General Notes: Husband - John White

---

The first of the family to settle in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, was John White, a native of Ireland, who settled in this township some time previous to 1800, and engaged in farming.
He served in the War of 1812.

In 1798 his father sent him to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, to locate land for him. He took up the claim of one McGuffin, which embodied farms later owned by O. P. McCoy, W. A. Young and James Simpson, and agreed to clear the tract for one-half interest. He and his father’s family lived on that claim for several years. Owing to the necessity of more land for his growing family, he bought a separate claim, which contained 400 acres, in the same neighborhood. This place he made his home and reared his family there.

He was born in County Antrim, Ireland, and came to America the latter part of the 1700s, settling at first in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and later removing to Mercer County, near Grove City, where it is said his family was the second of white parentage to make their home. He was a farmer by occupation, and cleared and tilled the soil, where Grove City is now located; he was a large land-owner and considered to be a very prominent man of his day. [BOBLC, 93]
