The following biography of White was included in a 1917 Ross Co., Ohio history: He was six years of age when his parents moved to Kentucky. He lived in that state until 1818, in which year he came to Ross County. White Morgan had learned the trade of stone mason and followed it for a number of years in connection with farming. On March 21, 1820, he settled on a farm two miles north of Bloomingburg in Fayette County, but in February, 1826, moved to the McDonald farm in Twin Township of Ross County. In 1829 he bought a farm in Concord Township. Concord Church now stands upon that land. That was his home until his death.

White Morgan had a strong and active mind. He possessed a memory that was equalled by few and excelled by none. He never would accept public office other than military. For that he had a liking. During the days of militia muster he served in the capacity of major and of lieutenant-colonel. He was six feet high, straight as an Indian and possessed a magnificent voice. He had the credit of being one of the best regimental commanders in Ohio.
