White, was born in Georgia on 5 October 1830, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date and records no parents.1 On 14 July 1851 he married Lucy Ann Carlisle, a daughter of Robert Whatley Carlisle and Clarissa Ann Mitchell Owens, in Coosa County, Alabama.2 The tree names ten children, born between 1852 and 1876, among them Robert Gabriel, Benjamin Ross, Lucy Ida, Virginia Bethina and Edmund Lawson White.3 The federal census of 1860 lists him, indexed as "Brinson B Whitte," in the 2nd Subdivision of Coosa County.4 The tree records that he served in Company D of the 17th Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army, in 1862, the company in which his brother-in-law John S. Monk also served.5 Records attached to his profile from Ancestry, cited without further detail, include entries in collections of Alabama Confederate pension and service records and of Confederate pensions.6 Inference Those entries suggest that he applied to the State of Alabama for a Confederate pension in his old age; the file should confirm his company and the dates of his service.6 The censuses of 1870 and 1880 list B. R. White in Coosa County, the second at Nixburg.7 Lucy died in 1890, and on 24 December 1894 B. R. White married Sarah Posey at Nixburg.8 He died at Rockford, Coosa County, in December 1915: the tree gives 10 December, but the Alabama death index has the death of B. Ross White on 7 December 1915.9 Inference The state index is drawn from the death certificate, so 7 December is the more likely date; the certificate itself would settle it.9 The death records of several of his children name him as their father, as Brinson Ross White in that of Robert Gabriel White in Texas in 1937 and as "Brensen Ross White" in that of Virginia Bethina Cotton in 1963.10
