• Notes

  Will: book H, page 94, Bedford Co., Va. The first White to Bedford County, Virginia was Captain Jacob White.  He came from Buckingham County soon after the revolution.  He was the son of Henry White.  Henry moved to Bedford County  in  his old age.  Henry White came from Buckingham to Bedford  County about 1800, evidently to spend his declining years with his  son,  Jacob,  who  had  preceded him several years.   His  will,  dated August  18,  1800, and probated September 27,  1802,  in  Bedford (Will Book "B," page 366). Jacob White, son of Henry White of Buckingham County, Virginia,  came to Bedford Soon after the Revolutionary War, and  settled  near James River, in the northeastern part of  the  county.   He bought, November 4, 1794, from Samuel Waddy 350 acres of land, adjoining  Henry  Hatcher,  Thomas Hubbard,  Edmund  Winston  and  Charles Gwatkin.  (Deed Book "J," page 164.)  His second purchase was  from Francis Halley in 1805 "West side of No Business  Mountain  and  on  waters  of James  River.   Beginning  at Jeremiah Hatcher's line."  (Deed Book "K," page 1196.)              A historical sketch of Jacob Samuel White, grandson of Jacob White, in Hardesty's Encyclopedia, page 434, says:  "His  parents were natives of this (Bedford) County and his grandfather,  after serving with  distinction and with rank of captain  through  the greater part of the Revolutionary War, was an early and prominent settler  here.  The county was almost a wilderness when  he  came here, and with his own hands he cleared and improved the  beautiful  place on Otter Creek, where the subject of this  sketch  resides." Served in the Revolutionary War  with the  rank  of Captain and was a Justice of the Peace  in  Bedford County for a number of years. The inscription on his tombstone reads:                                CAPTAIN JACOB WHITE                                       BORN                             OCTOBER 20, 1765                                       DIED                                  JUNE 2ND, 1832                        AGED 66 YEARS 7 MONTHS AND 12 DAYS
