If the widow applied for a veteran's pension, the application will contain the names of his children living at the time of the app. With a common name like John White, though, you'll need more info on his military service from your own records to single him out: dates, unit, etc. Dick Kinkead Lantana, FL http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/military/
