Thomas White lived on Allegheny Mountain east of Job. He was a farmer and
hunter. I never learned how old he was or what year he died. He was often
called "Allegheny Tom". His wife was a sister of the wives of Soldier Tom,
Thomas Summerfield and John Wyatt.
His sons were Archibald and Allen. Arch as we always knew him, married
Emily, the eldest daughter of John Wyatt of Middle Mountain, and lived on
the old home place. He was married three times, was a horse jockey and
farmer. He used to be a correspondent for the Randolph Enterprise while it
was printed at Beverly. I got a lot of information from him about the early
settlers as he seemed to be more interested about our forefathers.
In completing my history I will give a list of the names of all who aided me
in collecting this history.
