At Face Value: The Life and Times of Eliza McCormack/John WhiteMcGill-Queen's Press - MQUP, 1 ago 1990 - 264 páginas In a parish register in Ireland, Akenson discovered a record naming an Eliza McCormack White as John's sister.

Further, he suggests that John White can be best understood by recognizing that he was in fact Eliza! |
