 Mary Elizabeth Westbrook married William Alexander White. Mr. White owned a large farm, three miles south of Chester, South Carolina. On this farm he reared a large and respectable family. Their son, James G. L. White, now owns and lives on the original White estate. It consists of four hundred acres that has been in the family for one hundred and forty-five years. The land was granted to Mr. White's grand ancestor in 1762, by the crown of England. The consideration was ten shillings for a hundred acres. When the land was surveyed it was guessed off with given metes and bounds, always good measure thrown in. The purchaser did the most of the guessing. J. G. L. White has the original deed by which the crown of England conveyed this land to his great-grandfather.

The following are the names of the children of William A. White and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Westbrook: John W. White, Louisville, Georgia; Mrs. Kate S. Stone, Augusta, Georgia; Dr. W. G. White, Yorkville, South Carolina; James G. L. White, Chester, South Carolina; R. M. White, Chester, South Carolina; Miss Jinnie C. White, Chester, South Carolina. On that same old farm Mr. White, this year, 1905, expects to make a bale of cotton to the acre. He has an interesting family, consisting of wife and seven children. His daughter, Mary Elizabeth, has just finished school. Any one knows how bright and polite a young lady can be when she has just graduated and returned home. Three of his little boys, one named "Stinson," are about the same size. They are about the right size and age to get off with a stranger and tell him all the family secrets. Isabella, daughter of John Westbrook and his wife, Catharine Stephenson, married Robert Nichols.
