William married Elizabeth Smith in 1756. He died in 1780 in Montgomery County, Maryland. I have no information on William (b1736)'s parents, or Elizabeth's parents. They had a son, Benjamin White, born 1759 in Prince George's County, Maryland. I don't know if there were other children of this marriage. Benjamin would be Daniel's grandfather. Benjamin White married Rebecca Odell Chiswell Dec 17, 1790, in Frederick, Maryland. Rebecca was the daughter of Stephen Newton Chiswell and Sarah Newton. Benjamin died April 15, 1822, at Buck Lodge, Prince George's County, Maryland. Benjamin and Rebecca had six children: Elizabeth Smith White Anne White William White, born April 14, 1795 - father of Daniel White Stephen Newton White Benjamin White II, born Jan 4, 1796 Joseph White William White, Daniel's father, migrated to Montgomery County from Maryland. I don't have any information concerning the date or the circumstances of his arrival in Missouri, but it had to have been after 1827, because I know that Daniel was born in Maryland. William White died July 18, 1857 in Montgomery County, Missouri, and is buried in the White-Hensley cemetery. The land the cemetery is situated on was purchased by William White originally. William married Ann Fletcher; she was born Dec 27, 1803 and died October 6, 1866. She is also buried in the White-Hensley cemetery. William and Ann had a large family: John F.
