Biography

William Cribb ("WC") White (aka Uncle Billy) was born on February 16, 1832, in Gibson, Tennessee, to Allen White and Nancy (Cribbs) White.^[1],^[2],^[3],^[4],^[5],^[6].

In 1850, William was residing with his sister Mary Ann (White) Cunningham and his brother-in-law in Gibson County, Tennessee. In 1852, William moved to Multnomah County, Oregon to reside with his brother, and then to Yamhill County in about 1854.^[1]

William married Susan ("Amanda" or "Manda") Lenox.^[1],^[3],^[4],^[5],^[7],^[6]. The couple were long-time residents of Umatilla County.^[1],^[8]

The couple had several children, including at least Lewis Owen (b. abt 1861 in Oregon), Elizabeth (b. abt 1863 in Oregon), Orvy (sp?) (b. abt 1866 in Oregon), William (b. abt 1868 in Oregon), Rosella (b. abt 1871 in Oregon), Harriet (b. abt 1873 in Oregon), Delia (b. abt 1876 in Oregon), and Nancy.^[3] In 1870, the William was working as a farmer and residing in Umatilla County with then-born children William (b. abt 1857-1858 in Oregon), Owen, Elizabeth, Orby, and William F. (b. abt 1868-1869).^[9] In 1880, the family was residing together (with the exception of the elder son William) in Cottonwood, Oregon, where William was farming and all the children except Owen and Elizabeth were attending school.^[3]

In 1902, the couple's daughter Delia passed away of a "lingering illness," leaving behind her husband Clarence Albert Getchell and two small children, a boy and a girl.^[10],^[11] Some time after her death, it appears that the children, Clarence W. and Bonita M., arrived to live with William and Amanda as they were counted in the couple's household in the 1910 census.^[12] By 1910, William was 79 years old and still listed as a farmer.^[12] The couple's unmarried son, Lewis Owen, was also residing with the elderly couple in 1910.^[12]

Willam passed away in November 1915, and is buried with is wife Susan Amanda Lenox White.^[6]
