I represent Eleanor White. I was a resident of Pensacola during the British colonial period. I was the mother of Thomas White, baptized – probably as an infant – on Feburary 19, 1769. I was identified as a widow. My late husband, and presumably Thomas’ father, was not named in the baptismal record. I may have been called “Nelly” – there was a Nelly White who purchased rum (a staple of the British diet at the time) and molasses from the Pensacola merchants Richard and Caleb Carpenter in 1767.
