Luke White was born in Sussex, England around 1801. His death record indicated 1801, but based on his gravestone, he would have been born in 1800. It is likely that he was born in Pullborough, the son of Benjamin John (son of John White) and Mary (Wicker) White, as their locations and son Luke’s birth aligns well with Luke in this family line although not exactly with his gravestone. However, his children’s names do not reflect these names. More research is needed to confirm his parents.
