It has been copied almost word-for-word. I usually don't comment on these things, but after years of researching many families all from original sources, and now seeing so much of what I happily gave to people, "posted" (I prefer plagiarized) with their name attached, I'm finally speaking out. I spent weeks in Delaware and it wasn't easy research because there were so many unrelated White familes with similar names. I had to research all of them to sort out the ones that were my ancestors. I also spent months in Indiana doing this research because many of the Delaware Whites went there. This required tracking down the original sources and even today (the work was done over 20 years ago) most of it is not on-line. This is not easy work and it takes a lot of time and money to do it properly. People who take other people's writings and copy it onto the Internet without mentioning the author and without sources are being thoughtless to the people who did all the work. Also, anybody can make anything up, put it on the Internet, then countless people can mindlessly copy it. I've seen a number of families I've researched on-line with completely fictitious family lines. If you didn't do the research or know the sources, don't put it out there for the world to see!
