  THOMAS W. WHITE, one of the representative Planters of Northern Alabama, is a
native of Virginia, where his father and mother were also born. His parents were
Colonel James and Eliza (Wilson) White. The former was one of the first business
men in Northern Alabama, and a large land owner in the vicinity of Huntsville.
He died in Virginia in 1838.

  Our subject was born in Virginia in 1817, and resided there until he came to
Huntsville in l839. Mr. White has been a planter all of his life, and owns a
fine plantation on each side of the Tennessee River, at Whitesburg. While, in no
sense, a politician, he has been honored by his fellow-citizens who elected him
to the mayoralty of Huntsville in 1881 and 1882.

  Mr. White is a man of commanding presence. and a noble type of a Southern
gentleman. In 1840 he was united in marriage with Miss Susan Bradley, a daughter
of Major James Bradley, a cotton broker and commission merchant, well-known in
Huntsville and New Orleans. Twelve children have been born to them. Three sons
were in the Southern army, Alexander, James and William.
