White was stricken with fatal illness and his spirit passed to the other world three hours later. The tidings as a great pall fell upon the community.

Mr. White has been a resident of the town forty-eight years--and all these years were characterized by christian demeanor and neighborly consideration for all men. Confidence was reposed in him as a counsellor and friend; his church continually honored him; in the most unobtrusive way he delighted to give aid to the needy. The very large practice of his profession maintained through a long series of years was proof of his fidelity to clients. Nobody impeached his integrity. None that knew him can doubt that he has passed over the river to rest in the shade of the trees. Mr. White was born in Montgomery county. Md., in 1817, and was 71 years of age at his death. He was a graduate of Princeton College, read law with Burton & Williams at Winchester, Va., and attended lectures on law at Yale College, New Haven. He. came to this county in 1840 and began the practice of law, whice he followed until his death. For forty years member of Zion (Episcopal) Church. Many years Vestryman and Warden.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Arrival: Abt 1844, Charles Town, Jefferson, West Virginia, USA

    Notes:

    From Frederica Trapnell notes:

    Her great-granddaughter, Mary Meade Ewart, said that she remembered one of the Riddles of Charles Town telling her that she and her sister as little girls like to go with their mother to call on Grandma Macky.  She had such a charming home and always had cookies to give them, – “evidently they were seen and not fed when they went other places.”   Mrs Tucker (another great-granddaughter) wrote that during the War (Civil), “Charlestown was overrun with the ‘damnyankees.’ My mother (Nannie Tidball) said that many a night they would bang on their doors and demand they get up and make pancakes. They would have to grease the whole top of the stove to make enough pancakes to satisfy them. Did you ever hear the tale that a bullet came crashing through the window and took the top off Grandma Macky’s cap?” No, and Mrs. Tucker died before she could relate it for inclusion here.

    What the sources were of Rebecca Macky’s income is not known, but they could not have been great.  On February 10th, 1855, when she was fifty-seven, she first applied for a pension in consequence of her late husband’s service in the War of 1819, under the Act of Congress passed in September 1850, she deposing that her husband had not during his life time received any bounty lands nor had she.  On July 13, 1878, the Hon Andrew Hunter, aged 74, and N. S. White, 60 years of age, appeared before B. C. Washington, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, West Virginia, to apply for a pension for Mrs. Rebecca Holmes Macky under a Law of Congress passed in March 1878. N. S. White, her son-in-law, swore that of his personal knowledge Mrs. Macky applied for and obtained a Land Warrant for 160 acres of land under the 1850 Law and that she sold the land for a dollar an acre.  One of the papers in this latter claim ends with the statement, “She has been known by general reputation and by her intimate friends as the widow of said John Macky and is and has ever been a lady of the highest respectability.”  The file does not show what disposition was made of this claim.  She was eighty years old and died before its probable conclusion.

    On the 15th of April, 1852, “...Rebecca H. Mackey of Charlestown, Jefferson County, Virginia, for motives of benevolence and in consideration of the long fidelity of servant Thomas, commonly called Thoms Hataway, have manumitted and set free from slavery,...my negroe man Thomas Hataway and I hereby give, grant and return unto said Thomas all my right, title and claim of, in and to his person, labor and services and of, in and to all the estate and property to which he may now have or may hereafter acquire.” (Jeff. Co. Deed Bkl, 32, p272).

    Notes:

    From Frederica Holmes Trapnell 1968 biography of John Macky

    The second Edward McGuire “was born in Winchester in July 1767. He was bred to the business of a merchant, entering first the store of Col. Dowdell in Winchester with whom he remained several years.   After attaining the age of 20, he began business for himself at Battletown, now Berryville, and was so successful as to be able to also to open stores at Winchester and in North Carolina.  Desiring to retire, he sold his three stores for 8000 Virginia currency, but fraudulent behavior on the part of the purchaser prevented him from receiving any of the purchase money for a long time and brought him to acute financial embarrassment.  In 1805, he commenced keeping the large hotel in Winchester (which had been built by his father and previously rented to various innkeepers), made a very comfortable fortune, paid all his debts and supported and liberally educated his children.

    “He was a quiet man, apparently stern to those who did not know him well; but in reality sociable and hospitable, and generous and charitable to the needy.  His son said, in his own old age, that his father was the most strictly truthful man he had ever known.” (Stanard, p. 32-33.)

    He died on November 23 at his home in “Woodville,” near Berryville.  Standard and the Frederick Parish Register, 1825-42, both say he died in 1827, but his will was dated the 12th of November, 1828, and was proved on December first of that year.  It provided for payment of his debts and then his estate was to be divided equally among all his children, except that over and above their equal share, his daughter Rebecca Macky was to have $500., his son Edward D. McGuire, a Negro boy named Bill; his son John Samuel McGuire, $500. Towards completion of his education.  His son Hugh H. McGuire and his son-in-law Alexander S. Tidball (a lawyer and the husband of his daughter Millicent) were the executors. (Fred. Co. WIll Bk. 15, p. 19.)


    From Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography:

Also owned large farms in Frederick county and elsewhere in Virginia. In politics he was a Federalist, and was a member of the Episcopal church. He married Elizabeth Holmes, of Winchester, Virginia.
