Biography

Jennettie (Head) White was a Missourian.
Jennettie (Head) White was an Illinoisan.

Jennet, youngest child of Anthony Head and Catherine Maggard,[1] was born 9 June 1828 in Clay County, Missouri.[1][2][3] Her father was a farmer, who moved the family to Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois, about 1939.[1] She lived there with her family until 1846.[1]

On 19 April 1849 at Big Pigeon near Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, she married William Steven White,[4] son of Henry Harvey White and Rebecca Smith.[citation needed] They had six children:

  • Elizabeth White (b. August 1850;[5] d. ~1850 or 1851).[6]
  • Mariel (Mary) White (b. ~1851;[7] d. after 1860).[7][3]
  • Kathrin White (b. May 1857;[7] m. __ Hawkins (at least one daughter);[8][9] m. David A. Campbell;[8] d. after 1920).[10]
  • Samuel White (b. October 1859;[7][11] d. before 1900).[3]
  • William Edgar White (b. 16 May 1860 (the 1860 census indicates about 1857; the 1900 census May 1861);[7][11] m. Sadie Rebecca Stokley;[12] d. 11 October 1940).[13] Nine children.
  • Nettie White (b. ~1864; m. John Kearney;[14] d. before 1900).[2][3]
Jennettie (Head) White was an Iowan.

The couple settled in Pottawattamie County, where the family in 1850 was comprised of William (age 26, b. Vermont, unemployed), Genet [sic] (21) and their two-month-old daughter Elizabeth White.[5] By 1860 the famly had moved to Ashton Township, Monona County, Iowa, where William purchased land worth $1,100 (about $34,000 in 2019).[7][15] The growing household then included William (age 36, farmer), Janette (30), and their children Mary (8), Catherine (5), William (3) and Samuel (nine months).[7][11]

Jennettie (Head) White was a Nebraskan.

After her husband died about 1880 and was buried in Ashton Township, Iowa,[2] she moved to Nebraska with her children in 1881, settling a mile from Sterling, Nebraska.[2]

In 1900, 69-year-old Jennet (mother of six, two still living) resided with her daughter Katie (age 43) and her husband David Campbell (50) and Katie's daughter ___ Hawkins (16) in Tecumseh, Johnson County, Nebraska.[3]

Jennet, age 86, died 20 February 1915 at the home of her daughter Catherine in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska.[2] She was buried at Tecumseh Cemetery, Tecumseh.[16]

Hi! The default text for the Nebraska Sticker has changed (to "a Nebraskan"), and the ability to change the default text added. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Nebraska_Sticker for examples.

Cheers, Liz

P.S. I'm posting just to let you know, since I don't believe that the change to the template registers as a change to the profile. You don't need to do anything unless you'd prefer different text. Previously, the default text was "a part of Nebraska". The Illinois Sticker was updated a while back.

Not sure how I missed the other stickers! Both the Iowa Sticker and the Missouri Sticker were also updated in February. See their template pages - Template: Iowa Sticker & Template: Missouri Sticker.
