Census reports give a picture of his life. A younger son of George and Margaret White, 1850 found him with family in Iredell. 1860, at 21, John was in Rowan County as Carriage Maker, living with a Witherspoon family (probably kin of his mother). 1860s was time of the Confederate States, and John enlisted 22 February 1862 in Company B, NC 2nd Calavry Regiment. This group fought in Maryland, Virginia and Tennessee - but no record of which places he was active.
His daughter Minnie E White was born 1867 in Illinois where John farmed, suggesting he bore less hostility towards Northerns than some "Rebels". His family on 1870 included wife Sarah (Kistler) born around 1845 in North Carolina. Next door were Iredell County native John Calvin Kimball, his wife Lucretia Green, and their Illinois born daughter Mary.
Census of 1880 found John in Statesville NC, widowed, with Minnie and three nieces - who verified his family of origin. He married Sallie E. Johnston in Iredell County 3 March 1881.
Earle Grayson White and Lila Johnston were children of the second marriage. Edgar Harris White is reported on 1900 census as " adopted son".
