Family history traced back to middle ages Europe through the stories of members of the various branches of the family, including the Whites, who arrived on the Mayflower; the AuCoins, who were among the Acadians thrown out of Canada; Charles Prince, a tinsmith in Charleston who manufactured slave badges in the early 1800s; and Laura Wright Eagar, one of early Mississippi's most revered educators. Other family branches include the Aubeys, Hayes, Linders, Hargroves, Wrights and many more.
