John White, the Emigrant, was born in the English Midlands in 1696—the first of four generations
of tobacco Planters of the Piedmont of Virginia of the Leicestershire Whites in America, which
spanned the 18th and 19th centuries. He supplied beef in the cause of the American Revolution.

He is believed by some genealogists to have immigrated on the ship Eagle Galley, Captain
Robert Staples, in 1718 as an indentured servant, a convict from the London prison Newgate or
Marshalsea, with 107 others. In the "History of Albemarle County, Virginia," by the Rev. Mr. Wood
(p. 1078), emigrants in bondage from Newgate and Marshall (Surrey) to Maryland and Virginia on
April 28, 1718, included a John White. [In 1717, the British passed a law that allowed petty
criminals to be sent to work the plantations in the American colonies for seven years instead of
being whipped or burnt on the hand—paving the way for thousands of convicts to become
indentured servants.]

Two decades later (1739), John White, the Emigrant, obtained, from King George The Second,
235 acres in Orange County, Virginia, east of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where he later held a
large tobacco plantation on the banks of the Rapidan River at one time with 17 slaves. On July 1,
1767, a tract of land known as the Octonio Grant was auctioned off. Clerk for the sale may have
been James Madison, Sr., father of the future president of the United States. John White bought lot
#4 of this tract, an area of 356 acres, for 75 pounds. He made a cash payment of 49 pounds, and
by June 22, 1769, he had paid the full price to Mr. Madison. Other Whites who bought portions of
the tract included Henry, who bought 156 acres and Jeremiah, who bought 321 acres. A ford
across the Rapidan River in the area of the tract is still known as White's Ford; it appears that the
approach from the south was on the parcel owned by Jeremiah, who served as Orange County
Justice of the Peace and left a will proved in May, 1777.

The Virginia colony at that time was dominated by elite planters who were also in control of the
established Anglican Church and who had a major role in gaining independence and the
development of democratic-republican ideals of the United States. The family of President James
Madison had lands virtually neighboring John White.

His son Conyers, his grandson James, and his great grandson James Early White, held
plantations in and around Albemarle, Amherst and Orange counties between 1739 and 1852,
when James Early White immigrated to north-central Missouri.

The Emigrant’s daughter, Theodosia, married into the family of the famed Confederate General
Jubal Anderson Early—which is where later generations picked up the middle name.

John was born February 4, 1696, in the ancient St. Martin Parish, Leicester, Leicestershire
County, England—son of Cornelius (Coniers White) and Mary Tilly White.

John White I died before Feb. 25, 1788, when his will was proved. He left his wife the use of four
Negroes for the rest of her life, his household furniture, stock and tools he thought would be
necessary to make a crop. She was to have the plantation until her death, at which time it would
revert to their son Thomas. After exempting what he had "lent" his wife and paying his lawful debts,
he indicated that he wanted his estate to be equally divided between his sons Conyers and
Thomas as executors; the witnesses were John White, Thomas Toelson and Mary White.

He supported the American Revolution by furnishing the Army with more than 1,000 lbs. of beef, for
which the Orange County Court later compensated him in 1782. He signed the Orange County
Petition in 1781.

He was said to be a member of St. Thomas Church, in St. Thomas Parish, Orange County,
established in 1740, and the New (Orange) Church, est. 1761, near Ruckersville.
