Col. Thomas Bannister White was born in Georgia in 1807, making him one of the oldest Confederados to make the trip to Brazil. He died in Cantagalo, Rio de Janeiro in 1877. He was married five times, all but the last (Elisa Clark Ruland, the widow Kerr) predeceased him. He met and married her in Brazil. The four times widower (wife number four dying in 1866) would only have surviving children, from his second wife, Elizabeth Shepherd Kirby who died in 1857. Of nine children born, only two sons (Joseph Henry White and Lucius Alphonso White) would survive to make the trip to Brazil - a third son (Jared Kirby White) survived childhood but would be killed in North Carolina (1865) at the end of the Civil War.

Col White was in the group of 109 that left Mobile in July 1867 on the steamer RED GAUNTLET for Para.There was apparently a passenger list published in articles in the Mobile Advertiser of 13 & 14 Jul 1867 [if anyone can find these, I would certainly like to see a copy or transcript].The REG GAUNTLET has problems and left the passengers at St Thomas, from whence they had to buy passage on another steamer for Para, and then also up the Amazon to Santarem, where they arrived in September 1867.
The group became disattisfied at Santarem and, after complaining to the US Consul tha the provicial govrnment had not kept their side of the settlement agreement (eg the road to Santarem had not been built), most left for Belem where they took various jobs to make ends meet.Col White, with his wife and sons, were amongst those that stayed on a while at Santarem, though later they moved to Santa Barbara d'Oeste in Sao Paulo State (with the families Demaret and Barr).
It seems that Col White might well have been Joseph Henry White.At some time, within the Santa Barbara Confederados, there was a marriage between William White (perhaps one of the sons) and Esther Ferguson.

The following is a report of Private Jared K. White
as told in an article written by journalist Dennis
Rogers sometime in the 1980's and printed in the
Goldsboro News Argus. In it you will learn a bit
about Private White.
It reads as follows:
"There is something special about Jared K. White from Austin County, Texas, something that has kept his memory alive through the years. He represents every brave soldier who left home at age mineteen to serve his country. He represents every brave soldier who gallantly fought for his cause suffering the horrors that is war. He represents every brave soldier who died giving the last full measure of devotion to the people back home who were proud of him and grieved for him when he died. He represents every brave soldier who lies in a distant grave, his service honorably done.
"He is what Memorial Day is all about.
"Jared K. White was nineteen and a farm boy from east Texas when he joined the favored 8th Texas Cavalry, the brave band of hard riding Texans who fought for four years as Terry's Texas Rangers. Their name was so honored that when the war was over, the first statewide law enforcement agency in Texas would take their name.
"White and his fellow Rangers fought their way across the South from 1861-1865. When there was nothing left but the dream of the Confederate States of America, when Robert E. Lee was trapped by U. S. Grant at Petersburg and when Johnston was trapped by Sherman at Goldsboro, when the Confederate States of America was nothing more than a slice of two battered states, Jared K. White was still riding hard in eastern North Carolina.
"The war would end three weeks later but on March 20, 1865 on the banks of Nahunta Creek near Goldsboro, young White still had a job to do. The Texas Rangers were on patrol near Goldsboro when four men, including White, came across a band of Union foragers stealing food from a young Wayne County mother who was at home alone with her child and a young servant girl. The Rangers, as they had always done when faced with the hated bummers, did not hesitate. They attacked and killed the foragers, looping ropes around their boots and dragging their bodies behind their horses and dumping them in sinkholes in the woods. One of the bummers was alive and escaped back to Union headquarters to report the Rangers were still fighting in the area.
"Sherman sent out a patrol to trap the Rangers and the two sides met at Nahunta Creek near what is now Fremont. A group of Union infantrymen were marching up a small road when the Rangers who were lying in wait attacked them. Another group of Union cavalrymen rode up the creek itself and in that first volley from the Confederate rifles, fourteen of the Federals fell. White repeatedly dashed from his cover to fire at the Federals and on his last dash, he was shot to death in the saddle. Another Ranger, his horse killed by the same round that killed White, lept into White's empty saddle and the battle continued until the Federals withdrew.
"His Texas comrades wrapped White's body in his horse's blanket and buried him under a large Oak tree on a hill overlooking the small and since forgotten battlefield.
"They built a sturdy wood fence around the grave and asked William Benjamin Forte, who owned the land, where the battle and burial took place, and a slave named Durden Forte to see that it was never disturbed. Durden Forte was given the Ranger's saddle to seal the bargain.
"William B. Forte, the elder Forte's son wrote in 1904, 'often times while walking over the old homestead, I would wander by the Ranger's lonely grave beneath the whispering pines and wonder if loved ones in far off Texas would ever learn the fate of the dear soldier boy missed by the family fire.'
"The war moved on from Goldsboro and Nahunta Creek. Three weeks later it would all end for Lee at Appomattox and for Joe Johnston at Bennett Place near Durham. The Texas soldiers who fought would be going home and some of them would be passing by the grave of their comrade left behind at Goldsboro.
"William B. Forte, on whose farm the young Texas soldier fought, died and was buried, was concerned that his family in Texas know what happened to him. In 1904, he recalled what happened.
"Fate soon solved the problem as there came in the neighborhood two Texas soldiers on their way home down in Texas from Appomattox driving a double team to a buggy.
"Hearing of these Texas soldiers, I drove over to Nahunta and met them. I found one of them to be Colonel Hooks who came by the Hooks neighborhood to visit some of his father's relatives, his father having years before emigrated to Texas. I informed Colonel Hooks of the death and burial of Ranger White and he said he knew White and his family, as they were neighbors. The colonel said he would inform the White family upon his arrival home. Months after Hooks made it back to Texas, Forte was sitting with his bother and father on their front porch one day when a buggy with two men drove in the yard and it was followed by a hearse. One of the men was Jared White's brother. He had ridden a horse from Texas to North Carolina with instructions make sure the dead boy was indeed Jared, if so to re-bury him in the Confederate cemetery in Goldsboro.
"All of us proceeded to the grave after taking along with us Durden Forte who assisted in the burial of the Ranger. When the body was exhumed and after unfolding the army blanket from around it, his brother said he could swear to those two family rings upon his brother's fingers. Young White placed those rings in his pocket to show his parents that they were the same rings that were placed upon his dead brother's fingers when he left to join the 8th Texas Cavalry.
"After placing the body in a beautiful casket, they carried it to Goldsboro and re-buried it in a lot apart from the beautiful monument erected by the Goldsboro Rifles to the eight hundred Confederate Heros who bivouacked beneath it.
"Young White had a marble slab erected at the head of his brother's grave and built a substantial iron railing around the grave before he left. He informed me that his family requested that our family should look after his hero son's grave."

Here was a young man who rode two thousand miles from home on horseback to fight for what he believed in. He fought side by side with Tar Heel boys. I would like to think that if a Tar Heel boy died in Texas, good people there would take care of him.

I donot know if you are still looking, but it appears that you are seeking for the same White family...
I believe my Thomas Bannister White, Doctor Juris, who lived in Fazenda do Funil, Limeira, Distrito de Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil, might be the Colonel you are looking for. TB WHITE married my widowed gg-grandmother Eliza Clark [Ruland] Kerr in his very farm, on 3 April 1870.
Eliza had no issues with Col White, but they both had children from previous marriage.
It could be another Colonel you are looking for, but since I donot know much on the Whites before they went to Brazil, here is my "half" of the Whites in Brazil; the one [or two] White family who went to Brazil in 1867.
Thomas Bannister White, Doctor Juris of the Fazenda do Funil, Campinas, SP, Brazil [b.Abt 1807 Georgia, USA-d25 January 1877, Cantagalo, Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil] was the son of JosephWhite and Avarella Bannister from Georgia, USA.
Eliza C [Ruland] Kerr [b.9 May 1827, St. Charles County, MO., US - d.27 August 1884, Cantagalo, RJ - Br- At age 57 "na residencia de seu filho, Warwick"]was the daughter of Gen John Ruland[bApril 1789, River Raisin, MI-d 1 Jan 1849 St Louis, MO] of the Militia of Territory of MO,and Ann Farrar Wells[b21 October 1799Jeferson Co. KY - d.24 June 1845 ST Louis, MO]. Ann F Wells was the daughter of General Samuel Wells[b.cir1754/60 VA., died 25 July 1830 St Charles MO]and Mrs. Mary Spear. Saml Wells of the KY Militia and Colonel of the 17th US Infantry of KY; 3 times House Representative, KY; and legislator in St Charles, MO after 1817; Lieut Saml Wells[then] saved the life of Col Floyd [Capt, then] during an Indian battle; Saml also founded "Capt. Wells' Station" in Shelby County early after the survey at Licking Fork, KY [cir 1774-1784]. Too
many historical entries are available here, before, during and after the war of 1812 in the NW,to justly show all the good Samuel Wells did for his country.
One of Saml's young brothers was Capt. William Wells of Fort Wayne, who was kidnapped as a child by the Maumee Indians [see. Chief Little Turtle's Tribe- at the Maumee, OH], and raised with them until adulthood when he returned to live with the white civilization under Gen. Winchester command, at Fort Wayne, IN [after "St Clair's Defeat"].
One of Eliza C Kerr's maternal aunt was Mrs Rebecca [Wells] Heald [b. cir1790 Louisville, Jefferson Co., Ky - d. Abt 1857, St .Charles, MO] wife of Major Nathan Heald [b.24 September 1775, New Ipswich, New Hampshire-US - d. 27 April 1832, O'Fallen, St. Charles County, Missouri; buried in the Family lot.], the Commander of Fort Dearborn [survivals of the Fort's massacre in 15 Aug 1812].
For more sources see: Draper Mss. 24U75 and 24U79. Letters- Eliza to Rebecca[1851 -#75] [aunt Rebecca letter to Eliza[1855 -#79]. See also: Gen John Ruland letter to LC Draper, on Draper Mss. 44J84. See Draper Mss 24U29for assorted Heald Family's papers and Draper Mss 24U38,
for more Heald Family notes.
I have Lucio [Luke] A. White noted as Thomas' son from previous [US] marriage but I still have to verified this.
This is [age average] a much older family than the typical family migrating to Brazil between 1866-1868.
The children here are not so young.TB White was 63 on 3 April 1870 when he married my widowed gg-grandmother Eliza C. [Ruland] Kerr in Campinas County, SP, Brazil. They had no issues. They moved from Rio, in 1870, where Eliza lived, to "Fazenda do Funil" [ie. farm's name], where
"Col White" had much land, in Limeira, Distrito de Campinas, Sao Paulo - Brazil.
Col White apparently also had land in Sorocaba, where my mother was born.
My widowed gg-grandmother Eliza C Kerr set sails to Brazil with the Keye's Family, her sister and husband, Capt. Freligh, and her two young Kerr sons, all in the S.S. Marmion in April 1867, from New Orleans, LA., among other families from all over the US and some families from Europe as well. This was in a land tract acquisition program the Emperor of Brazil Dom Pedro was offering at the time to everyone in the US and Europe, not
exclusively to American confederates. Although many families were from the South of the USA or were geographically coming via the South of the US, the Civil War was long over. Most families were definitely not interested in confederalism in Brazil, the least --In long term, most families returned to the USA. Only a few families acquired their own lands in different places [such is the case with the KERRs], mostly the Southeast of Brazil.Sao Paulo has ever since been the most successfull and profitable State in Brazil with its economy, particularly with the farm animals and agriculture. Obviously, most Americans who settled in that very area, a flourishing urban area surrounding the city of Sao Paulo, were prone to succeed, versus all the other american colonies that attempted but failed to expand in Brazil's wild, virgin and harsh forests of the state of
Espirito Santo and Para.
I donot know what happened to Lucio, but reports from Jennie's Diary suggests that he was going[1868-69] to Argentina with Samuel C. Kerr, Eliza's first son from first marriage to Kerr.Samuel never did go to Argentina, or if he did he returned to Brazil shortly after, for he died in Rio de Janeiro in 1873 of Yellow Fever. Eliza's sister, Susan Rebecca[Ruland], married Capt John Henry Freligh[St Louis, MO 1843], had several children,
including John Ruland Freligh b5 June 1847,St. Louis, MO - d30 January 1885, Calico, California, at 11 PMin his 38th year[see: Jennie's Diary for more mentions of Ruland Freligh and-see: "FREELY, John H.", or "KERR, James D., Jr.", in US FED Census 1850 St Louis, MO , the Freligh Family and the Kerr household all living together at the time];Eliza ("Lizzie" in Jennie's Diary) Kerr Freligh b.3 August 1851, St Louis, MO - d.8
February 1937-San Diego Co, CA, USA, buried in Sierra Madre Pioneer Cemetery[married William Francis Shippey d.1899 Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri; Burial-Episcopal Cemetery, Ks City, Jackson, MO]; andWilliam V. Freligh b1858 Memphis, TN-d1920, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [also noted as Freleigh in Brazil] among other cousins. Much of this is News to Genealogy as a whole.
The source of all of this comes from researches I have conducted with DATA gathered from my Eliza C Kerr's Bible, US Newspaper announcements, military and consular documents, US Fed Census, Court and vital records' documents, several different historical publications,
pictures, oral history and other church records., all about these families.
A picture of Samuel C Kerr along with the Millers [Family who went to the Rio Doce in 1867] is also published in one of the Alabama Historical Society Magazines of 1930 with part of the article about "Jennie's Diary". The rest of this article was to be continued, but somehow the magazine seized its publication only to resume its publication 10 years later.
"Jennie's Diary" was initiated as a diary by Jennie's mother, Julia Hentz Keyes, a granddaughter of the American novelist Caroline Lee Hentz.
Julia handed the diary to her daughter, Jennifer ["Jennie"] Keyes, once they arrived in Brazil so that shewould continued to narrate many of their adventures during their short stay of few Years in Brazil(1867-1870+). Later in 1874, Julia, already back in the USA, sorted all writtings to
publish her story as "Our Life in Brazil" [see more on "Our Life in Brazil"- ] - [I have copy of the complete "Our Life in Brazil" if you need me to check for other people] .
A recently-discovered cousin of mine, namely Anne [Fisher] Ahlert, is a direct living descendant of William V. Freligh .Anne5 [Malcolm Fisher4, Ignes Freligh Fisher3, William Violette Freligh2, Capt JH Freligh1]lives in Illinois Today with her husband and a beautiful new born daughter -an avid researcher of genealogy[the best contact for the Frelighs Today, that I know]. Another new finding during my researches are the
descendants of Eliza Kerr [Freligh] Shippey who live in California [Today], being the children of Henry Lee Shippey[ie. the writer aka "Henry Lee"3, Eliza Kerr Freligh2, Capt JH Freligh1] -Some great living proof of evidence for the Shippeys who went to Brazil and returned back to the
USA safely during 1867-1870/2.
Lizzie [Eliza Kerr Freligh] was named after her aunt, my gg grandmother,while they[Frelighs and Kerrs] lived together in 1850 in St Louis, MO.
Eliza Clark Kerr's [Mrs Kerr in Jennie's Diary] only other son from the first marriage was Warwick Stephen Kerr[b.4 January 1852 at Uncle John Henry Freligh's home Sunday, 3AM in Memphis, TN-USA- d.12 July 1912, Santos, Sao Paulo, Brazil], my great grandfather, who stayed in Rio de
Janeiro after his mother re-married leaving Rio in 1870 to Fazenda do Funil with then new husband Thomas B. White.
Some cousins and uncles carry the family name "Ruland Kerr" to this day -see: Adml L. Ruland Kerr4 -alive in Rio, Brazil [Rev. Wm C. Kerr3, Warwick S Kerr2, Eliza&James D Kerr, Jr1].
One of my 2nd cousins, Eliza White Kerr4[b 1909- alive; -- Emil3, Warwick2, Eliza&James D Kerr, Jr.1], was named after her great grandmother Eliza C Kerr and her, then, new husband Col. T. B. White . Most of my KERR family still lives in Campinas area, Sao Paulo city and Rio de Janeiro to this day. A few cousins are scattered in the USA.
Many relatives were born in Macaeh, Rio de Janeiro , others in Cantagalo, Rio de Janeiro, or Sao Paulo,Campinas, among other cities in the state of Minas Geraes, Brazil.
I have the original marriage certificate of Thomas with Eliza at Fazenda do Funil in Limeira, Campinas SP, Brazil, where it reads that Col. P. Hardeman and Wm Turner were witness at the wedding while Rev G Nash Norton performed the ceremony under the authority of the Evangelical Church of
Brazil. I am not sure but it could be that both Thomas and his father Joseph were called by, in Brazil, the title of "Colonel" as it was customary to treat respectful families that way back then.To a certain extant, this is still a commonlyused practice in the country side of Brazil, Today.
[See also the over extended use of the pronoun "Doctor", applied often to non-doctors in Brazil, to this day].
The so called "american society" in Americana used to gather at my great grandmother and Dr. White's home, in Fazenda do Funil, on every afternoon for a friendly reunion.Eliza and Thomas' marriage certificate reads [note about the ceremony]: "In the Fazenda do Funil, at the house where the american society used to gather at 2 PM".KERRs in Brazil did not arrive from TX, but from DC and MO.Capt JH Freligh was from
Plattsburg, NY. And the Whites were from Georgia, USA.
Does any of this close any connection gaps?
Answering here also to a previously posted request of David Asprey on the "History of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil": this is a book in my family's library, as my grandfather Rev William Cleary Kerr, Presbyterian, was rector of the Presbyterian Seminary of the SE of Brazil, Campinas, SP, where Rev. Julio Ferreira also taught Theology for years. I have a cousin checking Rev Emerson entries - I will let Mr. Asprey know as soon as I get the results,
if he doesnot have this yet.In an important note, Rev Julio Ferreira, who was a close friend of our family and a Pastor in our local Presbyterian Church of the Jardim Guanabara, Campinas, SP, has passed away just two weeks ago, on 11 OCT 2001, in Campinas, SP., where he resided with his wife. He
was also a close friend of my parents andmyself as well as a much loved pastor in our whole Brazilian community, an important teacher for the
history of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil.

Col White was in the group of 109 that left Mobile in July 1867 on the steamer RED GAUNTLET for Para.There was apparently a passenger list published in articles in the Mobile Advertiser of 13 & 14 Jul 1867 [if anyone can find these, I would certainly like to see a copy or transcript].The REG GAUNTLET has problems and left the passengers at St Thomas, from whence they had to buy passage on another steamer for Para, and then also up the Amazon to Santarem, where they arrived in September 1867.
The group became disattisfied at Santarem and, after complaining to the US Consul tha the provicial govrnment had not kept their side of the settlement agreement (eg the road to Santarem had not been built), most left for Belem where they took various jobs to make ends meet.Col White, with his wife and sons, were amongst those that stayed on a while at Santarem, though later they moved to Santa Barbara d'Oeste in Sao Paulo State (with the families Demaret and Barr).
It seems that Col White might well have been Joseph Henry White.At some time, within the Santa Barbara Confederados, there was a marriage between William White (perhaps one of the sons) and Esther Ferguson.
