Adam T. White
Adam T. White, farmer and stock raiser, is a son of Jesse White, whose ancestors were natives of Kentucky, and removed to this state in an early day, and here Jesse was born February 11, 1813. The White family originally settled near Chillicothe, when the vicinity was inhabited by Indians; after residing there, they removed to this county. The grandfather of Jesse was a tanner, and accumulated quite a sum of money while at Chillicothe, with which he purchased a large tract of land in this township, then purchased nearly all the lands of an entire township, in Kosciusko County, Indiana, soon after which he died.
Our subject was born November 12, 1838, on the farm now owned by Aaron Johnson, lived there a few years, then removed with the family to the vicinity of Washington, and then to the Jesse White homestead, where he was reared, educated and devoted himself to farming. He has always been interested in stock, and raised some fine horses. He was married, in 1863, to Minerva Ellen, daughter of Henry Stuckey, of Ross County; the result being one boy: Jesse, who was born September 28, 1864, and still lives with his parents. He is overseer in Union Live Grange; politically, a Democrat, though his ancestors were Whigs.
He owns a farm containing one hundred and fifty-two acres, well improved, which is located on the Springfield and Chillicothe road, and farms largely to grain.
