Also known as Hugh McKillip. Hugh was born sometime between 1770 and 1780. He was the son of Andrew and Elizabeth Lowry McKillip and the grandson of Hugh McKillip of Stokes County, North Carolina. His father, Andrew McKillip, and his grandfather, Hugh McKillip, are proven Revolutionary War Patriots recognized by the Sons of the American Revolution.
New evidence has shown Hugh's mother, Elizabeth Lowry McKillip, was born around 1760, so his birth date is more likely closer to 1780. There is a tradition of naming males Hugh White in both the McCaleb and Lowry/Lowrey families. It appears the name Hugh White comes from the Lowry side.
Hugh McKillip and Elizabeth Holbrook were married on August 13, 1803 in Stokes County, North Carolina.
Hugh and his family settled in Fayette County, Alabama, around 1830 and lived on the land currently occupied by the Berea Church of Christ. Hugh's son, William Franklin McCaleb, donated land to the church for its first meetinghouse.
Fred McCaleb (1916-2011), a descendant and McCaleb family historian, believed that Hugh White and Elizabeth Holbrook McKillip/McCaleb were most likely buried in unmarked graves in Whitehead Cemetery on the hill above the Berea Church of Christ in Fayette County, Alabama.
A history written about the Berea Church of Christ states the following: "A few yards from the present building [Berea Church of Christ], on a hilltop overlooking the Sipsey River, lies Hugh White and Elizabeth Holbrook McCaleb keeping watch on their beloved Berea."
