| My main WHITE page WHY WE ARE INTERESTED IN THIS FAMILY: William White and his wife Chloe Chard settled early in Sidney Townshp. He can be confused with the other William White who married Hannah Tompkins and also settled in Sidney. It appears the two families are not closely related. The information is posted here to guide WHITE researchers to separate the two families. |
The lineage information below came to me from Peter Johnson via other people and is from "The Mack & Sine Familes" by Harry and Edwin Mack. Peter writes that the date of publication is uncertain, but some research was done circa 1913, and this publication seems to date from the 1940s or 50s. I am concerned about copyright and hopefully someone close to the author can contact me about this material. In my own research I have come across this record below for William and also his son Benoni first shows up in 1842 (p 91) in the Sidney Township Minute book under the 8th Concession, so he likely inherited the farm from his father. WILLIAM WHITE 1. Militia List - Sgt William White, age 39, Sidney, Lot 5, Conc 8, Sidney, dated 22 Apr 1815. Source: Early Militia Lists of Hastings County, 1799-1826, Don Kellaway, OGS, 1994, TPL Can. Rm, p. 3 Note: In checking the Lot 15, Conc 8 there was no mention of Wm White as owner. The land was Clergy Reserve and may have been leased. |

Proof that William White (Chard) did not buy land in Concession 1 and 2 in Sidney. The records below show the lots in question moving from the other William White to his son Reuben. Cornelius White is the oldest son of William White and the executor of the estate and sells the lot to his brother Reuben. This shows the statement above is an error. 1809 On 28 June 1809, Joseph Rosebush, Sidney, sells to William White, Sidney, yeoman, Lot 13, E1/2, Conc 1, Sidney, 142 acres.
