"Cade" AKA Cajabeth White #52ancestors

This post is about my ancestor John White's father Cadbreth AKA Cade who was also known as Cajabeth and many other variations of his name. The letter comes from a cousin who is researching the White line that John is in. I recently got this letter in my inbox and thought I would share it with you here....

Raymond, John White of Surry Co was my 4th great grandfather. I have been collaborating with several other descendants over the past few years in an effort to determine his lineage. We've made some progress. I feel very confident that his father was a man named Cajabeth White m. Frances LNU. He had an elder brother named Robert m. Ann Bush. Cajabeth lived for many years in Bute (later Warren) Co, NC. The earliest known record of him is a 1766 tax list, when he was living in the household of his brother, William. Cajabeth moved briefly to Mecklenburg Co, VA in 1795 before moving on to Rockingham Co, NC. He and his wife appear to have died in 1798, the year Cajabeth made out his will. John may have moved briefly to Mecklenburg Co as well, but by 1800 was living in Caswell Co. He and his family migrated to Surry Co around 1815, but can't be found in the census records until 1830. He was named in the will of John Seagroves as the latter's nephew. Seagroves was the bondsman for the marriage bond of Henrietta White. I have taken the Y-DNA test offered by Family Tree. It showed a close match to men with the surname West and no matches to men with the surname White. (My Y-DNA matches that of my uncle, so I'm pretty sure I'm in the right family.) A distant White cousin is taking the test now in an effort to see if his Y-DNA also matches the Wests. With his results I hope to be able to identify when in genealogical time this paternity cross-over may have happened. I would be happy to share my tree with you. We have collected quite a few documents about Cajabeth White. Please let me know if you are interested.
