William White and Nancy Hooper came into Carroll County, Georgia as early as 1827 along with their eleven sons and their families. The families traveled together with the Word and Hooper Families. These people are listed on the church rolls of the Tallapoosa Primitive Baptist Church on Tyus Road. Nancy Hooper White died in 1837 and is probably buried in an unmarked grave in the cemetery. William White and his eleven sons began buying up Land Lots in the West Georgia area and they settled on the GA/AL State Line all the way from Troup County, to Paulding County. At one time William owned much of the Land Lots around the square in Carrollton, GA. The following information was copied from the WILLIAM WHITE BIBLE that was in the home of MISS RACHEL WHITE. The records from the Bible list the names and the dates of the eleven sons of WILLIAM WHITE and NANCY HOOPER. I do not have copies of the Bible record........wish I did!
