WHITE, John, soldier, born in England; died in Virginia about 1780. He was of Irish parentage, and became a surgeon in the British navy, but, leaving the service, he came with his family to this country and settled in Philadelphia. He entered the Revolutionary army as a captain, and was soon promoted colonel of the 4th Georgia battalion. It is claimed that during the siege of Savannah, with a small body of men, by a successful stratagem, he made prisoners of Captain French and 111 British regulars on Ogeechee river, about twenty-five miles from Savannah, and also the crews of five vessels, forty in number, and 130 stand of arms. He was wounded at the assault of Spring-hill redoubt, 9 October, 1779, and obliged to retire from the army.
