Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 547-548:
James White, formerly a well known farmer of Mersea township, now living retired, is one of the oldest citizens of that township, where he was born and has passed his entire life. He was a pioneer among pioneers, and is a worthy descendant of his sturdy Scotch forebears, being noted for his unswerving honesty and uprightness of character.
     James White, father of James, was the first of the family to leave Scotland, coming to Canada when a young man and locating in Mersea township. He obtained Lot no. 236, of the Talbot Grant, on what is now Talbot Street, a tract of 200 acres, on which he erected a log house and began his pioneer life. By unremitting industry and hard labor he cleared a portion of the homestead, and passed the rest of his life there, engaged in farming. He died in 1853, at the age of sixty-five, and was buried in the family lot on the farm, an old willow tree marking his last resting place. He and his wife were members of St. John's English Church, of which he was one of the founders. He married, in Mersea township, Phoebe Walton, who died when nearly eighty-seven years of age, and is buried beside her husband. She was a devoted wife and mother, a true Christian woman, and shared uncomplainingly all the hardships and privations of pioneer life. The children of this union were as follows: Betsey (deceased), who married John Robinson; Mary (deceased), who married Thomas Hodgson; Jane (deceased), who married Russell Fox, of Mersea township; Nancy (deceased), who married Absalom Jones; Phoebe, who married Major Thomas M. Fox, of Wheatley; James, who is mentioned below; John, also mentioned below, who lives on the home farm; and George, a retired farmer, who lives in Leamington.
