Notes for Henry WHITE
Henry White, 1st of James City, County, Virginia, planter, was as has been previously stated, probably the brother of James and John White. His name first appears July 4, 1649, when he received a grant of 200 acres of land "lying in Black Water, upon the easternmost branch, poynting up to Upper Chipoakes, in the County of James Cittie, bounded east upon the s'd swamp, north upon the Land of Francis England, south towards the land of Peter Wall, and west into the woods." September 25, 1663, when styled "Senior", - the grant to his son, was styled "Junior", which is afterwards referred to, bearing the same date and being recorded on the same page, - he obtained a patent for 200 acres on the south side of the Carolina River.
In February (12th mo., O.S.) of that year he, together with Peter Gill, obtained a grant of 1000 acres in Charles City County, and May 9, 1666, one for himself alone of 1800 acres in Accomac County. It is probable that Henry White did not long survive this purchase, but the absence of any county records for that period renders it impossible to ascertain the exact year of his decease.
