Edward White
Edward White was born March 30, 1755, probably at the family
seat in Caroline County. He was the son of John and Elizabeth Driver White. His
granddaughter states that he graduated at the Medical College of Philadelphia
at 21, but his name is not in the Catalogue. At the opening of the Revolution,
a number of the medical students in the Philadelphia College joined a company
and fought in the Continental Army. His grandson, Mr. J. McKenny White of
Baltimore, says he equipped a company at his own expense and took it to Trenton.
He lived and died at Cambridge and practiced in Dorchester,
Talbot, and Caroline Counties. His granddaughter, Miss Henrietta Le Compte, has
given to the Faculty an oil portrait of him painted by a celebrated Swiss
artist the year before the Doctor's death when he was seventy.
He was married three times, his last wife being Miss Brown of
Kent. After a violent illness in early life he became a Methodist and was ever
afterwards a pillar of that Church. He was a very benevolent man giving much
unostentatiously. Dr. Edward White died March 27, 1826 of dropsy.
