My great-grandfather was a Christmas present to my great-great grandparents, "Carter" White and Ann Bragg, one of 10 children. He and Fannie Susan Overton were married in Lunenburg at the home of her parents, Richard John Overton and Millie Edmunds Bass, on Dec. 20, 1892 in Lunenburg County, VA. They were blessed with 3 daughters and 3 sons.
Grandpa White was a lifelong farmer, and he loved it. In a letter to my dad, who was about 5 at the time, he wrote about a new litter of piglets, calling them "the prittiest little pigs you ever saw." He lived to age 86.
