Duncan Campbell, above named, bought out a lease of some of the forfeited lands.

6b Mary	fl 1700	Mary Campbell (called Polly) married Moses White. Their son, Moses White, married Mary McConnell. They first settled in Charles County, Pennsylvania, upon their arrival in the Colonies. Later they removed to Eowan County, North Carolina. Moses White married a second time, Eleanor . He had ten children, six sons by his first wife, James, Moses, John, William, David, and Andrew White. One of his sons. General James White, the founder of Knoxville, Tennessee, was a distinguished officer in the Continental Army. He was also a Brigadier General in the Creek Indian War. He married Mary Lawson, a daughter of Hugh Lawson, in North Carolina. Many of his descendants still live in Iredell County, North Carolina. See Sketches of Western North Carolina, by L. C. Hunter, page 202. General James White's son, the Hon. Hugh Lawson White, was born in 1773, in Iredell County, North Carolina. He was one of the famous men of Tennessee. He was Supreme Judge in 1814, a United States Senator in 1826, and but for the bitter opposition of General Andrew Jackson, who was determined to elect his successor to the Presidential office, the probability is very strong that Hugh L. White would have been elected President of the United States in 1836, instead of Martin Van Buren, General Jackson's candidate.
