Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 2nd ed., 
1885, Butler Co.

WILLIAM E. WHITE was born in Butler County, Ky., January 15, 1827, and 
is a twin brother of Oliver C. White, and a son of Nancy (Daughety) 
White, also a native of Butler County, Ky.  She had six children, all 
sons, William E. and his twin brother being the only survivors.  William 
E. received such an education as the schools of Kentucky afforded in his 
youth.  He resided with his grandfather Daughety, a native of North 
Carolina until the latter's death, after which he remained with his 
mother until her death July 4, 1854, in about her forty-fifth year.  She 
was a devoted member of the United Baptist Church.  The next year after 
their mother's death, William E. and his brother erected a horse-mill on 
the old home place, which they operated several years in connection with 
farming.  When only a lad, in about 1840, our subject bought twenty-five 
acres of land from his uncle, William Daughety on the Indian Camp Creek, 
which he afterward traded to his brother.  He now owns a well improved 
farm adjoining his first purchase, of 180 acres, where he is 
successfully engaged in farming, making the culture of tobacco a 
specialty.  In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company I, which was 
afterward consolidated with Company F, Twelfth Kentucky Volunteer 
Cavalry (Federal service) and served with that regiment in all its 
marches and engagements until the close of the war, being mustered out 
at Louisville, Ky., in September, 1865.  He participated in the battles 
of Knoxville, Kenesaw Mountain, Atlanta, the Saline Salt Works, Clinch 
Gap and may other lesser engagements.  He was married August 9, 1852, 
to Margaret M. Snodgrass, also a native of Butler County, Ky.  She was 
born June 3, 1836, and is a daughter of Christopher and Hannah (Embrey) 
Snodgrass.  Ten children blessed this union, eight of whom, six sons 
and two daughters are living: Sarah E. Evans, Woodford H., Stephen 
A. D., Odecy C. Evans, Oliver C., Christopher M., John A. and Charles W.  
Mr. White and wife have been for many years members of the Baptist 
Church, in which he has held various official positions.  At present he 
is deacon.  Politically he is a Republican.
