Cattle driver, stone mason, and mechanic.
WHITE, CAPTAIN NEWTON
Many of the prominent cattlemen of Texas learned habits of discipline and command in the Confederate service which has contributed much to their success in after life. Among these is Capt. White, who resides at Clarendon, Texas, and was born in Livingstone , Alabama, November 5, 1833.
His father was Joseph White, of Virginia. He married Elizabeth Jones, of Alabama, and became the father of two children, Newton, and Lucinda, widow of W. P. Delaney, who was killed during the war. He was a physician in Sumter County, Alabama, moved to Mississippi, and thence to Texas, locating at Corsicana, and dying at Bryan, in 1874.
Capt. Newton White lived in Alabama until he was twelve years old, in Mississippi, until 1851, and divided his time between the farm and attending the public schools. In 1851 he came to Corsicana, Texas, with his father, and engaged in farming and brick making. He moved to Parker County in 1856 and was one of the organizers of that county. He enlisted as a soldier in McCord's regiment of the Confederate army, and was first promoted to Lieutenant, and, after the space of one year, for meritorious conduct, was made Captain.
After the war he went to Jack County and embarked in the cattle business, and transferred his operations to Young County in 1875 and remained there until 1890. In 1890 he made another change to Donley County, where he now lives engaged in farming and stock raising.
In 1859 he was married to Sarah Bright, who died within the year. April 9, 1861, he married Susan P. Willet, of Kentucky, by whom he has eleven children: C. W.; Lizzie Ellen, wife of Sam Carter; Annie Lee, wife of Chas. H. Crawford; Maggie B., wife of L. V. Carral; James L., Joseph N., B. Willet, Lillie Dell, Fred, Ollie, and George.
Capt. White, besides his war experience, has been in several Indian battles, and, altogether, has had an exciting history. He had no capital with which to begin a business life, and is one of the almost innumerable self-made men who have built up Texas, and whose lives are inseparably interwoven with the history of the Lone Star State.
