    ... Joseph White,5 b. in Lexington, Oct. 11, 1737 ; m. Lucy ___ and settled in Gerry, now Phillipston, Mass. The following anecdote of Joseph White is given us by one of his granddaughters: "Immediately succeeding the Revolutionary war the United States government offered a reward for the apprehension and conviction of parties who were making and passing counterfeit money. The advertisement was printed in the 'Worcester Spy.' Joseph White, then living in Gerry, had reason to suspect some men that he found meeting in an old schoolhouse. He caused their arrest and they were taken to Worcester for trial, and convicted. Mr. White then sent to Washington for the reward, but the government put him off with the plea that it was too poor to pay it at the time. After Joseph White's death, his son Nathaniel took the matter up, but papers containing necessary information could not be found, and although the debt was acknowledged to be a just one it has never been paid." Joseph White d. in Gerry, Dec. 3, 1795. His widow Lucy d. Jan. 22, 1815, aged 82.

    After his marriage, Nathaniel White moved to Westford, Vt., and during the war of 1812 drew wood and provisions across Lack Champlain for the army, and received a land warrant in payment for the work. While living there he lost four children, with scarlet fever, within one month. He returned to Massachusetts, living in Phillipston, New Salem, Petersham and Athol, until 1833, when he settled in Plainsfield, Mass. He d. June 12, 1857, aged 82. His wife Elizabeth, d. Mar. 8, 1864, aged 85.
