  1. 1.  William Orlando WhiteWilliam Orlando White was born on 14 Mar 1843 in Cleveland, TN; died in 1881/1934 in Knoxville (?), TN.

    Notes:

    [Broderbund WFT Vol. 14, Ed. 1, Tree #3264]

    Fought in Civil War for the Tennessee Volunteer's (Northern) at about the
    age of 17.

    He went down the river as a teenager, seeing a slave-market in New
    Orleans, and was horrified. Vowed if he could do anything about it, he
    would.

    Tennessee was a Confederate State.

    William heard a bird-call, the call to slip down to the creek, to join
    the other volunteers. His mother and sister were having tea with
    good Southern women, and therefore, could not say goodbye to William.

    Sister Adelaide discovered that the meeting point was known by the
    Confederate Army, and rode down on her horse to warn the boys. The boys
    made it out safely.

    His sister Ella Adelaide refused to Reading or Rutland, VT during the
    Civil War, to stay with her mother's sisters and brother and attend
    school. At school she wrote a remarkable essay (copy exists) about how
    she warned the Union Volunteers of the Cleveland region (including her
    older brother William Orlando White) and thus prevented their capture by
    the Confederates.

    William was made a Captain of the union army while still a teenager.

    William and Grandfather Samuel Tarrant fought against each other at The
    Battle of Missionary Ridge. Both survived.

    As a perk for doing well during the Civil War, William White was made a
    'revenuer' for Tennessee. This was much more dangerous than the war.

    I now have his revolver. William White has a gun as well.

    Financier. Dealt in wholesale pharmaceuticals and other enterprises.
    Fortunes shifted regularly.

    It seems unlikely that both he and his future wife were born on the same
    day.

    William married Letitia Dalton Lynn on 22 Dec 1870. Letitia (daughter of Joseph Lynn and Elizabeth Moore Gaines) was born on 14 Mar 1843 in Tennessee; died in 1881/1938. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
