Description	:	William was born in Tenterden, County Kent, England. It appears that he was a soldier and served during the Napoleonic Wars. I hope to learn more about this. He married Hannah Russell on Oct. 4th, 1807. The ceremony took place at the St. Mary the Virgin Church in Rolvenden, County Kent, England. He moved his family to America not long after he returned from the War. They arrived in Baltimore and then lived in Pennsylvania.

He moved his family to America not long after he returned from the War. They arrived in Baltimore and then lived in Pennsylvania. From, "Romantic Kent, The Story of a County", by Victor Lauriston: "...The pioneer settler on the Middle Road was William White. In 1825, White, an Englishman, located at Talbotville in Elgin where he operated a farm for Colonel Talbot till 1828. In the latter year he took up lot 24, Concessions 11 and 12, on the Middle Road. White's sons were mere boys, but a son-in-law, Thomas Williams accompanied him, as did a friend of Williams, George Harvey. They made the trip through the bush with ox-teams and wagons brought from Pennsylvania, where they had spent some time after coming from England. After leaving the Talbot Road, where Blenheim later stood, they had to cut out a road of their own more than six miles to their location in Raleigh. They brought with them one horse and 14 head of cattle which for lack of more suitable forage, had to browse on the thick underbrush..." Obit: N. I. Kent Advertiser, May 1st, 1850: "William White was born in Kent Co., England, and emigrated in 1816, settling in Penn. 10 years later he moved to Canada, settling in Raleigh Twp. On March 22, 1850, he fell and broke his thigh, and was found dead at the foot of his haystack, in his 69th year; survived by 10 children." My source for this obit is, "Death Notices from the Christian Guardian, 1836 - 1851", Rev. Donald A. McKenzie.
