From Historical Notes on the Nola and Elizabeth White Family:
"Sarah Elizabeth Boone White. Her earliest ancestors of whom I know anything
about were her grandparents, Skinner Boone and Amanda Holmes. Both came from
wealthy slave owning families in eastern Pike Co., MS. The Skinner Boone plantation
home still stands some three miles east of Summit, Mississippi. Skinner Boone,
though not a descendant of Daniel Boone, was descended from the same Boone branch
on the eastern seaboard."
"Their families lost everything as a result of the Civil War. Skinner Boone
was born in Marion County, Miss., near Columbia. He was married to Amanda Holmes
of Pike County, a distant relative of David Holmes, first governor of Mississippi.
Among their children was John Thomas Boone, mother's dad. He was born October
3, 1847 in Pike County, Miss. When the Civil War began he was too young to enlist
in Pike County so he ran away and joined the Louisiana 17th Cavalry under Captain
Ed Gatlin and fought all through the war as a distinguished scout."
"Children of the Skinner Boone family were John T. Boone, born October 3,
1847, died November 20, 1924. He is buried at the Beauvoir Soldier's Home on
the Gulf Coast of Mississippi; Rev. Josiah Boone, who was for 60 years a Baptist
minister of great power in the pulpit, was at one time pastor of Shiloh Baptist
Church, near Nola, Mississippi, buried in Brookhaven; Billy Boone also buried
in Brookhaven; Jeff D. Boone; Elijam Boone, buried at Old Providence Church in
Lawrence County; Amanda Boone who married John Andrews. Their daughter, Nonnie,
was the mother of Daisy Plantz of McComb."
"John T. Boone, mother's father, when he returned from the Civil War, married
in 1866 his childhood sweetheart, Lou C. Bullock, at the Skinner Boone home.
As the Boone, Holmes and Bullock fortunes were all lost in the war, John T.
Boone and Lou Bullock Boone moved to Wesson, Mississippi to begin their life
anew. Their oldest child, Sarah Elizabeth Boone, was born May 18, 1867. In
January 1888 she married Nola White and she died September 14, 1919 at Corpus
Christi, Texs in the hurricane."
