Notes about Henry White Sr

Henry White Sr. bought, in 1806, of John Templeton, for $50 military lot No. 1524, on which he had probably been living several years. This was later known as the William White farm on the west side of Backbone mountain, near the Lyndale school; in more recent years it was the home of John W. Beckman. The early Whites in the Glades were Methodists, McCarty records Sarah, wife of Henry White Sr., Henry White Jr., and his wife Sarah, as members of the class in 1824 at Yough Glades, and several of the family were enrolled in the Sabath school in 1837. The White Church is in Ryan's Glade, originally it was a non-demoninational community church, but when the present buildinhg was constructed in 1873 was dedicated as an M.E. Church with the understanding that it would be available for use by other demoninations. It was painted white and for this reason called "The white church." The first church services in the neighboorhood were held at "Burnt School." where the present Shook Shop school stands. About the time of the Civil War there sere seversl families of colored people in the vincinity; they also used the white church. Wen the colored people held services, they occupied the front seats, but when attending the white folks' services they sat in the back. The early settlers turned their cattle loose on the glades, herding them in in summer, but as the country settled up, some men of capital patented large tracts of State land, which they put under fence. One of these cattle ranches, owned by John Hoye, included several hundred acres of what is now the west part of Nt. Lake Park, Garrett Co., Maryland extending to the Weber nurseries and south, where it joined David Lynn's "Pasture." John Hoye kept a business account of Henry White II from 1826 to 1837. Among the "credits" to White in this account were as follows: 1828 - making 4,115 panels of fence, 11 rails to the panel, is 45, 265 rails at $1.00 per 100 = $425.65. 1831-39 .bs. venison sent down by Calmes' John =$1.17: 1832, clearing 10 acres of land at W.W. Hoyes =$60.00; 1833 grubbing 10 acres land on Big Pasture on the Little Yough =$10.00. White and his sons are said to have comped at the site of Loch Lynn Heights, Garrett Co., Maryland while they were fencing the Hoye pasture; they were industrious: White's credits totaled $1,008, 85; he was paid in cash and land.
