Gov Thomas Welles - In 1646 Thomas married Elizabeth Foote, widow of Nathaniel Foote who died in Wethersfield in 1643, and sister of Joseph Deming of Wethersfield. She was unwilling to leave the homestead of many acres she was managing after her husband's death.
As a result, one of the highest officers in the colony left his home in the center of Hartford and moved to Wethersfield with his younger children, Samuel and Sarah who were raised with her younger children Frances, Sarah, and Rebecca.
Thomas wrote his will on 7 Nov 1659. He seemed to be in good health on the evening of 14 Jan 1659/60, being well after supper, but dead by midnight. His will left his wife the use of half his housing and orchard, with her own land to be returned to her. His own land and house went to his grandson Robert, the only child of his oldest son to live in Wethersfield.
He left land to sons Samuel and Thomas, and to Thomas son of the deceased son John, 20 pounds to Thomas, Samuel, Mary's children, Anne, Sarah, and 10 pounds to Mary Robbins' children. Elizabeth lived another 22 years, leaving her estate to her children and grandchildren by Nathaniel Foote.

In Virgie Speight's "Old Timers of Sabine County, Texas," a column originally written September 26, 1963 about Dolly Wente Arnold was published, on the occasion of Dollie's Ninetieth Birth Anniversary. Dolly remembered her mother spinning thread and weaving cloth, skills which she learned as a child, but did not have to use after growing up. She continues to knit, crochet and embroider. Mrs. Arnold and her two sisters attended a private school in Hemphill taught by Miss Margaret Weatherred, and later went to Hemphill public school. (Speights, p. 22)
At the time of the 1940 census, Dolly was living with her daughter and son-in-law, Della and John Cox, in Houston, Texas.

Too old to be the Catharina Werner who married Christian Cramer and moved to Ohio. That was more likely Maria Catherina Werner, born in 1791 to the same parents.
Dean Cramer shows her as a daughter of Jacob Werner and his first wife, Catharina Elixabeth Cramer, both of York County, PA. He shows she was christened at the Stone Church in York, with Helfer and Sophia Cramer as sponsors.
Could there have been two Jacob Werner's born to Johann and Judith? Ancestry.com, York County, PA Church Records, 1760-1800: Codorus Township, shows a Jacob Werner born 10 Mar 1782 and Baptized on 6 Apr 1782, as well as one born 16 Mar 1786 and baptized 17 Apr 1786. It is unclear if these are two separate records, or the same original record being transcribed differently.
Roger Cramer shows that Jacob married first Catharina Cramer, the daughter of Helfer Cramer and Sophia Neidig. Chuck Winter shows that he married second Juliana Cramer, also a daughter of Helfer Cramer and Sophia Neidig.
Additionally, Chuck Winter shows that Jacob Werner, the son of Johannes and Judith, died ca 1846.
Interestingy, the 1850 Manhiem Twp, York County, PA census shows there is a head of household named Jacob Werner. This one is younger however, born ca 1805 in PA. Though he is too young to be our Jacob, he appears to be too old to be a namesake son, at least based on the reported date of marriage (1808) between Jacob and his purported first wife, Catharine. The Jacob Werner on the 1850 census in Manheim is living with a 50 year old Cath Werner. Many of the younger Werner's in the household have the same names, and similar ages, to the children usually attributes to the Jacob Werner who married first Catharina Cramer and later her sister Julis Anna Cramer. It is not certain how the Jacob Werner, shown on the census to be born ca 1805, relates to the two older Jacob Werners' shown in York County church records as the son of Johannes and Judith Werner, if he is related at all.
These families should be further researched and documented very carefully, as is is possible that they are or could be conflated or otherwise confused.
Clarence E. Cramer, in his manuscript about "The Family of Johan Helfer Cramer", page 57-a, shows Jacob and Juliana as the parents of (1) Jacob Smith Warner, m. Sarah Ann HOFFACKER, buried at The Stone Church; (2) Aaron S. Werner, born 1825, m. Elizabeth BRICKER, buried at The Stone Church; (3) Sabine Werner, born 1825, m. George N. MILLER, buried at The Stone Church; (4) Amanda Werner, born 1828, single, buried at The Stone Church; (5) Henry Werner, b. 1831, married and "moved West" to Columbus, O?; (6) Jessy Werner, b. 1832, married and "moved West" to Columbus, O? (7) Anna Catharina Werner, b. 1833, m. John C. RUHLMAN, buried at The Stone Church; (8) Emaline Werner, b. 1837, m. George F. SHEARER, buied at The Stone Church, (9) Edward S. Werner, b. 1838 m. Lucinda SHEARER, b. at The Stone Church, and (10) Sarah Ella Werner, b. 1841, m. Eli WOLFGANG, buried at The Stone Church.
The 1850 census Manhiem, York County, PA census has a household consisting of Jacob Werner, age 45, Cath Werner, age 50, Aaron Werner, age 26, Henry Werner, age 29, Jacob Werner, age 22, Jessee Werner (Male), age 18, Cath Werner, age 16, Emeline Werner, age 13, Edward Werner, age 12, Ellen Werner, age 10, Sarah Werner, age 10 and Jacob Werner, age 9.
Another Jacob Werner, this one age 34 (born ca 1816) is in South Codorus Twp, York County, PA in 1850. This Jacob is enumerated with a Margaret (age 32), and children Adam (age 7), Daniel (age 6), Matilda (age 4), and John (age 2). Interestingly, a female named Julian Werner, age 57 (born 1793) is also listed in this household. Could this be Juliana Cramer Werner? Also shown in this household were Henry Robenstine age 36, and George Rohrbach, age 40. All occupants of the home were listed as being born in Pennsylvania.

Obituary, as copied from his FindAGrave memorial page:
The Drewryville community received a decided shock last Thursday when one of its oldest citizen suddenly passed away. Naturally we would expect a man who had passed his four score years to take his departed, but Mr. Westbrook was so well preserved and seemed to be doing so well that morning at breakfast, that when the end came at 11 o'clock Thursday, February 17th, all were surprised and filled with sorrow.
Mr. Westbrook was the son of Joseph D. and Nancy Turner Westbrook. He was born in Southampton County, July 9th, 1846, and was 81 years old. He was converted and united with Persons M.E. Church. He never severed this relation and was always honored and loved by his brethren. He was recording steward for many years and superintendent of its Sunday school a long while. He was active in church work as long as his health would permit and when incapacitated for work, he "waited on the Lord" for the call to come up higher.
On October 17, 1873, he was married to Miss Sarah Elizabeth McLemore. God blessed the union with nine children: the first child died in infancy and later Martin L. and Edwin P. died. Mother went to the Heavenly home thirteen years ago and father followed February 17th. They are survived by Arthur B. Westbrook and Hugh L. Westbrook, Mrs. S.P. Johnson, Mrs. W.R.L. Cobb, Mrs. E.E. Duncan and Mrs. O.M. Joyner.
At one time he held office of Commissioner of the Revenue, District No. 2. He was faithful in office, but public office was not consonant with his retiring,
home-loving disposition.
When his State was about to be invaded by an enemy he joined the army of defense and fought under our chivalrous cavalry general, J.E.B. Stuart, until the close of the war.
After the war he came home and taught school several years. His students said he had a wonderful capacity for imparting knowledge. In dealing with the children, he was as kind and gentle as a woman but as thorough as Arnold of Rugby.
Mr. Westbrook was a great comrade with a fine friendly spirit, loving his friends and brethren, believing in them and welcoming every opportunity to add to their happiness and usefulness. The writer bears testimony to a friendship
and fellowship of 48 years duration which deepened and refined with the passing years. He loved his home; his wife was the queen of his heart and his children the joy and delight of his soul. He lived to see all of them culture Christian citizens.
Mr. Westbrook leaves to his children the heritage of an untarnished name and the memory of a beautiful life spent in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ. His life illustrated the truth that "the path of the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." A veteran of the Confederacy has "passed over the river and is resting under the trees; a veteran of the Cross has answered the last call, the Spirit soothed and sustained by an unfaltering trust in One who was the author of his faith and the Captain of his salvation."
Mr. Westbrook was by nature modest, unassuming, amiable and gentle and these traits were by God's grace developed and beautified in his character. He was scrupulous and conscientious, but cheerful, hopeful and happy. All of his
friends and neighbors knew that he was a good man and that his character conformed to the ideal which Christ gives in the beatitudes.
The body bearers were his sons and near relatives: E.E. Duncan, S.P. Johnson, W.R.L. Cobb, Jr., O.M. Joyner, A.B. Westbrook, H.L. Westbrook, James C. Westbrook, and Thomas H. Birdsong, Jr., The honorary pallbearers were: R.A.Pope, John P. Fox. E. Frank Story, F.E. Pope, Roger I. Beale, A.P. Pope, J.W. Claud, C.L. Newsom, R.W. Claud,J.G. Claud, E.J. Persons and John E. Fox.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.K. Lambdin and Rev. W.H. Riddick and loving friends tenderly laid his body to rest by the side of his dear wife in Memorial Cemetery, Drewryville, to await the resurrection morn.
Her FindAGrave memorial page shows her as a daughter of James David Westbrook and Nancy Lewis Turner Westbrook.
Herbert Giles instead shows her as the daughter of John Person Westbrook II and Mary Jane F. Howell.
Eldon and Ann McLemore of Derby, Kansas indicate that she was a sister of James Edwin Westbrook who married her husband's sister.

Her obituary below was copied from her FindAGrave memorial page, created by Carolyn Bair:
Anna Mae McGown, 86, died Tuesday, January 30, 2007 at Calder Woods in Beaumont, Texas. She was born August 23, 1920 in Stowell, Texas. She was a direct descendant of James Taylor White who first came to Texas in 1819. White's Ranch along the Gulf Coast of Southeast Texas is the oldest Anglo-owned ranch in the state. The ranch has been owned and managed for over six generations by descendants of James Taylor White.
Anne grew up in Stowell, Texas; her father was a rancher in Chambers County. Often her family would give teachers in Chambers County room and board. In the summer of 1936 her father brought home a "new comer" to Chambers County, a young man who had recently been transferred to work as a clerk for the Humble Oil Company. Since he had no place to live, her family took him in. He was Paul McGown. He soon became the most popular man around the house.
Anne attended Texas State College for Women in Denton, Texas for two years and then transferred to Sam Houston University, from which she graduated in 1942. Anna and Paul married during Christmas vacation in 1941.
Before moving from Stowell, Anne and Paul were involved in beginning the construction of Winnie Stowell Methodist Church. Upon moving to Beaumont, they became active members of First United Methodist Church. When it was determined that Beaumont needed a new "west end" church, they helped organize and were charter members of Trinity United Methodist Church. Anna has been a member of Trinity for over fifty years.
During the years, Anne taught Sunday school and Vacation Bible School, chaired the Friendship Class Bazaar, worked on the Building Committee, Needlepoint Guild and served on the Trinity Day School Board. She was always there when the church called. Anne is probably best known for her fabulous cooking and her eagerness to share this talent with others. Whenever the church needed a cook, she was there. She was named Mother of the Year in 1999.
She has been a member of the Magnolia Garden Club and the Junior League of Beaumont, and she has served on the board of Buckner's Children's Village.
Anne dearly loved her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren all learned early in life that if they needed something they could call Gammy. She sat through hundreds of ball games, dance recitals and school plays.
Anne was preceded in death by her loving husband, Paul McGown. She is survived by three children, Mike McGown and his wife Lynn, Pat McGown and his wife D'Anne, and Mary Beth Messina and her husband Joseph all of Beaumont; six grandchildren, Mallory McGown of Houston, Michael McGown of London, England, Brent Messina of Houston, Greg Messina and his wife Ashley of Beaumont, Patrick McGown of Dallas, and Mark Messina of Houston; and four great grandchildren, Olivia McGown, Jay Paul Rauscher, Jordan Rauscher and Georgia Messina.
The family would like to thank Anne's caregivers, Myrtle Pickney and Thelma Stredic, as well as the employees of Calder Woods and Odyssey Healthcare of Beaumont.
Funeral service will be 10:00 a.m. Friday, February 2, 2007 at Trinity United Methodist Church followed by burial at Forest Lawn Memorial Park under the direction of Broussard's, 2000 McFaddin, Beaumont. Michael McGown, Brent Messina, Greg Messina, Mark Messina, Patrick McGown, and Jay Paul Rauscher will be serving as pallbearers. Herb Hennington, Ed Thorpe, Frank Easley, Curtis DeMoss, John Jordan, and Ed Curtis will be serving as honorary pallbearers. A gathering of family and friends will be from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Thursday, February 1, 2007 at the mortuary.
Those wishing to make contributions may to so to Trinity United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 5247, Beaumont, Texas 77726.

Rachel Habig emailed, in February 2019, that she knew for a fact that her "2nd great grandmother was names Ary White, after Ary Felder Moore, Mary's aunt. Ary White had a twin sister named Elizabeth "Bessie" White. (My aunt is named "Ary Elizabeth" after them). Due to whatever circumstances, they weren't always in the same household growing up making it tough to 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.
In an article about Jack Causey from OLDTIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS, it is noted that he "attended a one-room school which was called Hickory Hill and was located a bit north of the J.B. Bohannon place. Teachers he remembers are Miss Lillie Speights, Miss Anna Watson (later Mrs. John Dent), Drew White, who married Miss Dora Speights, and Miss Nora Goodrich."
Charlie White reports he had spinal meningitis.
