WHITE, JOHN D. (1876-1910): John D. White was born in Collin, Texas in 1876 where his parents, Matilda Mcworter White (1848-unknown), and father, John Matt White (1839-unknown), both born in Tennessee, lived before moving to Denton County. John D. had seven siblings; Ella An (b. 1865), Mary F. (b. 1869), Sarah D. (b. 1871), Melissa C. (b. 1873), Liza Jane (b. 1878), Allie (b. 1880), and James Manuel (b. 1884). In 1877, tax rolls showed that John D. White's father owned a plot of land worth $450 in McKinney, Texas. The White family lived and worked as farmers on this land. John's father worked as a farmer while his mother stayed at home. According to the 1894 tax rolls, John White did not own land but was a farm laborer for his father in the 1900s on land neighboring the Smith family. John Matt White, his father, passed away at an unknown date in Mustang, Denton County, Texas. By the age of 24, John could read and write English and was not yet married. John D. White passed away of pneumonia on the 26th of February, 1910, at the age of thirty-four in McLennan, Texas and was buried in St. John's Cemetery.
