   Egbert White (Isaac⁸, William A.⁷), grandfather of the compiler, was born at Beekman, New York. He died December 15, 1901, at Farragut, Iowa, and is buried there. Married September 20, 1846, Mary Ann Wright of Beekman. She was born November 16, 1827, at Warwick, Orange County, New York, later moving to Beekman where she married. She died January 14, 1916, at the home of her daughter, Charlotte Ann Blevins, at 1277 West 23rd Street, Los Angeles, and is buried at Farragut, Iowa.

   Mary Ann Wright was the daughter of Phoebe Halstead, born November 26, 1791, and John Wright, born February 25, 1786. John Wright was in the War of 1812, and his father, David Wright, was in the same company of Ulster County militia, with Gershom Halstead, father of Phoebe Halstead. There is an interesting family tradition that the father of David Wright was in sympathy with the king during the Revolution and on one occasion drove beef cattle where the British could get them. The plan was discovered by his son, David, and with the assistance of Gershom Halstead, was frustrated, and had it not been for the undoubted loyalty of these two, the father of David would have fared badly.

   Gershorn Halstead was born October 25, 1750, in Scotland. He served in the Revolution from New Windsor, Orange County, New York, in the company commanded by Col. James McClaughry of Ulster County militia, 2nd regiment. The service is accepted by the Daughters of the American Revolution for the compiler.

   Gershom Halstead married Mary Smith. He died June 7, 1822, and is buried in the "Old Town burying ground" at New Windsor. On his gravestone is the following quaint warning: "Behold and see as you pass by; As you are now,

   For three years after their marriage, Egbert White and his wife lived at Beekman. Their oldest child was born there. In 1850 they moved to Wethersfield (now Kewanee) Illinois. Here they lived for twenty years. All the other children were born there. In 1869 he went to Fremont County, Iowa, and purchased a half section of land near Farragut. This was a wilderness at that time, new and wild. His family joined him in 1870 and they established themselves in the home he provided for them and which they occupied for thirty-five years. They had been married more than fifty-five when he died.

   During the Civil War he lived in Illinois. He was a man of forty-three at that time and with a large family, but he was a drill captain in the 134th regiment Illinois infantry volunteers and served 160 days, being honorably discharged October 25, 1864.

   He was the first postmaster at Farragut, Iowa. Children:

   Like many other New England settlements, Barrington, New Hampshire, lost most of its records, both town and church, through Indian raids and by fires. Captain William Cate, who was allied to the New Hampshire Young, Hayes, Cotton, Tucker, Emmons and Fernall families, was one of the earliest settlers. There is a Cate genealogy a, thin, amateurish book, whose shortcomings inspired Eben Putnam to marginal comments and his copy is now in a large Boston library. The seeker for truth had to go to the poor farm! The town of Barrington, a hundred years ago, bought the old Cate farm for its own use and the family graveyard was left undisturbed in the town's care. Tracing the land transfers pointed the way to this source.
