Husband's General Notes

Opened a variety store (1831) in Monroe in which was sold nearly
everything wanted by the early pioneers. After his marriage he founded
the village of Newport (1835), which he named after his birthplace, as
one of the first settlers and built the first school house, and gave land
to the town for general purpose. He opened the General Store, build and
operated a sawmill, managed a nursery and greenhouses and operated an
open house under the sign of the "Stage and Steamboat House. During the
"Patriot War" this was the general rendezvous of the "Hunters" and the
Malden Raid was planned at, and started from there. He was postmaster
for 30 years and served as Justice of the Peace for most of that time.
Later the couple moved back to Monroe where they bought the family
home in 1866 but he died before they could move in. The family moved in
shortly afterwards.

He was a member of the Baptist Church.

Wife's General Notes

SOURCES:
Article in the Monroe, Mi. Democrat Nov 3,1898:
"A good woman, a notable figure in our day, has just left us. It means
much to the community to miss a familiar face, a pleasant voice, an
earnest, interested co-worker and a true friend, to have them go out of
our lives forever."
She came to Monroe for a visit in 1836 and the following year married
William White. The couple then moved to Newport.
