John White was an English indentured servant, who supplied beef to troops during the American Revolution.[1] He was among the early settlers of the Virginia Piedmont and received 235 acres from King George on the eastern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Swift Run Gap in Virginia.[2][3] The grant was in exchange for bringing four indentured servants to the Colony from Great Britain. He owned 1,000 acres and a tobacco plantation in the part of Orange County, Virginia, that is today Greene County, near the Rapidan River.[4][5]
