ASBERRY WHITE was born in Monroe County, Ky., December 1, 1827, where he 
grew up and now resides. His father, Thomas White, was born about 1799, 
also in Monroe County.  He was a son of Thomas White, Sr., who was born 
in Ireland; was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and at an early day 
immigrated to Kentucky, and settled in Crab Orchard, where he resided 
until about 1790, when he removed to Monroe County, and here he died. 
Thomas Sr., was a son of Peter White, who was also a native of Ireland.  
Thomas White, the father of our subject, married about 1825, Elizabeth, 
daughter of Daniel and Martha (Frazer) Payne, of Monroe County. From 
this union sprang Jorden, Nancy (Norman), Martha (Jackson), Elizabeth 
(Bushong), Amanda (Hope), Sarah (Gillentine), and John T. Asberry White 
married, October 19, 1865, Parmelia S., daughter of George W. and Nancy 
(Bryant) Bushong. To them have been born George T., Clayton G. and 
Birche O.  Mr. White has by close economy and untiring industry, and 
without other assistance than such as was afforded by strong arms and a 
good constitution became the owner of 300 acres of well improved and 
productive land in a fine state of cultivation.  He is a moral man, and 
in religion holds to the doctrine of the Christian Church.  In politics 
he is a Republican.
