John was born in Virginia in 1785, was a ranger in the war of 1812, died
in 1860, and was buried at the Buckeye Cemetery.  He was the son of Capt.
John White, of the Revolutionary war.  Three of Catherine's brothers were
in the battle of New Orleans, with Gen. Andrew Jackson, two of whom
received honorable wounds.  Subject was first married, December 13, 1834,
to Temperance, daughter of Richard and Nancy (Martin) Owen, and to them
were born Nancy E. (Roberts), Epaphroditus (an honored Captain in the
Fifty-sixth Illinois Infantry who died at Vicksburg), William D. (of the

Illinois in 1855, wherre she has taught school many years (having taught
thirty-six years in all), being one of the most thorough and efficient
teachers as every man can attest that the county has ever known.  At a
time when all passing from the States to the army in the field was
prohibited, by her indomitable courage and perseverance she passed through
the lines, arriving at Vicksburg in time to nurse her sick husband and
step-son into life again.  Her father, an old teacher, was born in
Palmyra, N. Y., in 1779, died July 29, 1855, and was buried in Buckeye
