Shown in Louisiana, Wills and Probate Records, 1775-1984, Succession File No. 2322-2380, 1914-1915, for Mary C. White, as one of eight surviving children of her parents, viz "Cade W. White...(resident) of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana."

When he registered for the draft during World War I, he was a resident of Shreveport, and manager at the Southern Farm Co. His nearest relative was his wife, Mrs. Oliva White. She was shown as having gray eyes and brown hair, and being tall and slender.

The Social Security Applications and Claims Index has a listing for a Cade W. White, the husband of Oliva McMichael, and father of Edward Earl White. Cade's older sister, Bessie, was married to Artie McMichael.

(Research):

Could Cade be a nickname for Cajabeth? Jack White emailed, in August, 2013, that he is descended from Cajabeth White, who was living in Bute Co, NC with his brother, William, as early as 1766. He had two sons, John and Robert. John White inherited land from a man named John Seagrove, whose will names John White as his nephew. It seems likely that Cajabeth's wife, Frances, was a Seagrove, but this is not proven.

The 1771 tax list for Bute Co shows that Young McLemore, who is part of your family tree, had an overseer named John Seagrove, who appears on a number of documents with members of the McLemore family before they migrated out of Bute (later Warren) Co. I have been trying for a couple of years to piece together precisely how the Seagrove, McLemore and White families may have interacted with one another, but the Seagrove family history is as complicated as that of the Whites.

The thing that interests me about your website is that Cajabeth White was frequently referred to in court documents as Cade, and I see in your website that two sons of Edward White (b. 1781 in Mecklenburg Co, VA) each had sons they named Cade.
