Biography as found on findagrave.com
James White of Miller township- one of the first residents of Dearborn co., was
born in New Jersey Jan. 28,1793. His parents, John and Abigail White, were
natives of New Jersey, the former born Jan. 13 1763, the latter Sept. 23, 1766.
they were among the first two or three families who settled this side of the
Miami River, their daughter Sallie believed to the the first white child born
this side of that stream. They first located near Elizabethtown, in the "Big
Bottoms", where they resided about 3 years, then moved to Miller Township, where
the parents ended their days. James White grew to maturity a farmer, and married
Mary Grubbs, by whom he reared 9 children. Mrs. White died in 1855 and in 1869
Mr. White was again married, his second wife being Mrs. Mary Bonham nee Van
Dolah, daughter of Peter and Lucinda Watson Van Dolah, who came to this county
in 1823. After his first marriage Mr. White moved with his family to Johnson co.
IN where he purchased a large forest farm and began the task of clearing it up,
which he accomplished only by many years of hard labor. He subsequently sold the
farm and moved to Franklin, the county seat, and then years later to this
county, where he purchased the farm on which his widow now resides. He died in
1877. He was a member of the Baptist Church and held in high esteem by the
citizens of the community in which he resided.
