    Their home, Brooklyne, was on a plantation in Jones county, where he became
a very skillful physician as well as planter. After serving actively throughout
the Civil War, he died at the age of seventy-three, in Milledgeville. There were
ten children born to Dr. and Mrs. White. Their fourth son, Samuel Gore, was a
physician of remarkable ability, was one of the ablest surgeons in the army, and
performed with skill many major operations. Dr. White's wife was Miss Caroline
Ann Bullock. Their children numbered eleven. Most of them have gone to the Great

    He married Miss Pauline V. DeLauney, about 1827, a most estimable Christian
woman, loved by all who knew her. They reared a large family, who are living
some at the home place, others in various states.

    Mrs. L. Carrington numbered among her forebears these cultured French
people: Dr. Lombrage and his daughter, Mary Frances. This daughter was educated
in a convent at La Rochelle, France. She married Mr. La Bourdais. To them was

the insurrection of the blacks against the whites (about 1764), they fled to
America, leaving their crop of coffee growing in the field. Emily La Bourdais
was married in Norfolk, Virginia, at the age of fifteen years, to Mr. James de
Launey; their children numbered ten. One of their daughters married Mr. Du
Bourg. A son, Francis Vincent, lawyer, married Maria Susan White. These last
