Thomas White
ID # 5247, (1795-1870)
| Birth | Thomas White was born in March 1795 at Scotland. |
| Marriage | He married Mary Harvie, daughter of Alexander Harvie and Mary Cameron, in 1826 at Dumfries Township. Our information for the marriage year of Mary Harvie and Thomas White, 1826, comes from the 1883 Warner and Beer History of Brant County. It also says that they were married by Squire Ellis. Ellis is mentioned by James Young in his history of Galt and Dumfries. We have little in the way of information about him. He had authority to marry people prior to the establishment of churches in the area and apparently moved to Wellington County in later years. |
| Death | He died on 7 December 1870 at Branchton, Waterloo Co., Ontario, at age 75. |
| Burial | He was buried at Section 2, Mountview Cemetery, Galt. |
| Note | A death notice for Thomas White appears in the 21 December, 1870 edition of the Dumfries Reformer. This was transcribed by Rosemary Ambrose for the Waterloo Region branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. It reads Died 8 December 1870. Thomas White of Branchton, aged 74 years, 10 months. Death reg 015073-71 South Dumfries, Waterloo Co. Thos. White died 7 Dec. 1870. Age 74. Born Scotland. Presbyterian. Physician's name omitted. Informant Hugh White, farmer, South Dumfries.
