For a short time after their marriage, Mary Jane Johnson and Melvin White made Nassau County their home. Later, the family moved to Jacksonville,
Florida. Melvin and Mary Jane were parents to Frederick M., born in September 1877; Newman, born about 1881; Melvin, Jr., born about 1885: Andrew Jackson, born in May 1887, and another son and a daughter.

Mary Jane Johnson and Melvin White's son Melvin, Jr. married Julia and in 1924 was living in Jacksonville where he was working as
