General Notes: Husband - Rev. Nathan Grier White


He spent three and one-half years at West Nottingham Academy, Cecil County, Maryland, preparatory to entering Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania; entered that college in 1826 and was graduated in 1828. He spent two years in teaching in classical schools-one year in Reading, Pennsylvania, and one year in Harford County, Maryland. He entered the Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey, in 1830, and took the full course of three years' study and was graduated in theology in October, 1833. He was licensed to preach in October, 1833, by the Presbytery of New Castle. He received calls from McConnellsburg, Greenhill and Wells Valley churches, was ordained and installed as pastor of these churches on June 11, 1834, by the Presbytery of Carlisle, and served them till 1864. Having received a unanimous call from the church he went to Williamsburg, Blair County, Pennsylvania, in the Presbytery of Huntingdon, where he remained as pastor till the spring of 1883, when he resigned his charge on account of age, and came to New Haven, where he resided and preached occasionally, as age and its attendant infirmities permitted.
