General Notes: Husband - Samuel Crawford White

---

He was born in Adams County, Pennsylvania, where his family had come from Connecticut in the early days, and was reared on a farm in that county. During the War of 1812 he was a commissioned officer from Adams County. He was captured by the British and held as prisoner for some time. Eventually escaping or being released, he again entered the American army, but peace was made between the two nations and he returned home. Later he moved from Adams County to Perry County, Pennsylvania, and engaged in the lumber business at Baileys. He was successful in his undertaking and amassed wealth. In 1854 he moved to Juniata township and settled in Tuscarora, where he lived until his death at the age of eighty-three. He was a prominent Democrat, active at all times in the interest of his party, and was once a candidate for legislative honors from Perry County. Both he and his wife were members of the Reformed church.

He was captain of the 93rd Reg. of Penna. Militia in the War of 1812. See page 512 in 2nd series, vol. 22 of the Pennsylvania Archives.
