Bicentennial Farmer


The White Family Farm has been in the White Family for 200 Years


Huey was born in Elizabethtown Township, Bladen, North Carolina in 1880 to Huey Alexander White and his wife, Della Dove.[1] He was a farmer by trade. The story goes that as a boy of nineteen years he saw his neighbor's newborn daughter and immediately announced that one day he would marry her. He did just that. On 21 January 1917, he married that same young girl, Della. They had eight children together. Being the oldest and favorite nephew, he was given the family farm by his aunt, Sarah Jane White Caines, just prior to her death. The family farm has been in the family now for over 200 years.[2]

Sadly, Huey died at a relatively young age of 55 years on 2 July 1936,[3][4]. the height of the Great Depression. He left his 36 year old wife with his then six living children, all but one being girls. The next to youngest surviving child was a boy who was only five years of age when his father died. Della carried on the operation of the family farm through the depression years. Upon her death, her son, Wendell, purchased the farm from his sisters.[5]

The White Family Farm has been in the possession of the White Family for over 200 years. Mary Anna "Annie" Shaw White, the grandmother of Huey, inherited a farm in the Rosindale section of Bladen County, North Carolina. When she married Huey's grandfather, William Carver "Billy" White, and moved to the White's Crossroads area of Bladen County, North Carolina, she traded the farm she inherited for the White Family Farm. Billy was a CSA veteran. When Annie died, Billy petitioned the court for his homestead rights. Billy was granted the entirety of the home, its contents, the 100 acre farm and all his farming tools and equipment by order of the Justice of the Peace of Bladen County in 1839. When Billy died, his daughter, Sarah Jane (White) Caines inherited the farm. She deeded it to her nephew, Huey, right before her death.[6]
