Thomas and Mahala (Householder) White raised four children:

1. Thomas Webster White (c1834-bet1883-1890)
2. William Flavius White (1838-1908)
3. Sciota (White) Hanks (1840-1924)
4. Fletcher White (1842-1914)

Research Notes

Some sources list several other children for the couple, but it does not appear that those relationships are correct because:

• The four children listed above and no others are listed with the parents in the 1850 census
• The four children listed above and no others are listed in Mahala's will
• The four children listed above and no others are listed in son Fletcher's will
• Some of the other supposed children were born before 1834 when Thomas and Mahala were married
• Most of the supposed children were supposedly born in a place there is no evidence the family ever lived

It is possible they had other children that died young, but seems unlikely they had other children that lived to adulthood, unless they died as young adults without having children (since Mahala named the children of her deceased son Webster in her will)
