Source: Thomas White Collection of Monroe County;
In an old trunk in the attic of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Black,
Vonore, Monroe Co., Tennessee, there has recently come to light a veritable treasury of letters and
papers, dating from 1776. Mrs. Black is a descendant of Thomas White, who came to Monroe Co. in the
1820's, and his wife Jane Young White. Some of these papers belonged to Josiah I. Wright, an
attorney of Monroe County, and a son-in-law of Thomas White. Letters to and from his clients and
the Pension Office are sources of information about many Monroe County citizens. 19 May 1860;
Letter from A.T. Haun, Springfield, MO to J. I. Wright;
ascertained that Thomas Marshall died in Lawrence Co., and that Adm. never paid the money into the
County Treas., but died with it in his hands.
