David Stephenson White was born in South Carolina in 1783. His father Robert White was a Revolutionary Soldier under the command of Francis Marion. About 1800 he and his brother Robert went to Georgia. His brother Robert married Sarah Holt 21 Oct 1800 in Oglethorpe County. On 22 Aug 1806 David married Hannah Holt in Jackson County, Georgia. David and Hannah had two children in Georgia: Thomas and William Harvel White. About 1812 David and his family moved to St. Clair, County, Illinois. In Illinois they had four more children: James Russell, Mary, Sarah and Robert Henry White. Following Hannah's death in 1844, David married Corena Clark Durham, widow of Daniel Durham, who had four small children.
David and his brother Robert moved their families to Illinois in 1812. After coming to Illinois David was licensed to preach in the Methodist Episcopal church and preached for the remainder of his life. His sons Thomas and Robert also became Methodist Episcopal preachers. His brother Robert was a Methodist preacher as well.
David is believed to be a first cousin to David White who came from Oglethorpe County, Georgia to St. Clair County about 1812.
Some information above was taken from "The Martyr of Winfield" by Robert H. White, son of James Russell White and grandson of Rev. David S White. This reference also confirmed that William H. White is a son of David and Hannah.
