Notes for David Grubb White
Birth : ABT 1782 PA
Death : 1884 Randolph County, VA / WV
427[David apparently died in Camden County MO … where he was living with Margaret Hussong. We know it is the right guy, because we have a copy of a letter that he wrote to his brother Thomas about selling some land in VA.]
Another source says that David Grubb White was the “adopted son of Thomas White and Abigail Grubb” [I have this from more than one source ... including the book “The Family Album, Dry Fork District” by Carolyn White]
514William White was a very tall, dark man of about 6 feet, 3 inches in height. He had coal black hair and eyes. He was a lean lanky raw boned man. I personally remember seeing Billy on many occasions with his straight black hair swarthy features. (E.C. Wyatt) Billy was darker than the rest of the family and his father, David White used this as an excuse to leave Elizabeth and elope with Ruth. He claimed that Billy was fathered by another Indian, but the family seems to agree that his features were merely a carry back through David’s own family, as Solomon Carr, who was also a grandson, came out so dark and swarthy in complexion that the census taker (in 1850) took it upon himself to list this member of the family as a mulatto. Possibly the family never knew this but it was left on record.
